Gustav Mahler and Related Discussions / Re: Dave Hurwitz likes the Bychkov M1 - who knew!

Erik, thanks for the clarification.  I,too, love the sound of that trilling horn, and M1 performances that minimise it are always a bit of a disappointment to me.  I guess I need to seek out the Fischer/Budapest recording.

Ivan Fischer, if my memory serves. Sorry for not clarifying. It’s pretty crazy that within a span of 10 years we had three recordings of the First by someone named Fischer.

"The horns also do a raucous trill near the end of the first movement — one of Mahler’s funniest moments I think — and it’s very restrained under Bychkov as already pointed out by Chris. To be fair, in the score it’s only the fourth horn part, and the rest are doing something else. But I love hearing it the way we do on Honeck, Levi, and Fischer."


Which Fischer?  Ivan, Adam, or Thierry?

I discovered something very strange on this recording just now. At timestamp 13:15 in the finale, you can faintly hear the blipping of cellular interference in the right channel.

It reminds me of the sound of the pager going off at the start of the MTT / SFSO M5.

Bychkov's CPO M9th will be really good too based on what I heard on YouTube.

They've had so much recent history with the 7th, it would be difficult for them to get off-track. I'm looking forward to M7, M6 and - eventually - M3 and M8. Hopefully Pentatone will box the whole cycle. Although, we're a long ways from that yet.

We can expect an excellent recording of M7th by Bychkov/CPO which I believe will be the next release in their ongoing Mahler cycle.

Santtu-Matias Rouvali/PO Mahler 2nd just came out.

It is essentially a young person's take on the symphony: fast, dramatic, raw, wild, and volatile.

I quite like it.

It does sound better; the percussion is less recessed. Thanks!

FYI, the broadcast can be played back with only the Mahler, here (in slightly improved audio quality) https://www.nporadio4.nl/concerten/cc9f433e-cb8b-4b48-9c06-f71a9db10d69/concertgebouworkest-speelt-mahlers-symfonie-nr-3
