Gilels - The Early recordings

[Drasko]

Turns out there are two Mahler IV with Walter and Seefried: NYPO '53 and Wiener '50.
Decided to take both - with the latter comes a Bruckner IX - which seems an excellent idea, and it got a Diapason d'Or.

Interesting, didn't know that VPO '50 was released on Tahra. Previously it was only available on Urania and I don't go that way unless I don't have to (looks like I'll have to buy a Michelangeli disc as it seems to be the only offer for his Valses Nobles ).
But this is nice development, now you can tell me if it is worth checking out , especially since I'm pefrectly happy with that other one.

Yes, I avoid the likes of Urania too.

Less irresistible if one currently has 7 Bruckner 9ths in yet-unlistened-CDs pile

Not all by Bruno Walter, I hope..
So, your primary interest would be the Mahler - I'll keep that in mind.

Well if it wasn't for the Carter, I would like to sit with you and listen to this most interesting music!

Well, part of the Carter CD could be considered easy listening as the symphony is both tonal and almost conservative in style...

Forgive me my ignorance, concerning Carter. I did not know, thinking all works of him atonal.

It wasn't designated as such on the old forum.

Also: how does a thread become sticky? What is the criteria?

Perhaps because we're always 'purchasing today'?
