    If by "inessential" we mean "often acquired by accident as a coupling to other much-loved works", can I suggest my, er, 20 Mahler 7s?

      I have three versions of Arvo Part's enjoyable neoclassical Third Symphony:

      N Jarvi
      K Jarvi
      P Jarvi

      In this case the pater is best...

        I cannot think of 15 Mahler 7s ! I only have 4 ( Lenny B's two , the Rattle and the live Barbirolli) .

          For Mahler 7 I have Abbado x 3, Tennstedt x 3, Haitink x 5, Solti, Jarvi(N), Nott, Noseda, Boulez x 2, Gielen, Bernstein, Rattle, Chailly, Sinopli, Bertini and Gergiev. No doubt others would beat that easily. These include some video versions.

            Heavens above that is a lot of Mahler Sevenths !

            I have quite a lot of Resurrections but nowhere near that many - Klemperer(3) 1951 Holland Festival, EMI studio and with Baker in concert, Abbado Lucerne, Nott, Rattle, Walter 1940 and Columbia SO , Bernstein (CBS) , Barbirolli Testament ,Jurowski and Kempe

              I am delighted to have tracked down a cheap copy of Beecham's recording of the Rustic Wedding Symphony on Amazon and look forward to its arrival !

                Just looked at what's on the shelf behind me and I've counted 18 Bruckner Eights. Looks like his Ninth could be a similar number, too embarrassing to count.

                Edit: 19 Bruckner Nines.


                I am not going to look at Mahler.

                  Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                  Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                  Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                    18 Bruckner 8's?? Is that all? I have just counted mine and have found 32. A few more could emerge hidden away in boxed sets that I've missed.

                    I don't have the latest BaL recommendation (BPO/Giulini) or BRSO/Böhm on Audite but have two on DVD and various off-air recordings.

                            6 Harris 3rds does seem rather a lot, obviously a work that you love. It's your 4 Mendelssohn's that worry me - I have 37 and they weren't all bought for couplings!

                                A bit of thread drift - this has turned into lots of recordings of essential classics rather than inessential classics -
