That's one of my favorite M5s...sometimes I think my very favorite. An icy, razor sharp, first movement but with the most colossal and prolonged chorale climax in the second.

One of the perks of being retired. I have nothing else to do but listen to music 8)

Sarge

Lucky you! ;) As soon as I get out of school, I am looking forward to spending a whole life in music, 24 hours of each day! :) :)

Listening to the music of my composition mentor at the RAM:
[asin]B000BH2TZG[/asin]

Anyone know him? I imagine some of you who are fans of Robert Simpson will. Matthew conducted many of his symphonies and was the dedicatee of one I believe. Well, I am certainly enjoying his music, which is probably as eccentric as the man himself. Great to work with! :)

Have a nice day, Sarge. Maybe you'll get a chance to listen to ANOTHER Mahler symphony and make me even more jealous...

Oooo  :o, wasn't aware that Dohnanyi/Cleveland did a Mahler 5th recording, might be my cup of tea, considering they recorded some of my favorite performances of Bruckner symphonies.

They both disappoint me in the Fifth...strange that. I generally like their Mahler.

Really? Yes, it's a little strange ;) They were wonderful Mahler conductors, in my opinion both their No.5 are definitely ravishing.

I'm shocked that Sarge doesn't swoon over Bernstein's WP 5th! (I sure do.)

I certainly agree, the Bernstein is one of the most beautiful and touching performances of Mahler No.5 I've ever listened to.
