I'm very happy with Walter's 9th but I really liked Kertesz' Dvorak Serenades, and Decca's stunning recording of them.
I also enjoyed the tone poems.
I'm pretty familiar with the 7th and 8th symphonies, (as conveniently numbered today), but not the 1st through 6th, which I'd have to download as well.
Have you found yourself revisiting these early symphonies over the years, at least enough times to justify owning them all?
Follow Ups:
I hadn't listened to the early symphonies in a while, but I went through them when I got this set and was amazed how good they are. Of course, it might be because of Kertesz' interpretations....
I think I'm a bit more ambivalent about the Kertesz set than most other listeners (who've heard it) are. I prefer Neumann (i.e., his final, digital set more than his earlier analog set), Pesek, Rowicki, and Macal (the later CzPO set, not the Milwaukee set), but of course the Kertesz is very worthwhile too - mainly IMHO for the orchestral playing and the engineering. I admit, I'm tempted by that Kertesz blu-ray audio.
