Re: The Covid Opportunity to listen, assess and re-asses.
I have the Bertini box - it's one of my favourites. And, yes, the opening of Part 2 is glorious music but then the sound and the fury takes over again. Thank you anyway, Ford, I aprreciate it, however, it's probably a lost cause for me: I have the same problem, with Gerontius, Elijah, most of Schoenberg and most of Milhaud. Some things are not meant to be... Previous Message Regarding Mahler 8, part 1 is certainly bombastic. It doesn't help that most recordings (in my opinion) fail to justice to the work. The best version I've heard is that conducted by Bertini in his EMI box-set. The full version is available to listen on Youtube, though if you want to avoid bombast it's always better to leap straight to part 2! ?t=1318 Previous Message Yes, the Mahler question has plagued me all my listening life and there are days when he's in my top ten. Then I confront the bombast of the 8th and though Homer nods, I just shake my head when Mahler roars sweet nothings.
