Hiya Maestro,

Is that not the Concertgebouw playing Mahler 4?

[gurnemanz]

I'm reading Elizabeth Wilson's Shostakovich, A Life Remembered, as recommended elsewhere on this board and enjoying playing the works as I go along, thereby getting a lot more out of both the reading and the listening. Just got up to the Fifth Quartet which he described as "very important to him" and Pushkin Monologues for bass and piano.

Thanks, Stan, yes it is the RCO!

- only slightly better in the version led by Kuijken

Me:

Wagner: Gotterdammerung Act One; Sawallisch & chums.

Elgar: Symphony #2 in Eb; BBCSO/Boult (1944 recording - Boult's best version of this great work, I think.)

Mine is from the 170 CD brilliant Classics Mozart box.

Poulenc . Gloria.

Pretre et al.

never know what to make of this, other than I do enjoy it, somehow.

What's not to enjoy?
Though sectional, I find it much more coherent than the Stabat Mater, which I don't really know what to make of.
And I hope you've got the coupling with Duruflé playing the organ concerto!

I have indeed got the Durufle coupling. And thanks for asking...all in the Erato big box.

Right, back to the Stabat Mater, which was going rather well, before it got interrupted by this, and Martin Bests medieval chaps.
