Yeah...I'd say that the 6th is the most taxing part of any of his symphonies.  And I absolutely love the piece!  Some suggested recordings for the original postor...
Bernstein: Vienna Phil...DG
Solti: Chicago...London
Karajan: Berlin Phil...DG
Barbirolli: New Philharmonia...EMI
My overall favorite is the Bernstein.  To me, NO ONE does Mahler better than him.  And the playing is fabulous.
