the way you want to hear it!
Bruno Walter, was a close friend to Mahler and very much a Classic only preference conductor. He does "The Titan" without over-emphasising it's late romantic origin.
It is available on Columbia "<-360 SOUND->" STEREO MS 6394, Bruno Walter with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra.
It is the much preferred rendition by many a critic. I too prefer it to Solti's with the LSO, much praised also and available as a DECCA SXL re-issue.
Yet another much praised DENON recording with Eliahu Inbal with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra is interesting, but too ~ 'modernist' for my taste.
So give Bruno Walter a try, it is really very good.
