I like a lot of Walton's works, especially his Violin Concerto. Below is my favorite version which I listen to quite often ... The Barber and Korngold are great too on this recording: highly recommended.

Mahler: Symphony No. 6 Tragic - Benjamin Zander / Philharmonia Orchestra
Telarc

An excellant sounding recording, and value as 3 cd set for 8.99.

Tremendous feeling throughout, but the 4th movement really shines/exults.

I didn't know the hammerblows were coming having never heard the 6th before, that surprised me.

Mahler: Symphony No. 5 [Hybrid SACD - DSD]

Just got it today, it blows away the 5th I already had, more gravitas in the presentation, and the SACD-DSD approaches the live performance I heard a few weeks back.

Recommended.

Couldn't find a snap of the original vinyl cover which is the version i have, in glorious mono. Actually, not always in such glorious mono. I picked this up out of curiosity a while ago. Stuck it on the player last night and thought - ah well, that's 50cents I'll never see again. The instrumental sound was pretty poor, very thin, but thankfully i didn't take it off immediately. The voices proved a different matter - the singing was extremely good, very natural recording (for the most part) and all in all I ended up enjoying this very much. This is no sterile modern - although I'm sure, historically informed - performance, it had life , with Deller and Whitworth singing beautifully. An unexpected one of these
