A Mahler list

Pursuant to my Mahler column this week, here's a list of
favorite recordings of the nine, ten, or eleven Mahler symphonies,
depending on how you count them. I do this with some trepidation, since
Mahler is a personal matter and my tastes are hardly the same as, say,
Alec Baldwin's. But I hope the list will serve as a rough guide to
anyone traversing the Mahler mountain range for the first time.

No. 1: Rafael Kubelík, Bavarian Radio Symphony (DG)
No. 2: Simon Rattle, City of Birmingham Sympho
