Thanks, James, my bad.  Now that you mention this, I recall Zander mentioning in his accompanying lecture disk about using a boy soprano in the last movement in a previous live performance, which, if I recall correctly, he featured a short clip of that.

Don't overlook Barbara Bonney with Chailly/Concertgebouw. I think she's phenomenal and is my favorite soloist in M4. I also enjoy Chailly's reading. To me, she has the perfect tone and timbre for this work.

Yes, that Kondrashin recording is quite a novelty, and it's actually really quite good (almost goes without saying). What Mahler there is with Kondrashin is quite fast but also really quite good. The M7 he did with the Concertgebouw is truly quite thrilling (The USSR one ain't bad either).

"Don't overlook Barbara Bonney with Chailly/Concertgebouw"

Yes, I agree! - she's truly right for the part as well. I forgot that one.
