Title: Abbado MahlerFest 1995 live with BPO (on RCO) -- availability question
Post by: Polarius T on January 10, 2008, 10:11:11 PM

Sorry if I'm posting this in a wrong place (just registered).

I've been searching far & wide for the above issue, all my efforts having come to naught. I couldn't even find info on it on the Netherlands Radio website (which administers the live recordings series in which this was issued, too, AFAIK).

Anyone in the know of where it might be available, or where to look? I think at least two of the regulars here have kept referring to it at several occasions, and my interest is really piqued, the long-time devotee to both Mahler, this workm and Abbado as I am.

Thanks much if you can help.

This live recording is included in the expensive, hard-to-find 1995 Mahlerfest set that is occasionally for sale on ebay. There have been several bootlegs of this concert floating around. You should be able to get it if you poke around enough ;D

John,

Thanks for the heads-up; that also solves the mystery of why there was nothing about these recordings available online: my dumb bad with the search word ("mahler feest" with two e's and two words... Should have been able to infer that in NL they still speak Dutch). I'll certainly go for it. Now all your thumbs up, too, pls! T.

I was not aware of that box set.  Would love to get it.  Now, I just need the money...
