Unhappy with every Mahler 8th recording I’ve heard -- Horenstein would have been ideal, but the sound isn’t what it needs to be for these vast forces, and the celebrated in many quarters Solti/CSO is interpretatively brutal — I was prompted by this review:

to try the unlikely (so I thought) Ozawa/BSO recording. Bingo!

My brain fills in the Horenstein recording as it does for King Oliver, etc. I will not search further.

My brain fills in for me too with JH, but at times I want to hear more, and the Ozawa is remarkable in its own right.
