    Here is a 1969 ad for these albums from DG‘s catalogue. It would take two more years for the cycle to be complete and the 14-LP box to appear.

    “Tape from the inside”—if you can. The seam split on mine is only on the outside, but the inside is fine. So a bit more complicated.

    Two of the greatest basses of the last century today.

    This Ward Marston transfer is very, very good. I compared it to the Nimbus release which was typical Nimbus in that it was recorded through a horn and the Marston sounded the most natural.

    Then another great Baritone, the father of Igor Kipnis, Alexander Kipnis, a generation younger and also a wonderful voice.

    The same here. I already have too many Mahler recordings for someone who really is not a fan ...

    He did, but given that you're not a Mahler fan I'd suggest to listen to it first if you get the chance, before buying it.

    I really like the art work for this cycle; thanks for sharing this! I just recently obtained Kubelik's DG cycle. I got the circa 2000 CD box set release. I've long been familiar with the recording of the 1st but had never heard any of the others. I decided to take a chance on the complete cycle since I thought so highly of that recording. Some complain about Kubelik's generally swift tempi and light touch, but I thoroughly enjoy his way with the Mahler cannon.

    Yes, Kubelik's 3rd is very well regarded - both of them (DG and Audite). I read somewhere that the live Audite release was recorded in the same week as the studio version with DG. I haven't heard the Audite recording, but I'd guess that the two recordings are similar from an interpretation perspective.

    For what it's worth, the 3rd I most often see recommended is the 1961 Bernstein recording for Columbia (now Sony). It can be heard on YouTube if you want to sample it. I have this one as well as Kubelik (DG) and prefer Bernstein.

    Mahler's symphonies have a lot of different sounds, but I don't think he ever used a cannon ;) I know of only one composer who did, Tchaikovsky.

    Seriously, Kubelík's way with the Mahler canon is indeed "light" compared to some other conductors. Maybe some symphonies in Kubelík's DG cycle could have used a bit more weight, but overall I like what he did.

    I have a good number of recordings by Igor Kipnis, an outstanding harpsichordist IMO.
    Both Ward Marston and Mark Obert-Thorn are outstanding when it comes to reconstructing/remastering historical recordings. I have many Naxos Historical recordings reconstructed/remastered by both WM and MOT and have a number of recordings that are close to a century old and these masters made the recordings so listenable with great piano tone. Unfortunately, Naxos has ended its historical recording project and neither WM and MOT do much work for the major classical record labels ...

    Made a post a while back about used-LP stores (or more specifically lack-thereof) in NYC. This rang true again this past weekend when the wife and I visited Ithaca, NY. Amazing LP store downtown. Great selection, and reasonably priced. But sadly the classical section was literally non-existant. Grabbed some nice early 70s pressed bluegrass, along with some CDs though.
