I've never heard anything by Mahler... I think I'm missing out. Maybe I'll buy a CD... any recommendations, music people? (specific pieces, recordings, etc.)

I've heard Mahler 5 and 7 are awesome, but can't personally attest.

*music major geek time*
Conductor: Leonard Bernstein is mostly considered the greatest Mahler interpreter, but Michael Tilson Thomas' new recordings [San Francisco Symphony] are much more recent and are getting very famous.
I foolishly don't have MTT Mahler, but his Berlioz and Stravinski are amazing.

I remember your dad made some comment about an orchestra piece once... "At least it's shorter than Mahler!" or something along those lines :-P
