Gustav Mahler and Related Discussions / Re: Young/SSO/DG Mahler Second released today (out of no where!)

I saw that today also. It's a live performance. I imagine DG wanted to issue you more for the first work, which appeared to be sort of 'world music' like.

Barry,
    It's a longshot, but you may wish to see if your local library can do what's called an Interlibrary Loan. There may a library that will lend it to your local branch so you can borrow it. I've borowed a LOT of stuff, even certain boxed sets that way. It's a good service.

It was released today on Idagio. I totally didn't see it coming!

Hi folks. I would like to revisit the Honeck/P.S.O. M4 on Exton. I heard it once before, and I think it must have been on Spotify or Youtube. I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know a streaming service that provides it?  .   .   .  If somebody has a computer file on it, maybe you could share that to my e-mail (?). Whatever. I would just like to hear it again. Thanks.

I agree with that, John. I know that Paavo really loves Bruckner, but I don't find his Bruckner recordings to be terribly distinguished in any way. They remind me a bit Riccado Muti's Bruckner - well played, but no real insights.

They sound fabulous and remind me a lot of a Jarvi/FRSO M5th concert I attended in Seoul, S. Korea years ago!

PS: I think Jarvi's talents and conducting style fit Mahler better than Bruckner.

Very true, Barry. It may serve certain symphonies/movements particularly well. Perhaps not M5 II since there are so many little details going on. But we’ll see!

It sounds as though the microphones are farther back than in the Zinman recordings (same concert hall). The sound is less 'bright' and transparent than they are in the Zinman cycle, but things do seem less clearly defined as well. We'll just have to wait and see. That type of sound may be great for M3, M6 and M8. We shall see (or hear, rather).
