Hello,
I recently saw this gloriously performed by the BSO and I would like to pick up a good performance on SACD. I see there’s quite a few to choose from, so I am soliciting recommendations. Thanks.

I have 6 SACDs (Reiner, Haitink, Fischer, Macal, Boulez, and Tilson Thomas). If I could have only one, my choice would be the Fischer. I also like Macal and Haitink.
Reiner and Bernstein (I've only heard RBCD of the latter) are famous historical performances, but I don't think they have the combination of great music making with great modern sound that you're likely to want.

Nott on Tudor is another great recording.

Fischer on Channel Classics. No doubt at all.

I agree. It's quite outstanding and beautifully recorded. I still like the Cleveland/Szell performance with Judith Raskin as well.

Relistening to the MTT right now, which is pretty good but might be a little too mannered for some. At the moment, my choice is Fischer. Miah Persson alone is worth the price of admission.

Fischer first!! BUT If you get a second performance, and you aren't hung up on an RBCD version, get the Szell on Sony--- Cheap cheap cheap! just remember to listen to redbook first before SACD---not after!!!
