Thanks for that Dave....it is probably my favourite Mahler symphony and a new/different angle would certainly be welcome.DaveF wrote:....A performance on period intruments which initially sounds a little odd Fergus but this one has turned out to be one of my favorite M4's. There is a lot of delicacy and intimacy in this performance. It seems to have divided opinion but if you are looking for some 'different' it might be well worth getting....fergus wrote:I would be very curious about that one Dave.DaveF wrote:

On this disc we have a very fine performance by Zinman and his crew of three very fine works by Herr Strauss namely the forlorn, very poignant yet beautiful Metamorphosen; the beautiful Four Last Songs and finally the playful, vivacious and very elegant Oboe Concerto.

Dave, is this a favourite of yours? Can you say why? It looks like an enticing prospect...DaveF wrote:

Maybe I'm being very blinkered, but I just wouldn't have put Herreweghe and Mahler together easily... are they characteristically small forces? Is it in any way an HIP? Forgive my ignorance, but most Mahler I possess is large, mushy and fairly bombastic...fergus wrote: Thanks for that Dave....it is probably my favourite Mahler symphony and a new/different angle would certainly be welcome.

I have Kempe, Karajan, Bohm & Szell in those works Fergus... I would be intrigued in how Zinman sounds, I must admit...fergus wrote:
