In light of the all the comments as to the short nature of the shortlist I thought I would go back to the last recorded solo BAL on a Mahler symphony - which was Stephen Johnson in Mahler 7 .
He compared 14 recordings.
Tennstedt
Abbado ( Berlin)
Haitink - 2nd recording
Bernstein CBS and DG
Dudamel
Rattle
Zinman
Klemperer
Halasz
Nott
Gergiev
Solti
Kubelik-live
