Today I listened for the first time to an interesting CD that's been sitting there unopened for some time, namely Mahler 3 by the Koln Phiharmonie, on the new-to-me WDR "label" (Westdeutscher Rundfunk), conducted by Semyon Bychkov. I will get into t...

I started to read the article but I honestly have difficulties. I know Mark Anstendig – we met on-line a few years back in old Mahler forum. We had some correspondence between us for a while and then Mark started annoy me. Mark is former conductor. I...

I’d like to pick up on one thing the visitor noted. He said Macondo was able to “dissect” the most “complex and dramatic” Bruckner. To me, this is a stunning achievement. In my humble attempts at resolving the most complex passages, all successs has ...

Hi Bud,Thanks for the pointers; I already have a pair of vertically sectioned cores wound from a while back, on white nylon (ugh?!) . Not remotely optimal, but if the concept works I will definitely have to try something along your lines. The tip reg...

Sakuma's idiosyncratic and esoteric way of thinking (he believes for example that tubes have a "soul") is not to everyone's liking. He is projecting his mind into a sort of tone control. At least for him this tone control brings him nearer to th...

I hate when I'm listening to think of the composers, or performers themselves, in cases where their personal lives or politics were (are) vulgar, or even abhorant. Plenty of examples, unfortunately. As for Brahms, we have discussed here that not all...

Clark demanded that I, too, concentrate on Bruckner.At first listen I thought it was lacking in that frenzied intelligence of Mahler - too simple. With time I see how idiotic that impression was and my listening to Mahler is almost nil where Bruckne...

interpretations (something that any VERY good playback should do to a system
owner) and referred you to the Barbirolli’s Mahler of cause I mean the exquisite performance of 1967 of S...

Below is the text from Slovens Website that presumably knows Anton Nanut. According to them Mr. Nanut did record the Beethoven Nineth. Interesting is that Nanut also record Dvorak’s last symphonies, Jerry, are they interesting in Slovenian rendering?...

I remember when hearing Mahlers 2nd. for the first time.
It was Bernsteins recording with LSO from 1974 (?)
Liner notes from Bruno Walter.
Anyways I was floored.
I got the record in a used record store, and it was very noisy, unfortunately.

I see thanks. I do not know how who Simon & Garfunkel are but a search indicates that it is by Daniel Alomía Robles written in 1913 and based on traditional Andean folk tunes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_C%C3%B3ndor_Pasa_(song)Very cool melod...

I know, I know, rowuk. I was teasing you with your trumpetness,
trust me it was playful. The reality is that I do not feel that it all about Strawinskys
trumpet vs. Bruckner trumpet or about Antol Dorati's trumpets vs. Guntar
Wand trumpets. With t...

My local “Borders” in Downtown Crossing always has some interesting music. I have no idea why but they have it all but if I stop by in their small classical section I always fish something “kinky”. Today I pulled of from there a few CDs and among th...

I'm way out of my depth here, I think I know what you mean Romy; my own feeling about Mahler is that just when he's developing what could be the most haunting melody or lyrical phrase he gets bored with it and goes off on a tangent. Not always, of co...

Last night it was a surreal experience, sort of QSound–type experience. I still do not know here will be the exact location of my listening chair, it is debating with 2 feet, and because of this I did not bother to lock the Macondo’s channels in tim...

Romy,
When you say no good sounding Bruckner LPs do you mean no "great" sounding, or that all Bruckner LPs sonics are average or worse?
It would help if you gave an example of late 19th C Romantic music on LP that you did con...
