The only Mehtas I own are because there were no alternative versions. I like his Schmidt 4th more than Jarvi's but you have to buy the average Mahler 2nd it's coupled with to get it. I haven't heard Franz W-M's version. If they're still available, his New World CDs of the Paine symphonies are well worth investigating. Richard Pennycuick [log in to unmask]
