My favorite Mahler recording is of Mahler 9 with Giulini conducting the Chicago Symphony. It is a wonderful recording for many reasons. Dale Clevenger's playing is spectacular.
I own the Solti CSO set and love what he brings to Mahler. To truly appreciate a Mahler symphony listen with a score. It is amazing to realize how many layers there are in his music.
Happy listening!
