Have you ever heard the Barbirolli/Hallé BBC recording of the Mahler 3rd? It's supposed to be really good. Personally, I love Bernstein Sony. I've felt no need to move past this one, especially as I did not enjoy the much touted Horenstein/London recording very much.

I think I probably have the Barbirolli 3 -- I was fairly obssesed with Mahler several years ago -- but I don't specifically recall it.  I'll dig through the files and give it a listen soon if I do...
The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.

-- William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

Symphony No. 6
followed closely by Symphony No. 2
Symphony No. 9

I should appreciate his vocal works better. Das Lied von der Erde, despite being a masterpiece, doesn't appeal to me that much.
Part of the tragedy of the Palestinians is that they have essentially no international support for a good reason: they've no wealth, they've no power, so they've no rights.
