Symphony 9

Paul, I don't have that version of Horenstein conducting Mahler's Ninth.  But I do have Horenstein's version of the M9 on Vox.  I think it's one most intense renditions I've heard.  What do you think of this BBC Legends version?

 

NP:

Gil Goldstein - Pure as Rain (Chiaroscuro)
Recorded 1977

[HutchFan]

Al Cohn - No Problem (Xanadu)
I know I keep going on and on about this record, but I just can't get enough of Cohn's sound. It's so muscular and dense. It reminds me of polished rosewood.

It has the flow and the depth (yet with a graceful lightness) that I find in the best of Jascha Horenstein's recordings. I love the last movement. I actually don't have a Mahler 9th by another conductor to compare it to, but I don't feel the need for that.

The Solid Records cd reissue of this Bethlehem title.

Short and sweet. Mrs. Sharon is okay as a singer. Mr. Sharon is a great pianist, and this has Eddie Costa on vibes, J.R. Monterose on tenor, Joe Puma on guitar, Milt Hinton on bass and Jo Jones on drums!

Off topic, but man do I miss the "old days" of Sunday comics.  Look at that -- a whole page just for "Popeye"!  The front page of my local paper's Sunday comics section has 5 different strips squeezed onto it.  It's no wonder most cartoonists can't draw worth squat these days -- the strips aren't printed large enough for readers to appreciate quality artwork.  I'm glad I came along in time to catch the waning days of "Pogo". "Li'l Abner" "Gasoline Alley" "Dick Tracy" "Steve Canyon" and "Prince Valiant".
