New Mahler 10th Wigglesworth Melbourne

[Nathaniel]

I wonder if anybody has had the chance to listen to this and maybe compare with Wigglesworth's old M10??

Uhmmmm...I didn't know about the new recording...but I am completely happy with his earlier go at the symphony.

John,

It's probably rather new. Folks might want to know that it's the Cooke version.

News of a Wigglesworth/Melbourne “M10” : I give it two yawns.Errr...isn’t everyone’s collection of 10ths already quite overCooked?
(My “dream” completion would have come from the pen of the great Dmitri Shostakovich.)

Thanks for the review of the recording. Can you elaborate a bit?

My “dream” completion would have come from Mahler himself (if we are allowed to wishful thinking). Seriously, I doubt that Shostakovich could have completed it in a Mahlerian way, i.e. that it would sounded more like Shostakovich than Mahler. My $0.02.
