I also get confused by netowrk addresses so am replying to Peter Gayde
here.

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.
