I would definately second the Bertini Mahler set, wonderful strings.

And Gielen is one of my favourite cycles.  Now this one I did buy in the box set, but lost out on all the excellent fillers which came with the Gielen individual cd issues.  When I say fillers, I mean excellent accompanying works to fill the discs, not the run of the mill stuff.

There simply is too much Mahler out there.  ;D

Today for the last time this beautiful CD of which I wrote already in detail on 20-4-2012. I urge ya all to try it. Its one of my highlights of this year!



Couldn't resist this one Harry.  Will let you know the verdict after it arrives and has been digested.

If anyone wants this, then UK Amazon (MP/Sellers) have them, it should be in the Super Duper thread!  WeSell have 3 copies left @ £1.98...BellaLuna have 10 copies left @ £1.99  ;D

I'll get back to Nielsen later today (I've been in a Danish mood lately  8) ) but first John Williams Suite to Born on the Fourth of July (very beautiful main theme).

Cruise's greatest performance, and one of Oliver Stone's best films even though I don't wholly agree with his anti-war sentiments (my Vietnam experiences were very different from Stone's). An effective and, as I said, beautiful score by Williams.

Much as yourself, Sarge: if I had only one cycle, and that cycle the one of which I think the least, I should completely love the entire Nielsen symphony cycle, all the same.

What do you think of Born to Kill, Sarge? I think it's a movie very well done, but apparently not coincident with the personal experiences of many people (particularly the first half, regarding the training period).
