His obituary also appeared in today's Washington Post.  A quick check of Amazon.com's CD inventory, plus the obituary, doesn't mention any Berglund/Mahler recordings or performances.  Anyone aware of significant Mahler performances by Berglund?

Nope, I don't know any. He was mostly known for his Sibelius interpretations.

I saw him do the Kokonen 4th symphony one time. I liked his recordings of the Nielsen symphonies as well.

His EMI recordings of Vaughan Williams' Fourth and Sixth (RPO and Bournemouth SO) are very fine, now on a single CD.
