Motivated by forum member "HutchFan"  .... :

Kudos for the outstanding Bavarian brass and Marjorie Thomas is just perfect in her fourth-movement solo  .... recorded "live" in 1967 with very good sound (captured by german radio) .... as this dates from around the same time as the studio Mahler 3 mentioned by "HutchFan" comparisons are inevitable - both accounts are excellent, probably the live athmosphere injects even more energy to the swift conducting of Rafael Kubelik - but both versions not to be missed at all ....
