picked up Nott/Bamberg M2 & M4 used - both are really good!

Nott's 4th might be the best one in my collection - right up there with Inbal/Czech Phil. and Fischer/B.F.O./Persson. His M2 is also really good, but has no extra tracks for the 34 minute finale. It's 84 minutes, so has to go on two discs.

I've listened to Nott's M3 on Spotify, and I'm not that impressed. Maybe hearing it on disc would make a difference. Any opinions on that?  .     .    .

I never knew Inbal did a Mahler 4 with the Czech Philharmonic -- I thought he only did one with Frankfurt and two with TMSO.

As far as I know, Inbal has done M1, M4, M5 and M7 with the Czech Phil., all on the Exton label.  The soprano employed on the CPO M4 is really good. His CPO M7 is excellent as well.

I couldn't find an Inbal/CPO M4 anywhere--can you provide a photo or a link to it? Thanks and sorry for digressing.

You're right! - I'm confusing Inbal with Z. Macal, who has the excellent Michaela Kaune as the soprono.

Inbal/TMSO/Exton M4 SACD is pretty darn good too, as good as his FRSO recording.
