Hi, [Sorry for the crossposting] I got the IGMG "Nachrichten" today, together with a paper about the "26. Gustav Mahler Festwochen" in Toblach in July 2006....
... Descriptively you are of course right. The American Heritage Dictionary says the following: Nicklelodeon, orginally Nickelodium formed after Melodium (to...
... Deryk, I guess, if any are in good shape, that they are collectors' items. The idea of listening to a Mahler symphony on 78s is rather frightening. I know...
... How can they write (all three languages): Gustav Mahler was born in Kalist (Bohemia) on July 7, 1860 from humble Jewish parents, and grew up in Iglau...
And how about a complete Meistersinger on 78s ? Wasn't the Karajan Bayreuth recording first released on 78s ? According the Legge "discography" compiled by...
Hi, ... Yes, thanks, I had found that site (though not the misspelling of Kalischt :-) ). I had been thinking about personal experiences: how were the...
... That, Roland, was indeed provided by Nathaniel, now known as NJGMusic rather than as Almawerfelmahler. It was indeed fine. Ciao, Yoel Der Bach singt voller...

... Way off-topic but I can't resist. The Soviets put out a 1930s-era Communist Party congress on 78s. It took well over 20 discs; the entire first one was...
Why have I not heard this before. I just heard this Tornakowsky conducting the NYPO in this outstanding symphony. The 1997 recording is already out of print....
... Yeah, frankly I think I'll avoid being obsessive and trying to get a hold of everything... I've got enough now to last for a long time - truly absorbing...
I have this on Living Stage (as I recall). It is the most horrid M8 imaginable bc. Remedios was VERY SICK and Dr. Marianus sounds straight out of Hell. If you...
... Dismissing the entire performance because the tenor was sick seems somewhat extreme. I go along with Tony D here, a very fine performance (poor Remedios ...

... Deryk, I make bold to disagree with you here. What is Mahler8? M8 is a mixture of the Christian-Protestant Hymn to the Holy Ghost (a.k.a. Spirit) and a ...
Hi Yoel et al., It's interesting to hear this performance described as hellish because I enjoyed it quite a bit. Yoel must have Claudia Cassidy- like...
Yoel, Veni Creator Spiritus is not a "Christian-Protestant" Hymn to the Holy Ghost. It is a Catholic hymn, sung during the Vespers of Pentecost, and generally...
... Dear Chuck, I really should wait since I just approved a newbie post (as we do here with first time posters) and I should respond to both. Adducing that...
... Hello Wheeler and thank your for taking note of my all too elliptical expression. Yes, Veni comes from a time when "Catholic" v. "Protestant" has no...
the two hymns of Dr. Marianus as sung by Wunderlich in a 1960 performance under Keilberth. Mahler would have loved this creature (I am not speaking of the...
Friends: I sent the following message last night as a reply from the composite Mahler messages I receive from time to time. It looks like it didn't make it to...
Hi, ... The idea is interesting, but I really find it hard to single out Protestant churches for the worship of the holy ghost and therefore fail to see the...
... Yes, as in a description of Mahler in the nude. That was TMM(ahler)I, even for me. I remembered it as coming from Alfred Roller but I'm sure you're...
I recently came across the 2-disc Mitropoulos set from IMG Artists' "Great Conductors of the 20th Century" series and bought it for the 1959 version of...
Time for my annual birthday recognition. Wow, i can't believe that no-one has posted one yet ... it's only 8:30am PST here in California, but the day is almost...
... I cannot comment on the hammer blows but in his NYPO recorded live performance from 1955 Mitropoulos uses the AS order. In the 1959 WDR (Köln Radio) he...
Can't include the photo here but the link will getcha there. I am not sure what this does to the world! A print of the only photograph taken of Constanze, the...
I know some might pooh-pooh this as nothing big but I bet most of us will think of it as wonderful!!!Assuming the provenance is good and it is accurate,what a...
