Well, the one movement that is actually by Mahler is the Adagio.  You are discovering why many conductors refused to acknowledge the 10th (except the adagio) as part of the Mahler canon.

I love them all but I had to vote for the live solo improvisations.  I'm like Patrick Moraz, wqho famously said that he was an "unconditional fan" of Keith Jarrett.   I have not yet heard "Testament".  How do folks here like it? 

I'm still out here - I just checked this thread for the first time in a very long time and found this post.  I'll have to do some reading to catch up.   I've been listening to the Bertini set lately as well!

Hi all - It's been a while since I was here and checked this epic thread. Two questions: 1. What does everyone regard as the hot new Mahler set/recordings? 2. Is it true that the Bernstein NYP set is out of print?

Another vote for Neal Morse. Especially Sola Scriptura - one of my all-time favorite progressive albums and obviously "Christian".

I have really been enjoying Once and Dark Passion Play with my ER6i's. The Etys are great phones for classical so the more symphonic NW albums really shine on them.

I would have never encountered this band except that my daughter (who attends college in Switzerland) told me about them after her Finnish friends introduced her. As someone new to the band, I think the new singer is an improvement, albeit with a very different style. The old stuff is good too -...

Some of the musical motives from the old Star Trek series sound like they were lifted from Mahler's 7th.

Try your ER6is with Shure black foamie tips before you pass final judgement on the bass response.

I just bought a pair of ER6i's as a gapfill/second pair of IEM's while my beloved SE530's are being repaired (cracked cable - surprise!). This is actually the second time I've owned ER6i's (I gave the first pair to my wife who still uses them). This time around, I've noticed two things that have...

I have all three and love them all. The Bach and Mozart have a lot of period-style recordings. Whether that's good or bad depends on your point of view of course.

Another vote here for the Gardiner. I have several SFs, and Gardiner is by far my favorite.
