Musicophile Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 If you haven’t done so yet, this is an excellent opportunity to get pretty much every single album Rachel Podger has ever recorded on this label. They are pretty much all very good. Highlights to me are her Four Seasons and the Mozart sonatas. semente 1 Check out my blog at musicophilesblog.com - From Keith Jarrett to Johannes Brahms Link to comment

I like some of them (particularly 1 and 4) but not all of them will be universally appreciated: https://musicophilesblog.com/2015/07/08/ivan-fischers-mahler-9-or-what-to-make-of-critical-reviews/ I guess that's a side effect of Mahler's works, even Walter and Klemperer who both worked directly with Mahler iat some point interpret his symphonies wildly differently. So YMMV as well. Check out my blog at musicophilesblog.com - From Keith Jarrett to Johannes Brahms Link to comment

Because — that's not what I was saying. That's a very high bar. The only Fischer recording that comes close to best for me is the 3rd. Anyway — the point I was making was that the FIscher Mahler albums at £8 and change are great value, and I've already bought all of the ones I didn't already own. They join several other worthy versions in my collection, notably the MTT/San Francisco and the Zander/Philharmonia cycles. Your preferences can — and clearly do — vary! Oh fully agree!!!! austinpop 1 Check out my blog at musicophilesblog.com - From Keith Jarrett to Johannes Brahms Link to comment
