I know that I will be shot for this but it was never one of my favourites Seán.Seán wrote:Magnificent, isn't it?fergus wrote:Mahler 1, Kubelik....
When I was cataloguing it last night I noticed that I have another M1 conducted by Kubelik, this time played by the Vienna Philharmonic. I must do a comparison between the two versions some time.

If it's the 1954 recording I have that too, and nah, I prefer the Maestro's first recording with the BRSO to the VPO and the second BRSO recording on the Audite label. But that's me, about as odd as they come! Har! har! ;)When I was cataloguing it last night I noticed that I have another M1 conducted by Kubelik, this time played by the Vienna Philharmonic.

Re: What are you listening two?
You are most likely correct about the 1954 VPO recording Seán; I just don't recall it at all. I remember that you are very keen on the DG BRSO cycle, as are most people. I think that I am the odd one out here.Seán wrote: If it's the 1954 recording I have that too, and nah, I prefer the Maestro's first recording with the BRSO to the VPO and the second BRSO recording on the Audite label.

I prefer both BRSO recordings to the VPO, but the Audite is probably my favorite of the 3, such characterful playing!

I love Janacek operas so much Fergus! But I have the sad feeling that unless you speak Czech, you will never grasp all their glory. Janacek tied words and music very tightly, in fact often his melodies came from the rhythms of pronunciation and forms of speech.

and the GREAT Sir Charles Mackerras seems to be the man to go to for recorded perfomances of Janáček's operatic repertoire?Jose Echenique wrote:fergus wrote:First listen to Janacek's The Cunning Little Vixen....
