Anybody here listen to Mahler?


I have always been a fan of classical music but I never really understood or got into Gustav Mahler music. Over the holidays I’ve been listening to the Leonard Bernstein conducted symphonies and I have to say I am pretty blown away and  Mahler seems like bridge from the Germanic classical music to modern classical music. I am especially smitten by the second symphony also known as the resurrection. Any thoughts on Mahler symphonies that you really like and why would be appreciated. Mahler seems very influential on present composers. . I am especially smitten by the second symphony also known as the resurrection.

Another fairly complete (no 8th) is Michael Tilson Thomas' recording with the SFO in SACD for those who care.  

There sure is an 8th in the series.
