Title: New Mahler 10th Wigglesworth Melbourne
Post by: Nathaniel on April 14, 2011, 09:42:29 PM
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.
