It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

A second Mahler symphonies cycle thread, if you don't mind

OK.Icancelled my Solti order.

I am someone who enjoys Mahler, Bruckner and Bartok, but I am far from an expert, far from it. I have a good hifi (DHT) system. I'll leave it at that.

I want to have a single Mahler symphony cycle on Red Book CDs, as main listening source. Interpretively, it needs to be "above average" with some very good performances and no complete clunkers.

Good recordings are a must.

I have looked through the two general reviews on your kind replies to my first post. Here are the ones I have come up with. Which one would suit me the most, do you think?

A. Rafael Kubelik's cycle on DG (463 738-2)
B. Bernard Haitink's studio cycle on Philips (4420502)
C. Bertini Colgne Radio Symphony (EMI)
D. Gielen SO Baden-Baden and Freiberg (Haansler Classic)

Thanks for your patience.
