Hi all,
Glad to find some Mahler's music lover here. Haven't been listening to Mahler's music for quite some time actually, as i felt the music can be quite depressing and stressful at times, but do not get me wrong they are great pieces of music and I love them.
I'd like to share with you some great performance I've listened to, and hope to hear some comments from you.
Symphony No.2 "Resurrection" -
Philharmonia Orchestra, Otto Klemperer (EMI)
I would prefer this to Sir Simon Rattles' with CBSO
Symphony No.3 -
CBSO, Sir Simon Rattles (EMI)
Symphony No.5 -
New Philharmonia Orchestra, Sir John Barbirolli (EMI)
Symphony No.6 -
Royal Concertgebouw, Riccardo Chailly (Decca)
this is the only copy i have, not too satisfied with it though.. =(
Symphony No.8 -
Chicago SO, Solti
anyone knows if Jascha Horestein had recorded this symphony before?
Symphony No.9 -
Berliner Philharmoniker, Karajan (live recording)
New Philharmonia, Klemperer (double cds with R Strauss' Siegfried Idyll)
Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Bruno Walter (1938, new Naxos Historical version restored by Mark Obert-Thorn is better)
That's all. Cheers
