coot Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Ditto. My favorite also. Kaplan passed away not long ago. He reached his lifelong goal in conducting this with a major orchestra. Danka to DGG and Vienna Phil for making it happen. Link to comment

Indeed. Mahler's 2nd was a singular quest for him. You'll see sniffy comments online disparaging him for being an amateur, but to my ears this recording is an outstanding performance. Maybe a trained musician/conductor will find it flawed - I don't know. I'm neither! Norton 1 My Audio Setup Link to comment

graham Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Outstanding. The "conversation" between sax, bass and percussion is mesmerising. Guidof 1 Link to comment

rando Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I own the MCA Kaplan LSO as much for the extensive second booklet as to hear a fresh conducting voice. This is probably the second, maybe third, "Resurrection" I own. Ripped from the Dolby Digital 2.0 version of the live video recording on a normal DVD. Link to comment
austinpop Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 There's a 3rd Kaplan recording of Mahler 2nd I just found on Qobuz. I'll listen to it once I'm back home: https://open.qobuz.com/album/wg1mmi71z8brb My Audio Setup Link to comment
WAM Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Never heard of this one, thanks for sharing. Never knew there was a chamber version (only familiar with a chamber version of Das Lied (a Schonberg transcription)). Link to comment

EuroChamp Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I did not post an album of the evening due to a lack of time since weeks. Please have mercy now with me. 😉 Fazil Say Beethoven: Complete Piano Sonatas [24/96] Qobuz I absolutely was not sure when I heard it for the first time, but now I love it. A modern approach by Fazil Say on one hand, but sure not too technical or abstract on the other. Link to comment
