I do hope you spend more time with the 5th. It's certainly a masterwork IMHO.

Yeah, everything I've read about it suggests it's something that deserves the time taken to get into.
My favourite words in classical: "Molto vivace"

Yes, I'm shallow.

Thanks to Scots John, who pointed out this recording. Listening to Midvinter now.

Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

It really should be called the incomplete string quartets since there after 4 years are only 2 volumes available and presumably still 3 to go. At this rate the series will be complete somewhere after 2020.
