I had tried Bruno Walter but apparently he refused to conduct Mahler's 10th.

Gosh, this is tragic:

Walter's daughter Marguerite was murdered on August 21 of 1939 in Berlin by her husband, who then killed himself; his motive was jealousy over her growing relationship with the Italian basso Ezio Pinza. Walter's wife fell into a permanent depression, and Walter blamed himself for the tragedy, as his daughter had met Pinza only because Walter had made special efforts to hire him to sing the role of Don Giovanni.

Bruckner's 9th in 10 minutes! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FA77PGy0dTk

Listen to the last bars - faster than I've heard before, with a sforzando on the last horn note. Very unusual (to me).
