JSngry Posted July 4, 2017 Report Posted July 4, 2017 I can hear the math. It's good math, but I like it better when I'm able to intuit it more than hear it. Occupational hazard, I guess, on both ends. Quote
HutchFan Posted July 4, 2017 Report Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) After enjoying Mahler's Seventh so much yesterday, I'm giving the symphony another listen. Today, I'm playing the first Bernstein M7 with the NYPO: Edited July 4, 2017 by HutchFan Quote

HutchFan Posted July 5, 2017 Report Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) I'm listening to Mahler's Seventh again today. Today's recording is by James Levine & the Chicago SO. As reissued in this box set: I guess I have five or six recordings of this symphony. It's always fun to compare performances.

soulpope Posted July 7, 2017 Report Posted July 7, 2017 A new acquisition - stupendous performances by Sviatoslav Richter .... this may be my best buy of the year 2017 as of now .... Quote
HutchFan Posted July 7, 2017 Report Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) 2 hours ago, alankin said: I guess it's time for a Mahler 7th. Over the last few days, I've listened to all five recordings of Mahler's Seventh that I now own: -- Bernstein, NYPO (Sony) -- Boulez, Cleveland O (DG) -- Kubelik, Bavarian Radio SO (DG) -- Levine, Chicago SO (RCA/Sony) -- Rattle, City of Birmingham SO (Warner) My favorite recording is by Kubelik, followed very closely by Boulez and Levine. For me, Bernstein and Rattle are less persuasive. I've ordered Abbado's recording with the Berlin PO. I'll have to see how it stacks up when it arrives. Edited July 7, 2017 by HutchFan Quote

HutchFan Posted July 7, 2017 Report Posted July 7, 2017 Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde / Bruno Walter, NYPO, Mildred Miller, Ernst Haefliger (CBS/Sony) I actually prefer this recording to Walter's more famous DLvdE with Kathleen Ferrier. Quote

Is this the material issued on 2 Memoria discs in the '90s? They are terrific. Edit to say I discovered they are the same recordings. Terrific, as I said. Edited July 7, 2017 by Chuck Nessa Quote
