Fugue,
obviously your expertise in guitar world is involved. I never cherished guitar specifically and know little about it. There is a guy arond here from AU, Peter Foster – he post here sometimes – if I am not mistaken he ether owns gu...

I never was a huge fun of this work but today was a WGBH’s live-to-tape broadcast with BSO played under British Mark Wigglesworth with soprano Juliane Banse. The concert was a month ago and I missed it live. To my big surprise I truly did not re...

Romy,FWIW I listened to a lot of Bruckner and Mahler when I was younger. Over time I noticed that I preferred Mahler when he was more objective and Bruckner when he was more subjective. So at my riper age I listen to Mahler's Sym 2 and 9 and occas...

Last night a small group of friends gathered for a pre-concert celebration of a couple whose relationship began with an "idea" that was initiated three years ago today. This couple eventually married, produced a son who shall become heir apparent of ...

Well, it is not about the way how a given “reviewer” like or does not like the music but the general level of informity of the BMI people who put them in position to express an expert option, not to mention the level of brainless pomposity they expre...

I'm way out of my depth here, I think I know what you mean Romy; my own feeling about Mahler is that just when he's developing what could be the most haunting melody or lyrical phrase he gets bored with it and goes off on a tangent. Not always, of co...

Was Argerich and Abbado the artistic match made in haven? The best play that Argerich ever released on record was with Claudio Abbado....BTW, I usually am very cooled in whatever Gergiev does...The caT...

Yes, that's the one. I look forward to hearing what you think - but I am sure you will not be disappointed (remember to fasten your seat-belt before pressing 'play' on your CD player!!).It is also very well worthwhile looking out for the ...

Who listens to the Mahler 1, "Titan"? Me either until, refusing to come down from Kubelik's New World, I re-tried K's Mahler 1, done here with Vienna Philharmonic, some time back.I talked about my music/sound "Divergence" epiphany on the P...

Yesterday I was listening an broadcast from Netherlands over FM with Mariss Jansons leading Concertgebouw and Netherlands Radio Choir with Mahler’s Resurrection. The play was horrible, starting from playing of Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and ending...

There is an Old Russian joke about a young bull and old bull is coming along the flock of cows and a young bull saying: “Grandpa let run very fast from this hill and have sex with that beautifully cow!” In couple minutes he comes again: “Grandpa let ...

Well, he had his moments; among them:Mahler 8 at T'wood (c. 1974)Mahler 3 at SH & T'wood (c. 2001)Bartok Concerto for Orch (c. 1971)I'm sure there were more!As for recordings, he has a really, really fine Mendelssohn's Midsummer, an excellent Bee...

[quote user="Amphissa"]I do not know how well he knew the music of Mahler. Certainly they have some ideas in common, but Myaskovsky was never as ostentatious as Mahler. Of course, he was a much more versatile composer than Mahler. Mahler had a few id...

I do not care about the Bruno Walter’s or the Mahler’s himself comments. I care about myself and in the way how I want it to play not one plays, and I am disappointed.
I am not a huge fun of Mahler First Symphony; in fact I am not a huge fun ...

Myaskovsky always said that his music was grounded in the tradition of Rimsky-Korsakov, Rachmaninoff, and of course, Tchaikovsky, so that is where the beauty and lyrical portions of his music derived from. But he was part of the avant-garde movement ...

A good new Mahler 6? You should not tell me any longer. Is it the recording from “Zyx Records”?
http://www.amazon.com/Mahler-Symphony-No-6-Tragical/dp/B000025Y52/
Yep, the small budget labels can be a pain in ass but they also can care some really ...

Interesting. This weekend a local guy visited and and he had a conversation about my playback. He said that my playback has very distinct my type of sound and it makes Bruckner to sound like Mahler. I was surprised with this assessment as I always th...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]If you like very slow interpretation,
like I do, then you might start to listen some Barbirolli Mahler… [/quote]I've found Barbirolli Mahler 6 & 9 by New Philharmonia Orchestra and Berlin Philharmonic respectively. I...

that: "... this work, like the other symphonies of Mahler, has to be understood in no other sense than that of symphonic music and certainly not as a musical illustration of such emotions and imaginations as I have outlined. [as in the part of his ea...

If you like the Nanut’s Mahler 6 then you must hear what BSO did last night. Levin lead BSO Boston Symphony over 3 days Mahler 6 concert. I am going to the last one that will be on Tuesday but yesterday I decided to listen and to record a live ...

[quote user="JANDL100"]Yes, please - I would very much like copies of Nanut conducting Mahler 7 8 9 & 10 - that would be wonderful! (I will put together some more, interesting CDRs for you too!).[/quote]Jerry, I forgot to ask. I have ...

I own another Solti/CSO ffrr (CSA-2228, 1970), this one the Mahler 5. I thought about the B7, and I put these two album boxes together and immediately got a mental picture of the aftermath of a great, complex banquet where the guests had come a...

I got the CD least night. Wow! The obscure Slovakian orchestra and THAT play of Mahler 6th?! Jerry, how did you even find it!!!
It was truly wonderful, I was listening it and was wondering when they “slip” but they did not. Playing Mahler 6th orches...

Yes, the main music I hear on this type of system are broadway musicals and Disney orchestral soundtracks (which for some reason always remind me of Mahler). So perhaps on more serious music (real Mahler) there are fatal drawbacks. But boy those dymn...

Wow - Romy, that's quite a find.Nanut in Mahler 7 8 9 10 ?! - I MUST get them! I have the other Nanut Mahler recordings already. Sadly, I can't find the set in the UK. It's useful to know it exists though.And Romy, have you lis...

I see, we just use meaning of “accident” in artistic expressiveness differently. I would certainly do not consider a Cat walking across a piano and playing with her paws the Moonlight Sonata as an “accident”. These types of accidents are just outside...
