I'm also a fan of the Reiner/CSO recording.

I really dig the Kempe recording with Staatskapelle Dresden. It's an excellent recording that is really musical and flows nicely.

It has only one or two spots intonation is off with the trumpet in War Fanfares but otherwise great playing.

I haven't heard any other version, but I like this one....
Does anyone recognize on this video what type of tuba is being played? It looks like the same one used for Mahler 6 when I heard the Concertgebouw in London in 2005 and I was curious then.

I'm not very good at identifying tubas, but I know that Perry Hoogendijk plays Hirsbrunner horns.

It looks like an HB-12 F tuba. It sounds like and F as well. He sure can crank some sound of it. Really great video!
