Yes, but... what about the typo in Mahler's name???

My copy hasn't got the typo.

Do you think I can get my money back?

Ahhh, that's great! Sorry I didn't notice that before.

Just picked up a long-sought copy of M7 with Rosbaud.

The UK Saga Records cover is a favourite of mine,perhaps because it was the first Mahler symphony I heard complete - can't remember,it's more than 40 years ago - and certainly my first hearing of M7.

perhaps someone can get the cover online. It's moody,a black-and-white Caspar David Friedrich as it were,with a light sky top left half,dark woods borrom right. (Friedrich was a Romantic, painting vast landscapes and tiny figures [often],tho' there are no people in the photo.)

Wonderful.

PS. Shame there's no "sigh" smiley.

I like how St. Anthony is preaching to a land shark on Zinman's M2

Last time I looked at this thread, there was a tremendous photo of a player about to play on of the hammer-blows in the 6th.

It's gone !!

O.K. Who was it? Where is it?

Thanks Leo.
I have been struggling to remember how to post an image, but I think I have done it correctly.

My favourites from current CDs have been the Zinman issues on RCA. I like the consistency of style across the whole series and I find the artwork very classy.
And no Zinman adorning the fronts

The Zinman M9 cover is my new favorite, and so is Nott's cover to his M9 recording. Covers can sometimes influence how I hear the recording too!
