What Classical Music Are You listening to Now? III

[pastoralguy]

Brahms. Violin concerto

Itzhak Perlman, Violin

Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Carlo Maria Guilini

[Petrushka]

Mahler
Symphony No. 5
Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks/Mariss Jansons
Recorded live 2016 Philharmonie im Gasteig, Munich
New release on BR Klassik

I have a BR Klassik CD issue of the BRSO and Jansons in Mahler 5 recorded in Mach 2006. I'm assuming, then, that this one you mention is a completely new recording? I got my copy from Amazon de and think it was made available to concert subscribers only. It is very good indeed in outstanding sound so I'm interested in why Jansons wanted to record it again? Could hardly think the 2006 performance was open to more improvement, to be honest.

Berlioz: Overture - Benvenuto Cellini
Franck: Les Eolides
Saint-Saens: Piano Concerto No 4*
Debussy: La Mer

Robert Casadesus (piano)*
Concertgebouw Orchestra, Amsterdam
Pierre Monteux

Given in the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam, on October 12 1939

This is an almost complete concert (the missing item is Dukas' The Sorcerer's Apprentice which ended the evening). The sound on these early CDs from the RCO125 set is surprisingly good and not much tolerance is called for in those I've heard so far.

What label?

[Bryn]

What label?

RCO Radio Legacy. Either Vol 1or the RCO 125 boxed set.

It's an extremely good Mahler 5 by Jansons and his Bavarian players recorded in March 2016 at Philharmonie, Munich. Although I have acquired most BR Klassik recordings I don't have the Mahler 5 you mention from March 2006 also at Philharmonie. I can only think the new release is is considered a superior account and or with improved sound quality. I could find out definitively but it would mean drawing in a favour and in truth I'm delighted with the new 2016 recording.

I have too say my first choice account of Mahler 5 is the live 1981 Herkulessaal, Munich recording from Rafael Kubelik and the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks on Audite.

Or possibly not quite - instead, a woman walked to the stage whilst Schuricht was conducting, said "Deutscheland uber alles, Herr Schuricht" to the conductor and then walked off. The concert (on 5th October) was broadcast, so her comment was heard more clearly on the radio than by the people in the Hall, and the recording comes from this broadcast.

I just listened to the "Deutschland " moment on Spotify. It is separately tracked.
Now listening to Schuricht in Mozart's Requiem, 1962 recording

Rafael Kubelik Stan? Goodness!

See #1024. The recordings are to be found in both sets, the latter containing all the previously issued volumes (including the individual conductor volumes issued up to the time of its release). Items from these sets often turn up on TtN so you might just be lucky enough to eventually catch them there.

Something you do not get in the 125 boxes is the DVDs included in some of the original volumes.

Thank you Bryn.
Just played this month's BBCMMCD issue. Sibelius's Kullevo. Rather a good performance and recording, I thought. Rather difficult making out who the artists are. The print is so small! Even with my magnifying sheet!

Look at page 7 in the magazine, Bbm; should be easier for you to read/magnify.
(Haven't got round to listening to this yet; reading while the rain pours down outside so not really wanting to listen to singing too!)

Well, this music bears careful consideration so, as the splinters are being removed from my ...., so it's becoming more comfortable. (But not TOO comfortable!)
