It is not that I do not like Mahler: I like him but I do not love him. I listen Mahler for a while and am quite familiar with most of recorded performances, heard “live” in a number of occasions the Mahler’s symphonies and songs, read a lot abo...

Holly cow, who could even expect that it will be so! BSO opened today the summer season with Mahler second. Levine is at his, look to be permanent recovery, and Michael Tilson Thomas stood at the podium. Tanglewood Festival Chorus, soprano Layla Clai...

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...

[quote user="oxric"] I know you use words in a very random fashion but in my opinion, there is something repellent in qualifying my interest in Vitavox drivers as 'autistic.' The predicament of people who suffer from these sometimes debilitating ...

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...

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...

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 ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]If you like very slow interpretation,
like I do, then you might start to listen some Barbirolli Mahler… [/quote]I've found Barbirolli Mahler 6 & 9 by New Philharmonia Orchestra and Berlin Philharmonic respectively. I...

I spent today couple hours starting to search the DPoLS for Macondo. So far I am far from target but the experience was quite amassing. The “new”, properly aligned Macondo, with the bells and Water Drop and whistles does quite well. I have some “test...

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...

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...

Last night a small group of friends gathered for a pre-concert celebration of a couple whose relationship began with an "idea" that was initiated three years ago today. This couple eventually married, produced a son who shall become heir apparent of ...

Dear Romy, this morning, after a long time away from listening, due to an explosion of lead acid batteries in my rustic house, which left me with a detuned ear, the high D of my flute sounded like an out-of-tune E flat, imagining that a for...

Great signal clarity last night for local NPR re-broadcast of local SO programs. I have heard the Ruckert-Lieder before, but not so well as last night. Again, the singer was backed by the orchestra (these songs are sometimes done with voice and pian...

Yesterday I was listening an broadcast from Netherlands over FM with Mariss Jansons leading Concertgebouw and Netherlands Radio Choir with Mahler’s Resurrection. The play was horrible, starting from playing of Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and ending...

[quote user="cv"]Did you find that instead of resurrecting your interest it finished it off and its now Bruckner all the way? Or did recent changes in the Macondo bass config reveal something new?[/quote]Somebody once asked me what I like in Bruckner...

Romy,FWIW I listened to a lot of Bruckner and Mahler when I was younger. Over time I noticed that I preferred Mahler when he was more objective and Bruckner when he was more subjective. So at my riper age I listen to Mahler's Sym 2 and 9 and occas...

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 ...
