Previously mentioned, so here's a reiteration.  This is the recording which gave me my Mahler 9th epiphany. None I've listened to since, including many of the aforementioned, has approached it in my esteem.



FWIW, I've yet to hear Abbado's later recordings with Berlin and Lucerne.

Moldyoldie: your pseudonym under this topic conjured forth a memory of an ancient recording of the Ninth Symphony.

There is claim that this was the first Stereo recording.
