The beginning is possibly better than Mahler.

Interesting. I didn't notice that before, so I listen for that.

I like Maazel's VPO M6th too but am bothered by the near absence of timpani in I. It's just very weak throughout the movement.

Another great M6 recording from Vienna and the Musikverein is the Lorin Maazel one on CBS/Sony. Unlike much of the rest of his Mahler cycle, the 6th was very much 'up to tempo'. It's also a very intense performance. Depending on just how good the Sado one turns out to be, I may 'pull the trigger' on buying a Japanese edition of the Maazel/V.P.O. M6 on E-Bay, which is available at a very reasonable cost. I used to own it back in the early 1980's, and stupidly got rid of it (it came with his M5, which isn't quite as good).

I think the M6 and M8 are the two best from the Maazel/V.P.O. cycle (I'm not crazy about Kathleen Battle in the much ballyhooed M4 recording).

Just judging from the timings, that's a bit expansive (broad) for me. However, the proof is always in the pudding.
