Mahler's Resurrection, Gilbert Kaplan/VPO recordin

I am not going to pay full price for new Kaplan/DG, every review I ahve read prefers the original Kaplan/Conifer (which I do already own) These are my preferred CD versions to date:

Rattle/EMI
Klemperer/EMI GROTC
Bernstein/Sony (prefer this to newer DG version)
Litton/Delos
Solti/London/CSO (prefer this to earlier LSO version)
Mehta/Decca Legends

Best deal has to be latest remastered Klemperer/EMI Great Recordings of the Century version. Single CD at mid price level, spiritually moving performance but not the last word in dramatic excitement. I had the previous non remastered version and the sound improvement is quite dramatic.

Yes the new Tilson Thomas Mahler series has gotten much praise, but they are very expensive for some reason. Don't own any currently but someday will have to pick up a couple of the better ones.

The Rattle/EMI may be best overall choice that balances all elements pretty well, downside is that it is still full price 2CD version.

I like plenty of dramatic energy in my Mahler 2 so check the Litton/Delos with outstanding Delos sound and powerful climax that will really impress, very inexpensive 1CD at mid price.

The Solti/London/CSO is also impressively dramatic but only available in complete Solti set.

The Bernstein/Sony has more energy than new Bernstein/DG but sound is slightly thinner and sold as 2CD set with part of 8th symphony......best to get complete Bernstein/Sony set for @$50-60 many places online.

I almost recently purhased the Tennstedt/EMI Mahler 3/4 at budget price which is supposed to be one of the best 2CD sets from complete cycle.....but held off. Been curious to hear his Mahler style.

Checked my Mahler 2 collection to see if there are any other ones that should be mentioned here. There is another Klemperer/EMI (Klemperer Legacy) Mahler 2 that is remastered live version of 1965 concert. I prefer the sound of studio GROTC version however which has more dynamic range especially deep bass. The live version does have more energy in performance, but need the power projected by studio version.

I am not a big Walter fan but do have his famous Walter/Sony Mahler 1/2 set, good to have to show other end of performance spectrum with relaxed spacious reading. (though I prefer the more energetically charged performances.)
