It's all a moot point now, as Grooves-Land (wherever they are) has just dispatched my copy in the mail. I'll find out soon enough. I heard the whole thing once somewhere, but couldn't find it again. I'd like to collect more of the Macal/C.P.O. series (not quite a full cycle).

Barry

I do have the Macal/CPO/Exton M3rd. What are your questions? You have the recording too, don't you?

Sorry John, I'm asking about the Zdenek Macal/C.P.O. M3 on Exton. I'm hopeful that Bychkov's new one won't be as expansive (slow) overall as is earlier Cologne one was.

The following link lists it as available as of March 7, 2025. But it doesn't show timings.

Only a couple of movements from the Macal/C.P.O. M3 can be heard at Spotify and on Youtube. If any of you own a copy, or have listened all the way through it, how is the big brass chorale towards the end of the finale?   .   .   .  Is it intense, or it just sort of gossamer and pretty?   .  .  .    .   Groove Lands is selling their remaining copies for less than $12. Is it worth my buying a copy?   .   .    .   .   I'm a big fan of the Kobayashi/C.P.O. M3, but that one has completely disappeared. I only have a 'burnt' CD copy of it.

I have my hard copy already. Good program notes! The performance is fine. I would have liked the first two movements to have been one minute longer each (slower), but the last three movements are right on point   .   .   .  it could use a tad more stretching at the peroration in the finale as well.

I'm able to stream the full recording from Apple Music now. It appears to be all up on Spotify as well.

I believe the recording is purchase-able on Presto for download now too. CD release comes next week.

Gustav Mahler and Related Discussions / Anyone seen timings for Bychkov/C.P.O./Pentatone M3 yet?

« Last post by barryguerrero on January 16, 2025, 10:26:03 PM »

Hi. I'm hoping the upcoming Bychkov/C.P.O. M3 won't be quite as expansive (long) as his earlier Cologne Radio S.O. one was (Avie). That was a good performance and a nice sounding recording, but also a tad 'granitic' in feel. If somebody comes across the timings for the new one, please post them.

I'm afraid to hear it in context. Thanks though.
