I was privileged to hear Solti and Chicago perform Mahler 5 live.  While it is 
certainly nice to have the recorded set, it doesn't begin to compare with the 
absolutely electrifying live performance.  What a memory.

New York Phil and Chambers? Not so much...

I suggest the Chicago Symphony with Solti-- Clevenger is amazing, as is the 
entire brass section.

The recording used to be available on vinyl (remember that stuff?) as a boxed 
set through London/Decca [ffrr: full frequency range recording] #CSA-2228.

Truly spectacular playing!

Sincerely,
martin bender
