I just had a once in my life experience: The Klemperer Mahler 7.
I love music. Sadly, I'm an audiophile too.

I think that you should continue to Czech out his music [Sound of woman running away].  :)

Maybe one of his piano concertos with Firkusny?

Quote from: vandermolen on November 05, 2024, 04:04:34 AMShostakovich apparently greatly admired Prokofiev's 7th Symphony

Yes indeed. You may already be familiar with it, but here's what DSCH wote in a note to Prokofiev.

QuoteDmitri Shostakovich attended the premiere, and quickly sent a letter of congratulations to Prokofiev, "I wish you at least another hundred years to live and create. Listening to such works as your Seventh Symphony makes it much easier and more joyful to live."

It has been too long since I visited Schoenberg's Variations for Orchestra!

No, I was not familiar with that - thanks.
There is a 'Toy-shop at Night' similarity between parts of Prokofiev's 7th Symphony and Shostakovich's 15th symphony.

You probably mean the Walton recording right? If so, I am happy to hear you like it too.
