Who's The Greatest Mahlerian On GMG?

[Cato]

I wonder if he was in the audience when I heard Haitink conduct the M9 with the Cleveland at Severance in 1973.

Sarge

That is quite possible.  I know that for a while he was in South Africa as a missionary, where he caught malaria: he died of liver cancer.  I always wonder what his fellow priests, or his heirs, did with his record/CD collection!

(serious answer: Reached a complete burnout on classical music since the beginning of the year with the (relative) accumulation of CD boxsets last year that killed the enjoyment of it all. Only been dabbling back into it in the last few weeks with a couple of CD's a week. Main Pro: mind and ears refreshed and rediscovering the collection and works should make it enjoyable again.)

Big sets can be strangely demoralizing whether I listen to them or not (for different reasons).

Glad you are refreshed and back.

Glad you are refreshed and back.
