A just posted Mahler 4 by the new BPO Music Director Designate Kirill Petrenko Brigitte Geller, Soprano
and the Orchester der Komischen Oper Berlin.

Brisk and detailed for sure. Kind of like it.

I can't get the YouTube to post, but it is on Slipped Disc

There is a Zemlinsky Lyric Symphony too noted in the comments.

Edit: unfortunately the end of the Mahler 4 1st movement is cut off.

Franz Bruggen was a renowned conductor of the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century but I remember him more as a wonderful recorder player. I used play the instrument in another life and Bruggen was one of the virtuoso players that I greatly admired. He was a consumate virtuoso player beyond reproach but he was also "different". He was tall, lanky and sat [as opposed to standing] in an unusual posture, cross legged and bent forward. The playing was always unimpeacheable as in this clip where he is accompanied by Leonhardt....





Sadly missed on many fronts!

Cheers Seán. I was also going to post the clip his last filmed concert. He conducted from a wheelchair and had a tube connected to his nose. The poor old body was falling apart but one could see the indomitable spirit still there. I just thought that it was a little too poignant for me to post it however.
