This is pretty much the only version of Symphony 3 that I like for some reason.
That sounds promising Dave....I am looking forward to hearing it.

Three new Mahler CDs:

Image

The Hamburg 1893 version of Mahler 1, including Blumine. Most versions which include Blumine tack it on to the published 1899 Berlin version, in which the other movements have been revised subsequent to the removal of Blumine: 1893 was its last appearance. (Netherlands SO/de Vriend)

Gergiev in M7.

Image

Norrington and the Stuttgart Orchestra in M9. No vibrato, speeds quite fleet. You hear a lot. I like it.

I can see you and Hummel going together very well indeed... I think he's very underrated actually, and even Beethoven himself was a great admirer of his work. I don't really understand why there are so few recordings of his choral works.
