Thanks for the warm welcome, Karl.  I don't mean to put you on the spot immediately but I notice that you play clarinet.  What is your opinion of Sabine Meyer as a clarinetist?  I bought this CD recently but my general unfamiliarity with the works and the instrument precluded me from making any judgment.


Hey, Stuart - It's me, Jay. Welcome.

I just got Simon Rattle's Mahler 8 after reading a great review of it (can't remember where). This is only my second listen.

She's perhaps not a traditional beauty, but Mullova is beauty nonetheless, eh Stuart!

'I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth.' ~ Emily Bronte

Mullova is a wonderful violinist.  Modern violin can sound good too, though many of us have been brain-washed into believing only period instruments sound good.  Before the period instrument movement took off, there were Arthur Grumiaux and Henryk Szeryng, who were outstanding violinists.

I haven't heard much of her work. I was referring to her physical attributes.  ;D

Hi all, another friend of George's, and refugee from the apparently now defunct Hoffman Classical Corner here.  I don't listen to much radio normally, but I heard the start of this in the car and liked it so much I had to continue listening via the internet at home:

Dvořák Symphony No 9
Cleveland Orchestra
Franz-Welser Möst, conductor

A brand new recording from what the announcer described as this "veteran" orchestra.

5-String

I agree about Mullova, but it seems reasonable to me that folks would use their own ears in deciding whether modern or period instruments sound good.

By the way, I created a thread over a year and a half ago to honor Richter.

Now it's 16 pages and growing:
