I blow hot and cold with Bax but really enjoyed this today. 

Especially like the middle 3 movements of Mahler 7.

Based on our tastes the music industry is lucky enough both of us are not sharing the same household  .... and agreed, this is simply beautiful music ....

Antonín Dvořák: Symphonies Nos. 7 & 9 "From the New World" / John Barbirolli, Hallé Orchestra (EMI Phoenixa)
Barbirolli brings something special to these warhorses. The dark, Wagnerian brass chorale that immediately precedes the "Goin' Home" section made my hair stand on end.

Beyond all (potential) criticism these are IMO hear worthy Haydn performances ....

I've gotten so much enjoyment from that set.  

I love those Bruckner & Brahms recordings. But I L-O-V-E Jochum's Beethoven! The LvB9 in that set is incredible.
