Gustav Mahler and Related Discussions / Re: Has the Bychkov/CPO Mahler cycle stagnated?
« Last post by barryguerrero on April 04, 2024, 06:19:41 PM »I received a reply from Pentatone's Kasper van Kooten. He said that the Czech Phil. wants to dedicate 2024 to Czech music, and they will definitely resume the Bychkov Mahler cycle in 2025. I find that very strange. There already exists billions of recordings of Czech music with the C.P.O. However, the Supraphon ones have all but disappeared. Maybe that's what really bothers them, since they are in proximity of Supraphon. Regardless, why would they have an issue with releasing their already 'in the can' Mahler recordings within the same year as the Czech stuff? . . . . I'm guessing there's probably another factor that Mr. van Kooten is keeping close to his vest. If I had to venture a guess, I'll bet he wants get the Payare Mahler cycle - if it is one! - established in 2024. Regardless, the result is the same. We will see futher Bychkov/C.P.O. Mahler in 2025.
Record labels are so strange. It's often times a matter of money and sponsorship, and they NEVER share any of that info. They act like what they're doing is a matter of national security.
