I heartily recommend this excellent survey which has never disappointed
me and has helped immensely.  However, although I admire Horenstein very
highly, I wouldn't start with him.  Familiar yourself first with Mahler
(I strongly recommend the Kubelik set) then "beef" up your set with the
special recommendations.  Horenstein, Barbirolli, Klemperer etc.  need
in my opinion seasoned listeners.
