Pittsburgh Symphony cancelled February Mahler 8th concerts.

(1/1)

John Kim:
I didn't know that Pittsburgh Symphony cancelled the Mahler Eighth concert that was slated to happen in February, 2021.
I bet Reference Recording was planning to record it live.

What a missed opportunity!

I don't see a listing of what the projected cast was supposed to be. In addition to just dealing with Covid, many vocalists find it very difficult to travel at this time.

barryguerrero:
John, given that R.R. issued the live T. Fischer/Utah S.O. Mahler 8 about 16 months ago, my guess is that R.R. wouldn't have issued this Mahler 8 as well - especially since we know that Honeck's more expansive approach to late romantic rep. tends to be on the broad side, thus the necessity for issuing a double disc set.
