mainThere are two symphonic cycles in progress, one from the New York Philharmonic, the other from the Royal Stockholm Phil.
Easy choice?

Just heard his clarinet concerto performed/ live-recorded with the Phil’s new principal Anthony McGill Saturday eve. McGill’s a magnificent player! This should be a winner.
Having listened to both,the NYP Gilbert is the clear winner, although the Stockholm is by no means bad!
