Then the Mahler 9th with Karel Ancerl conducting. After hearing Mr. Ancerl's Shostakovich 1, 5, and 10 I knew I'd found a conductor I absolutely loved - brilliant performances in stunning sound from the Supraphon label. I have the Ancerl Shostakovich 7 on the way and I can't imagine I won't love it. His Mahler 9th was every bit as good if not better than Bernstein - wonderful sound, fantastic conducting, a great band - just loved it.
