You know, some people will really resent me for this, but when I play Mahler I play the 9th, the Abbado Dvd or the classic Karajan.

The other symphonies are obviously brilliant, but that 9th....Transcendent, Mystical,Profoundly Moving...feel free to jump in here.

Mahler's 9th is my second favorite work of his, after his 2nd, so no resentment here.  But having listened to Bernstein's 1987 recording of Mahler's 2nd this morning, I'm once again convinced that a good recording of this work is a listening experience not to be missed.  :)

Why would someone resent you for listening to music.  ???

Can a case be made for listening to music?  8)

Indeed. For example, if I didn't listen to music, I might throttle certain people.  0:)

Oh JA! Bernstein's Mahler as a general, gotta-have rule.

I'd say this makes a great case.

Ditto! I tend to go by that tenet myself, of late, so it took me a while to add my comment here. But of course, it's always good to see you back. :)
