I think Abbado's M5 is a tremendous performance. Two thumbs up! IIRC, this is the first of two recordings of the Fifth that Abbado made. I've never heard the second version.  4 hours ago, Referentzhunter said: ... bye the way Bernstein's Mahler is growing on me and i am enjoying it more and more. There still are moment that ik think; my god this is to forte ... but his passion and musicianship are not negiglible anymore. My first set of Mahler is Haitink (complete opposite). Bernstein's Mahler is definitely EXTREME. But I love it. Bernstein's VERY exaggerated Mahler Ninth (on DG, with the Concertgebouw) was my entry point into Mahler's music -- so I'll always have a soft spot for it. That said, I also love other ways of approaching Mahler too -- by conductors like Bruno Walter, Jascha Horenstein, Rafael Kubelik, and Bernard Haitink. (Just to name a few.) Each of them brings something unique to the table.  Quote
