Try the Das Lied Von Der Erde. (Bernstien with the Vienna is a great
recording if it is still around).  A very late work, and very compact
(for Mahler) except for the last movement.  I like the entire work now,
but it took a number of years for my appreciation of the sixth movement
to catch up with my appreciation for the first five.
