Chailly's Mahler 6 review
Posted by Tony Haywood on June 21, 2021, 2:12 pm
Regarding Ralph Moore's review of the Chailly Mahler 6, a couple of things struck me. Firstly, regarding the order of the inner movements, has Chailly changed his mind for this issue? I ask because my cd of the original Decca release certainly has Scherzo-Andante, and even though it's easy to programme the cd player, I wonder if Chailly has had a re-think. Also, I'm confused by the comment 'the first timpani strikes of the Andante'. Which are these, or is it the scherzo you are referring to ? I agree with everything regarding tempi and other textural points, but just wanted to clear these up in my own mind.
