As some of your might know I am not huge in Mahler. It is not that I hate Mahler and his music but I do not like how Mahler music is customary being played. They play Mahler like it is some kind of scared porcupine, sticking out his needles; I do not...

Interesting. This weekend a local guy visited and and he had a conversation about my playback. He said that my playback has very distinct my type of sound and it makes Bruckner to sound like Mahler. I was surprised with this assessment as I always th...

I am not laughing. Just the other day I had the upper bass a little extra prominent, and midrange was gently tapering off into the highs. Some would say it was rolled off and flat, but when I played two Mahler 1's and the 9th, I enjoyed him like ne...

Well, it is not about the way how a given “reviewer” like or does not like the music but the general level of informity of the BMI people who put them in position to express an expert option, not to mention the level of brainless pomposity they expre...

Tonight, after playing some files from my laptop and USB DAC into my main system, I decided to browse the BSO site for some possible new downloads. While I was there, I saw a button to listen to a webcast of Tanglewood's Aug. 8 performance of M8, so...

Yes, JJ, went recently in
many new multimedia ventures. They do upload their concerts to web site and
they have one location (not so easy to find) where they have everything in 192K.
The M8 you mentioned they broadcast live video to downtown Bosto...

Well, I know that there are
a lot of people out there who very much worship the “size” of Mahler 8. I do admits
that the size of the thing does matter and to attends show when zillion people screaming
and playing has own special value. However, I ...

Well, he had his moments; among them:Mahler 8 at T'wood (c. 1974)Mahler 3 at SH & T'wood (c. 2001)Bartok Concerto for Orch (c. 1971)I'm sure there were more!As for recordings, he has a really, really fine Mendelssohn's Midsummer, an excellent Bee...

[quote user="Amphissa"]I do not know how well he knew the music of Mahler. Certainly they have some ideas in common, but Myaskovsky was never as ostentatious as Mahler. Of course, he was a much more versatile composer than Mahler. Mahler had a few id...

I do not care about the Bruno Walter’s or the Mahler’s himself comments. I care about myself and in the way how I want it to play not one plays, and I am disappointed.
I am not a huge fun of Mahler First Symphony; in fact I am not a huge fun ...
|

Myaskovsky always said that his music was grounded in the tradition of Rimsky-Korsakov, Rachmaninoff, and of course, Tchaikovsky, so that is where the beauty and lyrical portions of his music derived from. But he was part of the avant-garde movement ...

A good new Mahler 6? You should not tell me any longer. Is it the recording from “Zyx Records”?

Yep, the small budget labels can be a pain in ass but they also can care some really ...

If you like the Nanut’s Mahler 6 then you must hear what BSO did last night. Levin lead BSO Boston Symphony over 3 days Mahler 6 concert. I am going to the last one that will be on Tuesday but yesterday I decided to listen and to record a live ...

I own another Solti/CSO ffrr (CSA-2228, 1970), this one the Mahler 5. I thought about the B7, and I put these two album boxes together and immediately got a mental picture of the aftermath of a great, complex banquet where the guests had come a...

[quote user="JANDL100"]Yes, please - I would very much like copies of Nanut conducting Mahler 7 8 9 & 10 - that would be wonderful! (I will put together some more, interesting CDRs for you too!).[/quote]Jerry, I forgot to ask. I have ...

I got the CD least night. Wow! The obscure Slovakian orchestra and THAT play of Mahler 6th?! Jerry, how did you even find it!!!

Yes, the main music I hear on this type of system are broadway musicals and Disney orchestral soundtracks (which for some reason always remind me of Mahler). So perhaps on more serious music (real Mahler) there are fatal drawbacks. But boy those dymn...
