Although I cannot choose (and have disclosed that) it does not surprise me that Det uudslukkelige is tied for the lead (with I can't choose ; )

nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.
His only competition was with himself. — Françoise Gilot

Despite the claims of Det uudslukkelige (particularly fine in the CSO/Martinon recording) there's no way I could choose between 5 and 6.

They're so very different, yet both utterly remarkable in their own ways.
