Post Subject: Mahler 1Posted by Ronnie on: 2/24/2008
Hey Paul,
I like the #1 a lot. I have a recording with Leonard Bernstein and the Concertgebouw orchestra. I hope I got that right..
It starts off so light and cheerful. Building up, up, up and then there's this phenomenal depth and weight to it. Makes me think of whales and space travel and all sorts of slow, heavy and cozy imagery.
The third movement -isn't that the one with the "Broder Jacob" theme? I "got" that already when I was 5 ;-)
I didn't know it was called "Titan". I like my Titan much better than my ...whatever the #4 is called...
