Yeah, Inbal can be a touch lightweight in the bigger works, but his orchestra's texture was utterly perfect for the M4. And the way he has them do all those gorgeous portamento slides!
I wonder if there was ever some lucky Mahler fan living about half way between Cologne and Frankfurt in Germany during the late 80's/early 90's. A thirty minute drive in either direction and he (or she) could have heard Inbal or Bertini doing lots of Mahler, with Gielen just a little further down the road in Stuttgart. What a feast for Mahler fans!
