Bruckner's 9th Symphony is definitely in my Top 5, but I would choose Eugen Jochum's 1966 recording with the Berlin Philharmonic. 


I think this one has cropped up before; I' ve certainly discussed it with presdoug. If I was to only pick one 'track' then although I think B9 is fantastic, I couldn't play it thru as many times as M9, which I'd opt for.

If I'd had gone for B9, then I could choose any of Jochum, Klemperer, Karajan, Wand, Giulini, Bernstein or Haitink... but I might have settled for Abbado's final, monumental performance in 2014.

My choice for 'one track' however will be M9. I could have gone for many of the same interpreters, but for me, this version with Karajan has always remained my favourite:

'one band'? I think that would have to be Tangerine Dream, given the extent of their discography and the fact that I never get tired of it, these days...

 

 
Ah, Mahler's 9th...what a wonderful work. As far as interpretations go, I would want the Bruno Walter recording with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra.....
Kindertotenlieder sounds so much like a genuine Austrian last name it's scary! :D

Despite "Songs On The Death Of Children", Mahler and Bruckner's music is positive, and really about life, not death-their symphonies speak of hope , not despair......

1) If you could pick only 1 song for the rest of your life, which one would it be?

Probz something short yet iconic, eg:
Bez pierdolenia sygnał zerwie, to w realia wychodź w hełmie!
