>>I've got one by Szell, a live recording from 1967. Sony SBK 47654 It's almost the exact same length as the Solti you mentioned, but it sounds right to...
My favorite, and unfortunately no longer available is the performance of the Stockholm PO, under the direction of Jascha Horenstein. It is a live performance ...
I don't believe that he ever wrote music for the chamber orchestra. Just the Symphonies, lieder and song-cycles. A pity, because his pastoral moments would...
I agree with you about the Shostakovich and Mahler comparison. Shostakovich's symphonic work, especially his 8th, remind me of some of the more bombastic ...
I'm attracted to Mahler for the feel and emotion of the sound. I've always thought that if music can bring tears to my eyes and make me choke back a sob, I ...
I like to bring up this question wherever I may go when discussing Baroque music.<br><br>When encountering his work for solo keyboard, which instrument do you...
Personally speaking, I prefer Piano.<br>That's probably because the first recording I heard at tender age of 6 was Glenn Gould. This tricky question, which I ...
Hard to choose, I like both! I am continually amazed at how well Bach's music works on such a wide variety of instruments! I try to play a couple preludes from...
Hello there,<br><br>I've been searching the various classical music clubs and clearly this is the one with the most dedicated members posting! I hope you don't...
It's true (about Mozart detesting the flute)! As a matter of fact, I'm playing the Concerto in D right now and I was wondering how he could write this piece...
Hi Flutevixen,<br><br>I hope you don't mind me jumping into the conversation. Wow, you're playing Mozart's Flute Concerto in D? That must be an incredible ...
Hi crillem, and welcome! Like you I am a new member and am so happy to be one. I've searched everywhere for a forum such as this.<br><br>Welcome to Mahler too!...
LOL<br>Maybe Mozart was pressured to write for the flute! Just kidding!<br><br>Seriously, flutevixen, are you performing the 2nd, with a chamber orchestra, or...
It does depend on 1)taste, 2) the selection of music and 3)who is performing it.<br><br>I recently purchased Perahia's performance of Bach's, English Suites ...
Something that I just read about Mahler chamber works...<br><br>Apparantly, most of Mahler's early works had been destroyed, but a single opening movement of a...
As a matter of fact, I just came back from rehearsal. I'm playing the concerto with piano accomp. for my exam in two weeks. I guess you can say that I'm doing...
Hi Hornblower and Flute Vixen,<br><br>Boy this is great, having people to talk about classical music with!<br><br>Hornblower, thank so much for your...
Wow, that's interesting about this Mahler piano quartet, Hornblower. Do you mean that none of his other chamber work has survived? If so that's a real shame;...
Well, good luck on your exam! <br><br>Funny, I get the same impression about Galway. I have the Galway, Robles, Sir Neville Marriner CD of the 2 concertos for...
Yes, it really was a shame. He was young still, and I don't know if he was the one to destroy them or what...He was always quite depressed, even in his ...
LOL<br><br>No, the pleasure is all mine, Crillem! <br><br>Hmmm...what to recommend...Critics love Karajan's 6th,with the Berlin PO. If you can find Hoernstein...
Hey there, Hornblower; thanks so much for taking the time to educate me about Mahler. Clearly you are an expert as you are able to talk about so many different...
Flute Vixen, I'd love to hear about your favorite compositions for the flute. I'm woefully ignorant of flute music (as I am of most music!) and would surely...
By stange coincidence I've been listening to this qrt movement just today. It's on a CD by the wonderful Domus piano quartet that I picked up in a new-year...
Thanks for that recommendation, Asch. Being in London, you must be able to see lots of wonderful classical music concerts. <br><br>Actually I've been reading a...
Hi Crillem, Yes, Walter was an assistant conductors of Mahlers I believe, and if anyone would hold any insight into Mahler's music, i think that Walter would...
I'd like to add a little about Gielen's M8. Of what I've read, it is recommended and a good bargain. A few negative points...The Heldentenor, Mallory ...
Thanks for the replies, Hornblower. Wow, that's actually rather impressive that two different orchestras would record that movement at so very nearly the same ...
