Forthcoming & new releases

[GL]

I have just read about this on the board:

http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/product/detail/3808224

and I think it will be very interesting.

Since I liked very much his First, probably I will like this Fourth too:

(Currently, Honeck is touring Europe with this Symphony)

During an interview, Inbal spoke about a new cycle with the Czech Philahrmonic to be put on disc. So, I find a little strange that he continues recording with the Tokio Metropolitan Orchestra (Bertini's former band): here we have a Fourth:

Although the bands involved are not of first rank, I am still intrigued by these two records:

http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/product/detail/3801040

http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/product/detail/3799717

because these are very good conductors that performed Mahler when Mahler had not yet become fashionable.

I have just ordered a copy of this live recording by Amazon.co.uk:

A "new" M2 with Klemperer has been unearthed:

Let's hope it will be a Resurrection resurrected and not simply another unearthed corpse.

This is not new either:

but it's not a corpse! Highly recommended!!!

Dulcis in fundo, the saddest news: as far as I know, there will be not a complete cycle with Ivan Fischer and his Budapest Festival Orchestra. Last year I enquired about this and about a Fith in particular and the guys at Channel Classics replied that they "have spoken about recording 1,3,and indeed 5 at some point in the future", but not a complete cycle. A cycle with technical and artistic standards experienced in M2, 4 and 6 would have been the major Mahler recording project of our time. I really hope they will change their mind.

Also, Fischer said in an interview about the Eighth: "This very complicated, complex, monumental work is not [my] cup of tea", so there cannot be a complete cycle in any case.

So he seems to be in the club with Haitink, even if Haitink recorded the piece.

Fischer and his orchestra will perform M7th in Korea this fall.

John,

With all these upcoming releases, maybe we can stop talking about recent Mahler 9 recordings for five minutes. Sheeesh  .  .   enough already.

[mahler09]

I'm with Barry on that one.  I do love Mahler 9 but it would be good to get a new discussion started as well.

[Leo K]

But I only collect M9's these days.  Guess I'll have to stay off the board for awhile.

We can keep that conversation going too!  Just starting something new as well couldn't hurt.

[barry guerrero]

yeah Todd, no hurt feelings intended. Tell you what, get the EMI complete Mahler edition box coming in June, and then we'll really have something to talk about. It's actually going to be very reasonably priced!

Thats cool Barry... and this box sounds great...better then the DG box!

Abbado's 1st from Lucerne 2009 has been announced and is set to be released in a couple of months (DVD Euroarts).

John,

But last time I checked, they axed the Mahler and replaced it with Brahms or something.
I better make sure...

Stenz's Fourth (another Fourth!):

http://www.amazon.de/Sinfonie-4-Stenz/dp/B003NEQAEA/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1276105852&sr=1-9

Jarvi's (Neeme) Seventh:

http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/product/detail/3846885 (I would have prefer it had been with his former Scottish Orchestra)

A Fifth with Feltz:

This Feltz has just recorded the Sixth and the Seventh. My instict suggests to stay aloof-does anybody know something about this conductor and his Mahler recordings?

Finally...Zinman's 9th is on the way.  I hope it improves on the broadcast I heard from Aspen some time ago...which is a fantastic account of the 9th.  I know Jon Kim eagerly awaits Zinman's commercial recording as well.

Yep. But I was surprised Zinman's new recording will be available so soon after his 8th .
