Hello brotha Rocky, I see we’re still as distant as our musical tastes. I’m completely unaware of your musical proposal. This calls for some reflection, that we should renew a cultural exchange on equal terms sooner or later, take care :)

A big record of those that occasionally play by themselves in the player.

I really enjoyed the comparison you made between Schubert, Chopin, and Liszt, contextualizing it historically. It’s a very interesting analytical perspective that again shows how music should also be understood in relation to the environment in which it is created. The Hyperion label is another reason for interest in this record, a great record company, I fully agree. Excellent proposal, excellent Mullah, I completely endorse John.

These are the things I like in debaser, I didn't know that Eliahu Imbal was a leading interpreter of Mahler, finding these coincidences of quotes sparks quite a bit of curiosity in me, thanks Airone and Mullah. @ John, the image of the turned glove is really effective, it conveys how the themes of his music unfold, thx :))

The sixth conducted by Solti with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is simply magnificent Grasshopper, but I haven't listened to it in a long time because I have it on vinyl; at the time I chose Abbado for the CD. However - I repeat - Boulez is worth listening to. Bye :)

My approach to his music leads me to a sort of embarrassment when discussing it, to the point that this review once had a title in that sense which I later cut ("Nothing is learned to know but what one loves" Goethe). Too focused on what I think, rather what I feel. The right title for his music is another one that was cut because it was too long, especially the comments "In Mahler's music, the experience of the universe begins on the road and ends in infinity," which Adorno said if I remember correctly. With these words, Mahler is fully encapsulated, as he managed to combine in his music the human and the infinite, the high and the low, life and death. Like in this symphony that begins with death and ends with life. Only a great could conceive it.

Mahler wrote only symphonies (10 in total, the last one unfinished) and lieder; these are pages with an incredible imprint, musical pages that were far too advanced for their time. He was misunderstood and criticized. Many attacked him, claiming the absence of development in his symphonies, replaced by a hodgepodge of nonsensical themes, often popular ones. If I remember correctly, Mahler felt terrible when, at the premiere of the Fourth Symphony, a composer (I can’t recall who it was now) left the hall before the first movement had concluded. Only after his death did time bring Mahler the rightful recognition for his work.

It will be ... I'm not very convinced, but I take what you say at face value mostly because I prefer to talk about something else. Several years ago, a friend visited me and brought this record you see depicted; it’s the exact one I received back then (I scanned the cover). He simply told me, "you have to listen to this." I listened to it, and long story short, I ended up acquiring the record (a mutual habit with this friend; I still have some of his records and vice versa). Discovering Mahler's music was extraordinary for me because it is grand in every sense: musically, emotionally, in terms of content, and history.
