Mahler 10 Refusniks

[smittims]

Chailly's 1986 recording with the RSO Berlin was included in the 'People's Edition' of the ten symphonies from DG. I;m glad I snapped it up while it was available as it has some interesting recordings, such as Mehta's very dramatic second with the Vienna Philharmonic, and Giulini's thoughful ninth from Chicago. It may be found in second-hand shops , some of which have table-fulls of CDs (Henry Bohn Books in Liverpool for instance).

That sounds like an interesting Mahler collection. Do you remember the others?

... I think this is the box set to which smittims was referring -

Anyone any opinions on Yoel Gamzou's completion, recorded on Wergo? I tried to listen recently but wasn't in the mood.

No - not that one. DG organised a "people's vote" in 2010/11 of which performances in the Universal catalogue should be included in a box of the symphonies, including a performing edition of the 10th. The box duly appeared with the names of all the voters printed in the accompanying booklet. Never slow to miss a sales/marketing opportunity, DG invited we voters to buy a copy of the box for what I remember as not a lot of money. So I acquired probably my fifth copy of Lenny's Mahler 5 in the process. The Mehta 'Resurrection' is, as Smittims suggests, very fine.

Just read Richard's question: 1st - Kubelik; 2nd - Mehta; 3rd - Abbado (Berlin Phil - live); 4th - Karajan; 5th - Bernstein; 6th - Bernstein; 7th - Abbado (Berlin Phil - live); 8th - Solti; 9th - Giulini; 10th - Chailly.

(I have the 'non-people's' one as in my # 123 above : I assume it's the same Mehta Resurrection... )

That's the one, Dougie. Good luck to anyone looking for it second-hand.

I was in Henry Bohn this mornng and he still has stack and stacks of CDs spilling over several tables. Strongly recommended : up the side of the Empire Theatre near the back entrance to Lime St.Station.

The Mehta 'Resurrection' is indeed very fine and doesn't get the attention it deserves. I remember buying the 2LP set in Manchester in June 1977 using some birthday money. The cover art is a splendid reproduction of a detail (Christ, the Virgin and Saints) from Tintoretto's 'Il Paradiso'.

Indeed - the Mehta is the same recording. I'd forgotten about that box which contains, to my mind, a more interesting choice of recordings.
