#morninglistening to #GustavMahler's 9th Symphony w/the @nyphilharmonic under #KurtMasur. He wasn't a great Mahlerian (or anything in particular, tbh), but this is an enormously successful effort. Thrilling, gruff, finally lyrical.

#morninglistening to GustavMahler's 7th Symphony w/the BRSO & SimonRattle on BRKlassik. Fine & taut reading on first listening, with an orchestra that knows what to do.

GustavMahler's 8th Symphony, in DavidZinman's @tonhalle recording (RCA/Sony). A highpoint of his cycle; a very fine, intuitive 8th w/ suited singers amid a sea of misunderstandings when it comes to this work.

I awoke from a #dream four years ago in which I quoted three words ("Ei du~! Gelt?") from "Ging heut Morgen über's Feld," the 2nd #song from #GustavMahler's "Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen"; here it is sung by the great Hermann Prey:

#morninglistening to GustavMahler's 2nd, Resurrection Symphony from the LorinMaazel/ViennaPhil cycle on Sony. I'm sure that cycle, always the fab 4th apart, was never so bad as its critics had it. But it's also surely not a good as the participants should have wanted it to be.
