  • Well, l am a Mahler's lover, and l cannot stop singing and listening to his Music. l sang some lieders sometimes ago and if may be the recording is not as good as nowadays, still l shall post it. l live and die with his Music. every time l sing it.

    Joana.

  • My god, too fast, horrible.  Listen to Klemperer's performance with Christa Ludwig.

  • Do you think so ?l think that some directors have their own way of feeling the score. l like both version. l don't think that is horrible. but you might have your opinion, important is to love MAHLER-

  • Oh, Christa!

  • Bernstein is the most overrated conductor of the twentieth century. Performs only for the audience; the orchestras traditionally ignored him completely. Lousy interpreter, performances riddled with little personal exaggerations that passes for great understanding is some circles. I keep several of his Mahler recordings to demonstrate how inferior he is to pretty much everybody else.

  • @DieSonneSinkt all right. But Walter is much more rapid than Klemperer in the adagios or andante. So where is the truth ? in my opinion, here Ludwig and Bernstein are in a real osmosis, and that is the most important.

  • @jefgong If anything, Klemperer's rendition would be more faithful to what Mahler wanted, as Mahler had been Klemperer's mentor, as well as Bruno Walter's.

  • @DieSonneSinkt Is it allowed to say that Klemperer might be too slow ?

  • @DieSonneSinkt

    Thanks for sharing these treasures.

    Too much fast... too much slow... Listen to...

    Never too much beautiful or too much sensitive.

    Always the same pretentious comments of the DOCTORS IN MUSICA.

  • @joanabanyeres

    The same... the same...

  • Fata viam invenient

  • WITH LOVE II

  • No matter your thoughts about this particular performance (I happen to think it's just fine. Ludwig is flawless)

    We are all indebted to Lennie for being, in addition to one of America's greatest conductors, composers, revivers of Mahler's music, and just all around interesting man....a teacher! He was always explaining. If you haven't watched the Harvard - Norton lectures on "The Unanswered Question" you're missing something truly amazing.
