Don't know if this is still in print, Inbal doing Mahler in the 80's on the Denon Label. And then it was issued in the print in the picture above. Anyway, I had a showdown here a long time ago about the merits of Inbal as a conductor. I don't know why this set isn't so well positioned in the World of great Mahler cylcles. Inbals Mahler is almost narrative-like to me, a story is being told, and I can either get with it or put Bernstein on. I always get with it - Inbal is the Agatha Chrisite of Conductors, he will lure you in until you can't get out, you've got to keep going until the end.

Quote from: Karl Henning on April 27, 2024, 01:48:17 PMMartin Balsam is a highly experienced TV writer who is afraid that he just keeps recycling ideas and has no more original notions, and who finds himself plagued by the titular mps. Balsam's character's name is Rockne O'Bannon, who is both the author of the screenplay and Story Consultant for the series. Ellison's commentary on "Gramma" is highly illuming. Ellison co-directed the show with series D.P. Bradford May. Wm Friedkin was originally going to direct, and it was at Friedkin's request that a special (and expensive) crane was rented for the show. The titular character (bed-bound) was played by a male actor with some prosthetics, and voiced by Piper Laurie, except for screams, which she did not do to Ellison's satisfaction, so he did them himself, after treating his vocal chords with Brie and half and half. Ellison reports that Stephen King thought well of the adaptation.Something else I learnt from Ellison's commentary: the principal actor in "Gramma" is Barret Oliver, whom I've now at last seen in The Never-Ending Story.
Quote from: vandermolen on Today at 12:58:30 AMNot that I'm aware of although I really like his pioneering recording of 'Ivan the Terrible' with its great cover picture!
(CD and double LP set below). Unlike many I rather like the melodramatic narration.
Quote from: Lisztianwagner on Today at 01:57:40 PMHe seems so, what a pity; today I've listened to his Piano Sonata, quite sharp and hectic, but extremely enchanting. His piano works are certainly worth exploring, I hope you'll find some time to check them out sooner or later, Cesar.
