I made that discovery a couple of years ago. If you haven't heard the
3rd, you must; it is the ne plus ultra. The 1st and 4th are somewhat
shorter, and, perhaps, simpler. My first real foray was the first
Bernstein recordings, in a box set. It was not the last. Alas...

Hello Frank, I love the 2nd Kaplan VPO M2, and his earlier interpetation was my first Mahler recording many years back. I've heard a critic say this is what a...

Ah, the strange D. Wooldridge - I actually did meet him, Anne, on November
7th 1974 to be precise - and I can be precise after all these years because
that was...
... Wow ! This is amazxng stuff ! Thanks so much. Wooldridge was such an odd person, a mix of plausibilty and unreality. I wouldn't be surprised if he...
The claim starts with Ives himself. In the Memos, he wrote of the Third Symphony: "While this was being copied in, I think, Tam's office, Gustav Mahler saw it...
... Mahler had performed the work, nor does there seem to be any documentation of a performance, though Mahler may have intended one. He died in May 1911....
Well actually it's in Ives "Memos" - Charley had written something like: when the 3rd symphony was being copied by the Tams agency (1910), Mahler saw
it -...
