ReplyDeleteVery beautiful!.
ReplyDeleteVery nice blog.
if you pretend this to be exceptional Mahler, i disagree. i have attended this concert and wasn't impressed with Norrington's obsession to play without vibrato. and his tempi were inapt too. btw: a glorious concert in Stuttgart from last week has been Bruckner8 with Herbert Blomstedt, i will post it in near future.
ReplyDeleteAndre Gide tell us that, "One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time." I have heard something new and particularly searching in this version; and there are things we take from everyone we meet and- more to the point- all we come into contact with. I think there is more to this interpretation now... I didn't really like it at first either.
ReplyDeleteI do so love the Bruckner 8 and picked up that Blomstedt version too! Wonderful to spread such an embarrasse de riche. Thanks to you both for sharing in the experience!
Sounds provocative, interesting, definitely worth a listen. Many thanks, kind Guillermo.
ReplyDeleteMuy amable.
ReplyDeleteLa escucharé atentamente. Prometo regresar con mis sensaciones.
Norrington must be in jail by now. If not we should get the posse together.
