'Revelge' is maybe my favorite Wunderhorn song (as it was one of Mahler's) and the tenor is my favorite voice, and here they are, for the first time that I know of, combined into one, and in a magnificent way: brash and energetic, but with sumptuousness of tone and at the same time also mellifluous ...
+ Nature in all its splendour + Lyrical-dramatic Mahler Third Symphony in exquisite sound + The Best Recording of Mahler Three Yet! + Extremely powerful playing...
Mahler's Symphony of a Thousand: An Introduction by Jascha Horenstein
+ It's the great ENDING that makes this recording + Divine + A performance by divine providence + Classic BBC Legacy Blumlein Recording: The Best Mahler 8th?
Bravo again and again to the LSO for pulling through with this charlatan of a "conductor!" Those who argue that Kaplan performs this symphony with utmost fidelity to the score have no clue what the score looks like or any knowledge regarding late 19th century (or even modern!) orchestral ...
Hampson's special way with Mahler....you WILL believe.
+ Mahler: Lieder Eines Fahrenden Gesellen; Kindertotenlieder;Ruckert-Lieder; Thomas Hampson, Baritone + One of the Greatest Mahler Lieder Recitals + On The Kindertotenlieder Performance + Grieving
This recording of Das Klagende Lied is one the finest available. The conducting by Tilson Thomas has good insight and honest emotion...the former quality lacking in many of his performances. Thomas has the San Francisco ensemble in fine form. The orchestra sounds very good, though at times one ...
For the longest time, Daniel Barenboim was hesistant to conduct the music of Gustav Mahler due to his aversion to the brand of faux folkish sentimentality that sometimes characterizes many of the composer's symphonies. It would take a trip to Vienna and an epiphany drawn from seeing Mahler's ...
+ Among the Best Versions of Mahler's 5th Symphony + INCREDIBLE!!!
This recording enters a catalog full of great performances. But I can't imagine a better performance than the one presented on this disc. The first movement begins with an unaccompanied trumpet solo. As far as notes and rhythms are concerned, the solo is not difficult. But the fact that this is ...
+ Immaculate Recording + Definitive Mahler 2nd Symphony from Kaplan, VPO, etc.
As an obsessive Mahler addict, I've heard and examined and blissed out over every possible recording ever made of his work, and I want to say, without going into the wonderful details already pointed out by your learned aficionados, that Kaplan has done it. There are so many great versions of the ...
