Gustav Mahler and Related Discussions / Re: M7 with G. Noseda/Nat'l Symphony of D.C. coming on in-house label, samples incl.

Two other Mahler 7 recordings just came out too: there's Jaap van Zweden conducting the Seoul Philharmonic which is being described on Presto as a continuation of a cycle, and I'm seeing a new one on Apple Music from Andrea Battistoni conducting the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra. I don't see the latter listing on Presto yet, and I'm not sure if it's on Spotify.

It's up on Spotify. I'm listening to the finale now - so far, so good.

What a surprise! As of today, the whole recording is up on Apple Music. I'm not sure about other platforms, I haven't checked yet. I'll give it a listen sometime today.

Yeah, I don't think his Italian based recordings of M2 or M9 are going to light a fire under anyone but locals (as a souvenir). On the other hand, the M7 and M10/Cooke III (Chandos) that he did in Manchester are really quite good. I like that M10 quite a bit. It'll be interesting to here this on Spotify. I believe he has an M8 scheduled for D.C., so maybe they'll make a recording of that.

These do sound pretty good. I like some of Noseda's previous Shostakovich recordings with the LSO, and I've been wanting to hear him do more Mahler. He conducted the 2nd at Verbier Festival ― I think it was ― a few years ago and it was not good; the overall timing was about 71 minutes, putting even Kubelik's quick tempi to shame. I caught the performance on a live stream.

Wow, the start of the finale sounds promising. Noseda recorded M7 with the BBC Phil. from Manchester's Bridgewater Hall. It came with an edition of the BBC Magazine, and it's really good.

Lazy, or just parochial?    .   .   .  .  "lazy" is generally not a thought associated with the Japanese by us gringos.

The Japanese recording companies are lazy in putting their products on streaming or as downloadable files. I have seldom encountered them online unless they are pretty old. For example, you can find Kobayashi's Mahler on Spotify (and YouTube).

Nott has recorded M1, M5, M6, and M10 Adagio in Tokyo. I highly doubt they will be available as files anytime soon.

So what is the point?   .   .   .  Exton makes a new recording of Mahler 6 with Jonathan Nott, but they don't make it available to streaming services. You have to buy a hard copy (CD) and they charge an absolute arm and leg for it. Buying a copy through Amazon will cost you $90. I just don't get it. With tariffs added on to everything these days, why not make it available as a download?
