If the name of Gérard Lesne is on it, then none better.

13 CDs and 1 DVD [a complete Mahler 4]. I have heard so far the Bartok Concerto for Orchestra and a Rachmaninov 2nd. Indecently gorgeous playing.
Happy Father´s Day to all the daddies in the forum.

Ludwig van Beethoven
Symphony No. 1 & 2
Chicago Symphony Orchestra
Georg Solti conducting.
A Typical rousing and a rather splendid performance of Beethoven's first two symphonies by the CSO under the direction of Georg Solti, the First is particularly good.

Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde / Solti....
A somewhat dark and forlorn, even foreboding interpretation but an excellent one nonetheless.
