Does anyone else here share my passion for Anton Nanut? Long-term conductor of the Ljubliana SO. Now deceased.His Beethoven is superb. Nanut's is my fave version of the 7th. I've only ever found 1 to 8, never seen a 9th ...

[quote user="JANDL100"] Re: the Mahler "Nanut set" - I think you might find that symphonies 2, 3, 7, 8 & 9 are not by Nanut after all. But please let me know if I am wrong about that![/quote]I got the CD SET yesterday. Here is what it...

One of the paragraphs in my initial posts mentioned the Mravinsky’ own version of the Nutcracker suits. A few days ago I discovered a performance of it that I did not head. It was on 12 October 1977 by Mravinsky with his Leningrad Philharmonic, live ...

I remember when hearing Mahlers 2nd. for the first time.
It was Bernsteins recording with LSO from 1974 (?)
Liner notes from Bruno Walter.
Anyways I was floored.
I got the record in a used record store, and it was very noisy, unfortunately.
That...

interpretations (something that any VERY good playback should do to a system
owner) and referred you to the Barbirolli’s Mahler of cause I mean the exquisite performance of 1967 of S...

Clark demanded that I, too, concentrate on Bruckner.At first listen I thought it was lacking in that frenzied intelligence of Mahler - too simple. With time I see how idiotic that impression was and my listening to Mahler is almost nil where Bruckne...

Below is the text from Slovens Website that presumably knows Anton Nanut. According to them Mr. Nanut did record the Beethoven Nineth. Interesting is that Nanut also record Dvorak’s last symphonies, Jerry, are they interesting in Slovenian rendering?...

I remember a couple year back I was observing how sound of playback interact with sound of the forest just out of my listening room. Somebody even proposed that it would be fun to have Mahler 7 complimented by the scream “off stage” life deer… Last n...

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...
