New daily deal at eclassical!

[Bob Stern]

Today's Rach sym 2 with Gergiev & LSO is excellent.

 

Since eClassical permits buying individual tracks, you might also consider the Supplica track from the Rouse album.  It's an elegiac mood piece sort of like Barber's Adagio for Strings except with a wide variety of orchestral timbres.  It doesn’t really go anywhere, but it's pretty.  The frequently changing instrumental combinations are the main interest.  (The other two pieces are the polar opposite: raucous.)

 

Vanska's Mahler is terrible IMO.  He underplays all the contrasts between sections, instead limiting his expression to micromanaging articulation changes.

I’d definitely need a blue pill then. Or maybe I should start with a couple of drams of a good single malt. 

 

Then you don't need to do anything. The blue one comes by default.

Blue is the placebo arm. This pandemic has made us all experts on RCTs.

Tough Mahler crowd here!

 

Today's Isabelle Faust's Mozart violin concertos is a nice collection, if you need one more set.

Today's Mendelssohn by the Escher String Quartet is excellent and powerful.  

 

Also superbly recorded.  BIS recordings seem to be more full bodied lately.
