Reinhard Goebel Complete Archiv box, disc 28.

The first Haydn set I have listened to from a large number of remastered recordings on VOX from the Fine Arts Quartet and the Dekany Quartet. All were from the 1960's . 

The performance quality as well as the audio quality is very very good on this Op.64 session.

Recorded @ Friedrich-Ebert-Halle Hamburg in February 1989 .... fragile and lacking substance a bit, but having moments of beauty too ....

50 cent find ! They go for 50-100 euro on Discogs. I don not often find rare records worth money.

Kubelik (same Zodiac sign as Mahler), Adler ... and Haitink more the less. I think Abbado (same Zodiac sign as Mahler too but haven't heard it). Search for Adler (Mahler's protégé, same Zodiac sign too) ! Mahler's music contains strong feelings.

I love Kubelik's M1 also. 

But my desert-island M1 is Jascha Horenstein's with the LSO on Unicorn.  

In this listener's opinion, Horenstein's M1 is even more compelling than his famous M3.
