Well, I do like Solti's Mahler. I agree that Solti's interpretations can be a bit bombastic, but it is still enjoyable to me. I heard NYP with Mehta live doing the 3rd and totally enjoyed it. Very musical. I enjoy Tenstedt's 1st with the CSO. Solti's 2 and 3 with CSO. Barenboim's 5th w/ CSO.
When I listen, I probably listen for different things then a lot of you. For what I like, Solti is perfect. It doesn't mean it's not good.
Also, I think we tend to like the recordings that we have. Once you are used to a particular orchestra or interpretation, it is hard to get into others.
