Make A Wish: another idiotic poll

[Iago]

How about some recordings that never got made, but you wish they had?

1. A Beethoven 9th from Carlos Kleiber, leading the Vienna Philharmonic. With Leontyne Price, Marilyn Horne, Ben Heppner and Dmitri Hvorotovsky.

1a. A complete Wagners "Ring" with Carlos Kleiber leading the Bayreuth Festival Orchestra. Cast to be determined.

2. A "Rite of Spring" from Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony

3. A Mahler "Resurrection" Symphony from Herbert Von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic.

4. A complete "Swan Lake" from Pierre Monteux and the London or Boston Symphony. (same for Sleeping Beauty and the Nutcracker)

5. Total silence from Erich Leinsdorf, Seiji Ozawa and Christof Eschenbach.

6. A Toscanini "Bruckner 8th" leading the New York Philharmonic

7. A Toscanini "Scheherazade" by Rimsky-Korsakov (using the Philadelphia Orchestra). Ravels composition by the same name, IMO is worthless.

Abbado doing the Atterberg symphonies would be a treat!  0:)

A late Debussy piano Concerto would be nice.

I like this thread. I chose the Bruckbner organ concerto (it would have been glorius) and the Bartok Clarinet Concerto. Karl and I also agree on a Nielsen Horn Concerto, which we've mentioned elsewhere.

For my own part, I'd love to hear a Sixth Quartet or a String Symphony from Elliott Carter (the former is still possible, the latter unlikely), and an opera from Charles Ives.

Ives considered of doing an opera on the subject of Benedict Arnold, but the libretto, written by a releative, I think, was unusable. I can't think of who would have been able to write a suitable libretto in the 1910s, when Ives was at the height of his powers.     

James Joyce.

I wish Schubert Mozart had lived to see 80.

Maybe they would have stopped writing at 50, anyway.  You never know  0:)

I wish for 1,000,000 more wishes.

I would like to hear:

Karl Henning: Symphony 10

Karl, what do you think of your "Concept cd"?  I made it just for you! 

Delighted!

Though I don't see my Tenth as a cow-pat affair 

[Harry]

A fervent wish for peace amongst men, and a loving attitude towards everyone that is of good will.

how come you can't select "Make your own wish" twice? When I click it twice, it just unchecks it. Stupid thing. Oh well. I just chose that.

I wish Mahler wrote a Requiem and Debussy wrote a piano concerto

[MishaK]

I voted for the Bartok Clarinet Concerto (great idea!) and the Debussy PC. Janacek symphony would be ncie too. What I'd like to see as well would be:

- a Brahms Horn Concerto, Clarinet Concerto and Cello Concerto (what he does with those instruments in his symphonies is just marvelous);

- a serious/tragic opera by Humperdinck;

- Mussorgsky's own orchestration of Pictures; 

- Albéniz Piano Concerto or even a Violin concerto

- a Messiaen opera cycle.
