Thanks Mark A bit on the brighter side for M5 than the one in Hanoi recently. She did excellent work in Colorado for years and it was only a matter of time...
... Dear Zoltan, I agree with you that some of the up-and-downloads even from satellite radio are disappointing. I myself currently do not participate in...
... Indeed. ... Haha, no, not at all. I was listening to my father's LP of Solti's recording (well, me and the neighbours around the block). Zoltan (who's way...
Hello Zoltan, Would it surprise you if I told you I am still listening, from time to time, to Solti's recording on LP, and that it's not my father's either?I...
... so have you ever heard the 1999 ... Hello, Georges, Yes, I've had that recording since it appeared. Once again I am surprised that no one else (there are...

Yoel: You've been silent too long and I am wondering if you are Ok or not. I sent a private email to you at Verizon but it came back as an invalid address (?) ...
Hi all, Just came back from the Haitink/CSO performance of M6 that nearly turned "tragic". The percussionist in charge of the hammer was a rather petite woman....
Well, would you consider the performance a Crashing Bore? StanG ... From: Teng-Leong Chew To: mahler@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, October 19, 2007 11:51 ...
Hallo, I heard on the radio (a concert performance; last year?) by The New Jersey Symphony Orch under Neeme Järvi a performance by what they now believe is a...
I forgot to note that Mravinsky himself conducted the work and that is was highly lauded by all the authorities as a major discovery in the history of Russian...
... No, the last movement was as intense as it should. The Scherzo fell apart toward the end, lacking the much needed focus that holds the disparate musical...
Well, the Crashing Bore was a bad pun played upon the hammer blow and cymbal player you mentioned. M6 could never be a bore really even if played poorly. Stan...
The following is from Frank Forman and Kenzo Amoh’s discography of Mravinsky: OVSYANIKO-KULIKOVSKY, Nikolai Dmitrievich (1768-1846) Symphony No. 21 in g...
I agree with you, Stan. No performance of the M6 should ever be boring. Some performances will be more intense and better played than others. However, it...
"...the circumstances under which the M6 was composed" may be interesting for a number of reasons but of course they have nothing to do with enjoying (or not)...
I don't want to get into any debate over this, but your response struck some sort of negative feeling within me. Yes, the music is what it is, because we, the...
Oh I completely disagree with this from personal experience. The way you put it is describing music in a vacuum. Music has to be heard and each hearer has ...
... Dear Stan, I am curiously touched that you have managed to hit upon a tautology that is - somehow - wrong, yet. "The Music is what it is" (to crudely hack...

Hi all, I wonder how many of us here (a) read all three volumes of de La Grange's books plus all the available analytical papers and then thought, "wow, Mahler...
"Isn't that the most fundamentally beautiful and inherently powerful feature of music - that it is universal? That it has transcended words?" It sure is for...
Thank you, Teng. I couldn't have said it any better than you did. Whenever I came away from any concert that featured a Mahler work, I can't avoid having been...
