I would not be concerned so much about brilliance...I have a recording with Vienna phil and Bernstein (DVD) and the sound of the posthorn is much nearer to a cornet or a flugel and anyway...

In the autograph score of 1896 Mahler's word "trumpet" is scratched out by the composer and the word Flugelhorn is clearly legible. "Der Postillon" (mailcoach driver) and "wie die Weise eines Posthorns" (in the manner of a post horn) appear above the solo. The first edition indicated Flugelhorn for the solo, but all later editions call for the Post horn. So, it appears that at some point in between, Mahler changed his mind."

Re: E flat Flugelhorn for Mahler's third posthorn solo

Bb. You can use them on the Christmas Oratorio and take jobs away from horn players, too.
