Could anyone >recommend really bad recordings of those works? It's true: I've never heard a really bad recording of Beethoven's 3rd, nor Mahler's 4th (till now). But I could recommend you an "orribile" recording of Mahler's 5th: Mehta (with the NYPO, I'm not sure). The perfect gift for an enemy. Pablo Massa [log in to unmask]
