In Reply to: Finally getting around Kubelik's Mahler...and the Klemperer 9th posted by jdaniel@jps.net on May 15, 2012 at 20:09:06:
I think the recordings of 3rd and 7th (and the 1st as well) are superb, as good as any out there. The 5th is pretty good as well.
Kubelik was one of my favorite conductors for early/late romantic music -besides Mahler and the Czech composers, he was also a terrific conductor of Wagner - his Meistersinger (held from release for years) might be the best recording of that work.
