MAHLER           Symphony No. 3

I have assumed that they'll be doing the same works in Cleveland around that time, but digging through their website I couldn't find any mention of their plans for the 2012/3 season in Cleveland.

The Cleveland's 2012/13 season was announced this week. The opening concert will be the Mahler Third, Sep 20 & 22. I'm planning on camping out at my mother's for nine months    It looks to be a great season, my kind of season:

Mahler 1 - Dohnányi
Mahler 3 - Welser-Möst
Mahler 7 - Boulez
Shostakovich 10 - Welser-Möst
Shostakovich VC1 - Zimmerman/Welser-Möst
Tchaikovsky PC2 - Ohlsson/Welser-Möst
Nielsen 3 -Blomstedt 
Beethoven 7 - Blomstedt
Prokofiev Alexander Nevsky - Steinberg
Bartok Dance Suite - Welser-Möst
Prokofiev 6 - Noseda
Handel Te Deum - Koopman
Haydn 45 - Koopman
Mozart PCs 17 & 25 - Uchida
Dvorak 6 - Welser-Möst

Hmm... just back from an M3 last night. (Fischer Ivan, Munich Phil.) One of the less disappointing M3rds I've heard in a while... very possibly the best second movement I've heard. But the finale always sets such impossibly high expectations, that it is hard not to be let down.

Funny. The opening concert of the Orlando Phil will also be Mahler's 3rd, on Sep.29.

Dip Your Ears, No. 115 (Manfred Honeck and Mahler)

I have the four that have been released so far (1, 3, 4, 5). The only disappointment was 5 (but that symphony is always hard to please me). I agree with you about 1, and 4 too was similarly impressive.

Okay, which of you wise guys rewrote the Wikipedia page for Mahler's Tenth? Not funny! I mean... it is funny... okay it's really funny.

EDIT: Wow, the page has already been restored. Wikipedia is REALLY good at stopping vandalism. Here's the "reinterpreted" version.

I didn't think it was funny.

He dedicated his 69th symphony to Alma?

Giggity.

Wow, I need to move to Cleveland. 10 pieces in there I would easily pay good money to see live.

Nostalgia! It was the Cleveland Orchestra who played the Shostakovich Tenth, first ever I heard it.

Mein Gott what an extraordinary schedule, and what great artists coming in, too. I want to see all those things, except possibly Christoph D.'s Mahler 1; he really let me down in London with "same old, same old" interpretations of Schubert, Mozart, and Beethoven. Also... can't help thinking that's William Steinberg coming in for Nevsky.

I'm really excited to announce this but I'm digging Mahler's music a lot right now. I know I'll need to spend a lot more time with the music, because it has been so long since I've had a 'Mahler phase,' but I plan on making his music one of my top priorities right now. The reason being is because I think he was one of the most important and innovative composers of the late 19th/early 20th Century. His influence is heard in so many other composers and it just seems like people can't get enough of his music these days with conductors churning out one recording after another. His music is pretty much standard repertoire now it seems. I'm revisiting M7 right now and it's certainly as good, if not better, than I remembered. Beautiful, powerful music.

Really glad to hear this, John! I look forward to hearing about your Mahler journey! Keep us posted!

I'm listening to the 3rd right now with Haitink and the RCO. Very good! This first movement is like one huge symphonic poem. Wunderbar!!!

Edit: Checkout my new avatar, Daniel. Cool, huh? Mahler with a moustache.

Oh, certainly, the first movement is absolutely amazing! Glad to hear you are enjoying it, John!

I really am. My Dad was surprised when he heard I wanted to add all of that Mahler on one of my iPods. His exact words were "Really? You must be delirious?" What he didn't know, or shall I say remember, is that I had a Mahler phase several years ago.

[Mirror Image]

Just for clarification, here's what I put on my iPod:

Hatink set
Kubelik set
Boulez recordings
Rattle set
Bertini set
Chailly set
Tennstedt set
Abbado set
Solti set

Sets I didn't put on (yet): Inbal (Brilliant Classics), Gielen (Hanssler), Bernstein (Sony, DG), Zinman (RCA), Levine (partial set), Maazel (Sony), Neumann (Supraphon), Svetlanov (Warner), Sinopoli (DG)

My Dad also owns a ton of individual recordings, which most of them he hasn't ripped to iTunes yet, so there's a lot there to choose from as well.
