I have a CD of Noseda doing M7 with the BBC Phil. (Manchester) that came with a BBC Magazine a while back. It's really good and I think it was performed in Royal Festival Hall. In fact, it's among my very favorite recordings of the work.

Chailly and Leipzig doing M6 should, quite obviously, be a winner as well.

Interesting putting the 'Wayfahrer' songs on with Tchaik's "Manfred" Symphony, as Manfred is sort of a proto-Mahler work to begin with. Mahler himself conducted "Manfred" in St. Petersburg (someplace else too).

Hope to get to the 6th and 7th at least.
Very glad Gus hasn't been dumped now the anniversary celebrations are over. ]Never mind the first complete Beethoven cycle in a loooong time.
