Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony have a fine version of Das Klagende Lied, but I really like the Chailly as well. Boulez was one of the first to record it and has recorded it a second time, but I haven't heard either version. I think he plays the revised two-part version, rather than the three-part original you usually hear.

Thank you very much for that Ciaran. I will probably opt for the Tilson Thomas over the Boulez.
