Perhaps because they are relatively early Brahms, I don't know? They are lively works though, I agree.Jared wrote: I do like Brahm's Sextets, although there don't appear to be too many recordings of them about. Mine is this recording, although admittedly with a different cover...
:-) I doubt it Jared! The above was my last Mahler purchase and that was several months ago. I've stopped buying Mahler CD's for the foreseeable future.Jared wrote: I think Dave's Mahler collection will soon be as large as Sean's!
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. Btw I might be having a little listening session in my place in the coming weeks so you can have a listen to it then if you are around.

me likewise, my friend... love Mahler though I do, I'm all 'Mahlered out' after my exertions during the first half of 2011... I can feel a mixture of Piano Music and Renaissance/ Early Music coming on, over the next few months... ;-))DaveF wrote: I've stopped buying Mahler CD's for the foreseeable future.
+1 Jared. I've yet to come across a better Mendelssohn set than the one you mentioned.Jared wrote:^^ I wonder whether the Abbado set of Overtures on DG will ever be bettered as an overall body of work... he really seems to have got to the heart and soul of the matter...
