Mink
Headphoneus Supremus
It is obvious I favour the same conductors overall. I ranked the recordings purely in order of playtime, which recording I listen the most, and these I simply like the best.
I certainly heard more interesting recordings, but more in an 'intellectual way" not more musically satisfying than the ones listed.
If I had to pick 1 favorite, a desert island disc it would be the Mahler 6 by Boulez, I love that recording!
