Mahler 5 was the first Mahler I ever played, so it will always hold a special place for me. I got a el-cheapo EMI recording of Royal Liverpool Philharmonic with Sir Charles Mackerras conducting. Picked it up a flea market..... it is fantasic. The statement of the 2nd mvmt chorale is the last mvmt leaves my heart in my throat everytime. Mahler 7 is also pretty awesome. I've got the DG CSO/Abbado and the brand new Phillips Concertgebouw/Chailly recording. I never thought that I would find a recording to match the Chicago one, but I did. The new Chailly rendition is truly inspiring.
