Makropulos
Yes, I do agree that Bernstein and Tennstedt could get away with their interventions' whereas Rattle generally doesn't. I'd also agree that Jansons is lacklustre in Mahler; there's something very fastidious about his conducting, IMO.
As for recommendable versions of M2 I also thought that was a strange remark. I am intrigued by the Steinberg, and will look out for it. Most recently Nott's Bamberg version has made a very favourable impression, though his other Mahler hasn't.
