There's a lot of good stuff in Robert's list but - and I'm sure I won't
be alone in this - I can't feel it's complete without Mahler, no matter
who may have to drop out to make room. If I had to pick just one piece,
it might be either 2 or 9, even though I possibly love what we have of 10
most of all. Ask me tomorrow, you'll get a different answer.
