Sharing has concluded.



Thanks for your support
& participation, it was fun!

Thanks for the share. ( will listen and hit you back)

Wow, you have a big Mahler collection.
I try your special 7th out, it takes some days to compare and comment.
Many, many thanks for this.
An adorable idea to tailor the best recordings from various CDs.
What a hard work for you.
The seventh is my favorite too, i have the same problems.
But i prefer other recordings to manage my reference.
My personal 7th must have the dramatic of Solti, the clarity of Gielen, the sound from MTT, and the strength of Klemperer.

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you share!

Do you have Sinopoli / Philharmonia 7th?

Do you have Sinopoli / Philharmonia 7th?Yes I do. Do you want just the 7th, or Sinopoli's entire Mahler album?

Yes I do. Do you want just the 7th, or Sinopoli's entire Mahler album?

I also like the Zubin Mehta's (with the Israel Philharmonic). But to the point. Music is a human act all the way from conception to inception to interpretation. But I do believe that there is more to it once the composition is finished, something that we can not grasp either because of technical difficulties, at performance, at recording....., or because we simply can not interpret Mahler's 5th movement given the level of exhaustion of the orchestra crew you mention in your comments. I think is fair to honor those men by listening at their individual and collective work, ultimatelly failing to reproduce every nuance you know can be extracted from the piece as others have. I think it is those "failures" that drives every interpreter (or conductor) to try again and again to better themselves, either their "failures" or dislikes when they compare to other conductors.

By getting side by side different interpretations (one movement from here the next from there) you are highlighting the differences wich is allways welcome as we learn from the process. By taking out part of the movement I'm learning the work of a machine with its ability to copy and paste, alter tempos and other technical stuff. I'm more fond of the human way than the machine way. That is why I continue to go for live performances.

That's why I have ca. 18 different recordings of Mahler's 7th, specifically so I can hear their various approaches, as you spoke of. There is also a 19th approach, however - mine. If I am going to "honor" the performers in those recordings by listening to their effort as it was stored for posterity, as you speak of, (and which I very much enjoy doing, just to be clear), then why not also "honor" the way that I would do it? Just because I'm not a professional conductor with an international recording contract and a world-class orchestra at my beck and call, does that make my concept of Mahler 7 any less valid than the other ca. 18?

thanks

Thanks for sharing something very personal of yours, Bob. I feel personally honored that you would share not only this music, but also your own interpretation of how it should sound.

I'll listen with an open mind.

Thank you so much for sharing your work, Bob.
I'm looking forward to listening to this.
