It looks like your question may have come after Tony shut down for the
night.  I'll take the liberty of assuming that he's talking about Ole
Kristian Ruud conducting the Norrkoping SO on Simax PSC 1150.  This CD,
which has taken some flak on the Mahler-List, is in my opinion a must-have
for Mahler enthusiasts.  Not only does it contain the only authentic Titan,
it also has Mahler's hard to find Piano Quartet fragment from 1876.  I
believe this has been recorded only one other time.
