Teresa Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Chesky's 30th Anniversary Collection: Complete Set (1986-2016) I purchased from HDTracks back in 2017. It has 72 songs and cost me only $33.98. Great collection with resolutions from 16/44.1 to 24/192. HDTracks now has the complete set (72 songs) for only 20.98! I have dementia. I save all my posts in a text file I call Forums.

Popular Post Teresa Posted June 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2020 I like all of Mahler's Symphonies except No. 8 "Symphony of a Thousand". Today for me is a festival of Bartok, I'm playing the Bartok New Series on Hungaroton with the Zoltán Kocsis conducting the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra.

Popular Post Teresa Posted June 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2020 7 hours ago, austinpop said: Let’s win your heart then! Please listen to the Georg Solti version on Decca from 1972. Just PM me if you have trouble locating. Thanks for the offer. My apartment complex's free Wi-Fi internet service doesn't allow streaming of any kind, audio or video. Thus, I would have to purchase another Mahler 8th, which I'm unwilling to do based on past experiences. My last Mahler 8th was by Maurice Abravanel conducting the Utah Symphony Orchestra with Alexander Schreiner (Organ), Jeannine Crader (Soprano), Lynn Owen (Soprano), Blanche Christensen (Soprano), Nancy Williams (Alto), Marlena Kleinman (Alto), Stanley Kolk (Tenor), Malcolm Smith (Bass), David Clatworthy (Baritone), University of Utah Choruses and Children's Choir on a two sided Classic Records HDAD, one side 24/192 for DVD-Audio and the other side 24/96 for DVD-Video. My Yamaha universal player doesn't do DVD-Audio so I listened to the 24/96 side. The only reason I purchased this Mahler 8th is because it was part of a set of 10 Classic Records DADs and HDADs that Acoustic Sounds offered back in 2014 for only $25.00. That's $2.50 per disc, I kept half of them and traded the others (including this Mahler's 8th) in a Recycled Records. I have owned other Mahler's 8th's prior to this one, mostly on prerecorded Reel-to-Reel or LP. It is quite possible that I may have owned the Solti version in the past, I pretty much disliked all the versions the same. So when I got this Abravanel version I didn't have high hopes and it solidified my dislike of this symphony. It’s the music not the performances I dislike, for me, Mahler’s 8th has way too much of the type of singing I dislike. The singing in Mahler's Symphonies Nos. 2, 3 and 4 are only in certain parts and those symphonies remain mostly orchestral. Singing doesn’t dominate those symphonies the way it does in No. 8.

Popular Post Teresa Posted June 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2020 12 hours ago, Norton said: The Solti Mahler cycle is my favourite and the SQ on CD is everything you’d expect from recordings of the DECCA SXL era. 2,5 and 6 are fab... My favorite Mahler symphony is No. 1 followed by 5, 6 and 7. I also like Nos. 2, 3 and 4 despite the small amount of singing. I dislike Maher's 8th for the same reason I dislike Shostakovich's Symphony No. 14, the type and amount of singing which for me distracts the orchestral playing. In Shostakovich's case I prefer Symphonies Nos. 1, 15, 5, 7, 10, 4, 6, 9, 11, 8 and 12 I dislike Nos. 14, 13, 2, and 3. The only classical singing I really like is Orff's Carmina Burana, in symphonies I tolerate singing if it doesn't distract too much from the orchestral writing. For singing I prefer folk and some Pop/Rock singers with nice sounding voices. AnotherSpin and firedog 1 1 I have dementia. I save all my posts in a text file I call Forums.

Popular Post Teresa Posted June 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2020 Right now I am playing Belafonte at Carnegie Hall, a great sounding live recording from 1959. According to the program notes "there is no re-recording of rehearsals or second tries, no splicing. This is what actually happened." Why can't major labels record like this anymore? I have the Analogue Productions SACD version. Analogue Productions also has a 200-gram LP version. The 24/96 download version is NOT the Analogue Productions version but from RCA and I don't trust major label downloads. I have only heard the older Classic Records 180-gram LP and the Analogue Productions SACD versions, however I would imagine that the Analogue Productions 200-gram LP should be at least as good, perhaps even better than the SACD version.

That said, I'm still struggling to really get into Nielsen. None of the pieces I've heard so far have really grabbed me. I know, I know — in re the recent Mahler 8 discussion — all a matter of taste. Have you tried these two? They are my favorite Nielsen. The Orchestral works album on Dacapo includes 9 overtures and symphonic poems. And the 2nd Symphony on BIS includes my favorite work by Nielsen, the Aladdin Suite. austinpop and AnotherSpin 2 I have dementia. I save all my posts in a text file I call Forums.
