I have no particularly strong feelings about Mehta but two recordings by
him that I do enjoy are a recent Ein Heldenleben with the BPO and Mahler's
2nd with the VPO. While neither are the greatest they do IMHO hold up
well. There was a recent purge in my record collection and both of these
survived. I also have a Rite of Spring and a Mahler 1 both with the NYPO
and while neither are bad, they just don't seem to have anything special
about them. In this case, I hold on two the disks because they are coupled
with great performances with other conductors.
