Peter, well - I must still demur about the new Solti Mahler 1 - I was a big fan of his 1964 LSO recording - to the extent of just purchasing a new super-cut replacement of my 18 yrea old copy. His new one I still find totally mudane tho' - sorry. Also, like many other conductors (Kubelik the notable exception) he fails to bring out the termolandos on the violins during the peroration of the finale - a magical effect usually drowned by the brass. As for the Abbado Resurrection: (I tend to agree about his 1st - heard him conduction the EECYO in this 2/3 years ago and wasn't overwhelmed) I still enjoy his reading - OK I prefer Klemperer but the recording is not so hot.At leas Claudio doesn't make the final coda seem like an anticlimax - as it so often can, particularly on record. Actually, I'm really waiting (hoping) for Karajan to record 1 2 and 8 - all his other Mahler records have been revelations (ditto most of his Bruckner) - is there nothing his man can't turn his baton to. deryk. P.S. think my mail address should be DBarker at HIS-PHOENIX-MULTICS on the ARPAnet.
