It would nice if Noseda could record some of these huge works with the National Symphony in D.C., his new gig.

True, but I don't know if the NSO in Washington currently has a recording contract with any of the major labels. Anyone know?

I was not very impressed with this Noseda M9 recording. Too fast, nothing special.

Personally, I found this Noseda M9 on Fone to be a less than great recording, and certainly a less than great performance. A surprise because I generally like what Noseda does.

Yes, I think he did excellent work with the BBC Phil. (Manchester). I'm sure he's a good catch for the National Symphony.

A friend of mine who attends National Symphony concerts feels that Noseda was a good choice for music director of the National Symphony. I personally, have never seen him conduct, though I've listened to various non-Mahler CDs by him and found them pretty decent. But my favorite times for Mahler with the NSO were during the Dorati years, and a M6 I heard him conduct was the best Mahler performance I ever heard to come from him.

The broadcast tape of Dorati doing M6 in Chicago is legendary. I've never heard it.

There are Dorati's M1, M4, M6, M7, M9 recordings available on amazon.co.uk.

During Dorati's Washington years, I was able to hear him conduct all Mahler symphonies, except M7 and M8. I seem to recall hearing him conduct the M10 Adagio, though I can't recall exactly for sure.
