In Reply to: Chris, if you've really owned 80 recordings of ANY piece....... posted by Rick W on April 13, 2017 at 12:06:36:
. . . more recordings of other individual works than I do of the Mahler Fifth - I'm thinking of Amphissa perhaps with certain works of Rachmaninoff, and there was one poster a few years ago who, I think, mentioned that he had over a hundred recordings of the Sibelius Second Symphony!
As for all my recordings of the Mahler Fifth, I was actually encouraged in this pursuit by my wife, who was on a quest for the perfect recording of that work (at least for her!), and she finally decided on a recording on the Acousence label by Jonathan Darling and the Duisberg Philharmonic. It's interesting that she ended up choosing an audiophile (2-channel) recording, even though she professes not to care about audiophile matters at all! ;-)
