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...

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...

[quote user="JANDL100"]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...

The Boston FM radio and my Sansui TU-X1 tuner gave another magnificent treat - a whole weekend of Bruno Walter music. I always liked Bruno Walter, although he never was my “buy on spot” conductor. Performances of some conductor (for instance Sc...

Hi RomyI'm glad the discs have arrived OK. The Nanut Eroica is good - the Bruckner 8 is GREAT. You must listen to it soon!I also look forward to your thoughts about the Mahler 5 with Wyn Morris conducting ....Golovanov? I have never...

Apparently, this was one of those works that the artist just can't leave alone. I think it was rather late in the "ongoing development" of this piece that Mahler finally decided to drop the discursive programs and play it straight.I like B. Walter, ...

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...

As wonderful my Altec 21S plays video and pop crap as much it absolutely impotent to play any classical repertoire. In fat when I estimated it as 3 on the scale of Macondo 10 I meant the video concert and operas that I play on it. With pure audio wit...

so have you now listened to Walter or not? If yes, and he is missing YOUR point -- ja now fine. Both Walter and Mahler were Jews if that is of ANY help to your sentiments. I'm also not into all this intellectualizing, just listen and then tell us if ...

Yep, I do not like the rest of the Nanut Mahler at all. That Mahler 6 I think was a big accident….
The caT[/quote]Hmmm ... nor do I.I don't think Nanut's superb Mahler 6 was an accident though. ...

[quote user="JANDL100"] The Barbirolli / VPO Brahms 4 is waaaay too slow for me though - I just cannot get into the music when it's played that way. I do like some "slow" classics though - I love the way Celibidace slows a lot of music do...

Hi Romy and other Nanut thread followers!Yes, the Mahler 6 is wonderful, I agree.Nanut's Beethoven 7th symphony is the best I have ever heard.His Bruckner 8th is the best I have ever heard - and I have nearly 40 recordings of the 8th on my CD sh...

It just ocurred to me to stir things up by posting here about the fact that my own DEBZs (somehow) absorbed 600W peaks during a recent Mahler 3 frenzy. I remember reading somewhere that some owners of the biggest Horning speakers would run them at 12...

There is nothing to explore in Bruckner,,Just repetitive notes without a pastorial background,,,Thats what I like about Mahler,,Always full of color in the ALPS and the meadows.....

Last year I am in obsessive and compulsive quest for most interesting Third Movement of the Mahler first symphony. I happen with me from time to time. I love that French funeral march into which Mahler stick so much twist but I am under a neurotic f...

What has happed did really happen?Today I left a grocery store today, sat in a car, tuned to WCRB and discovered that they were playing the opining of the Mahler 3rd. I got instantly hypnotized how beautiful it was. It was slow enough and it was ...

A friend sent me a link to an interesting video about Bruckner
on analog. I do not know who the guy is; he is a Bruckner devotee, which is
good. I'm afraid I must disagree with his choices, although I certainly
enthusiastically support his appreci...

OK, and that relates to your observation of 'not enjoying the music for the tuning' of the system, and not being able to listen to one piece of music at the time --- I think it is also called "Audio-Nervosa".As far as the venue is concerned, it i...

There are some “unlucky” compositions for “audio people”. For instance the Mozart’s Requiem: still there is no good performance of this work committed to a recording media. Yes, there are more or less OK performances of the Requiem but the comple...

Good question, as usual, Decoud. No doubt it has something to do with the very unusual recording, plus my own penchant for "getting involved" in the music according to what the recording and the system will allow. It was not an LP, after all, but a ...

HI,Music is meant to create a feeling. Who is to say your feeling is better than my feeling. It;s all about sensitivity to feeling and the creation of emotion. If a sound (or a set of sounds) can create that emotion & feeling in you, then your go...

In the case of brass players - including Mr. Schlueter, I would maintain that many simply have no interest in historic context for Mahler or Bruckner - or older music. Case and point: a Giovanni Gabrieli recording by the Met brass section. Sure, it i...

Well, I supose M8 is not a piece to "trifle" with. With 1,000 performers, I am guessing that this is a case where "ambience is everything", and like Clark says, no way to record it, especially the way Mahler "envisioned" it.
