Mahler: The Symphonies / Haitink, Concertgebouw Orchestra CD

 Mahler's definitive conductor on Phillips Classics
Haitink conducting Mahler's Symphonies ought to be considered as a fundamental part of a library of great recordings. The brilliant musicality and virtuosity on these recordings are a profound listening pleasure even though the recordings are arichival, with some even dating to the 1950's. Intelligent and thorough liner notes are included with interesting photograhpic images of Gustav Mahler. Highly recommended.

Haitinks superior knowledge of the Mahler repertoire is well documented and is very evident in these recordings. Combine that with the extreme high musical caliber of the orchestra and you have created perfection.This my most prized possession.If there is a better recording made I would love to know, but I doubt it to be possible.
