I have a soft spot for Bernstein on Sony, although it's more than starting
to show its age. A while back, I acted on Tony Duggan's recommendation
of Horenstein's on Unicorn-Kanchana. It digs deeper and on balance is
the best I've heard: Unicorn's recording is very forward, which suits
the music. I got my copy from Berkshire, who may well offer it again.
In the meantime, it's still apparently available in the UK.
And as I said recently and David Harbin did just today, do try Horenstein's
8th on BBC Legends - it's almost a mandatory purchase. It might even
change our esteemed moderator's opinion of Mahler's vocal music!
