Hi, can someone please recommend some good CD recordings, both PCM and SACD for these two symphonies?
I would like it both musical as well as hifi-ish (separation, soundstage and all that).
For 9 so far I like Bernstein's version with Weiner Philhamoniker (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoH_h6yxgiI) and Rafael Kubelik 1974, I think Klemperer memorial? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVqmzKPbBtI)
Which of these, or any else, have good audiophile quality in CDs?
Similarly, any recos for 5, and any recos for Frantz Listz's Piano versions of the 5th and the 9th?
Also, is the Mahler arrangement of Beethoven's symphonies good, and any recos for that? I liked the 2nd movement of the 9th which I found on youtube
