Gustav Mahler - we mark his anniversary (Photo: Tully Potter) May 18 marks the centenary of the death, in Vienna, of Gustav Mahler.
Few composers enjoy his popularity, a popularity that has grown enormously during the past half century. Once conductors aspired to record a Beethoven symphony cycles, these days a Mahler cycle is more sought after. As an anniversary gesture, we offer a number of different symphony cycles – The Gramophone Mahler cycle, A cycle by living conductors, A live Mahler cycle, A not-the-obvious cycle, A historic cycle (featuring conductors who knew and worked with Mahler) and a DVD Mahler cycle.
But Mahler is a composer who draws strong reactions, and we'd like your thoughts and recommendations to supplement ours, so please do add your Mahler favourites (and dislikes) in the Forum thread we've started… The Gramophone Mahler cycle No 1 – BRSO / Rafael Kubelík (DG) Buy from Amazon No 2 – Royal; Kozená; Berlin Radio Chorus; BPO / Sir Simon Rattle (EMI) Buy from Amazon.

Сайт Святослава Рихтера. Автор: Давид Рабинович Заголовок: Святослав Теофилович Рихтер Рихтер дебютировал Шестой сонатой Прокофьева. В самом этом факте есть нечто символическое, как если бы громовые фортиссимо и могучий удар " col pugno " ("кулаком") в Allegro moderato сонаты, подобно победным салютам, возвестили о приходе нового героя в мир фортепьянного исполнительства. Даже не о приходе, точнее, о вторжении– неожиданном и ошеломляющем. Для значительной части аудитории Рихтер "возник" внезапно, и, справедливости ради, надо сказать: большинство слушателей собралось 26 ноября 1940 года в Малом зале Московской консерватории, чтобы встретиться не с Рихтером, а с его педагогом Г.
Нейгаузом, игравшим в первом отделении. Рихтер был тогда известен сравнительно немногим. Впервые имя Рихтера мимолетно прозвучало в Москве в дни Всесоюзного конкурса 1933 года. Рихтер и вправду объявился в Москве, однако гораздо позднее — в 1937 году. Следует хорошо знать Нейгауза, чтобы до конца почувствовать смысл его реплики. Leonard Bernstein's Masterful Lectures on Music (11+ Hours of Video Recorded at Harvard in 1973) In 1972, the composer Leonard Bernstein returned to Harvard, his alma mater, to serve as the Charles Eliot Norton Professor of Poetry, with “Poetry” being defined in the broadest sense. The position, first created in 1925, asks faculty members to live on campus, advise students, and most importantly, deliver a series of six public lectures. T.S. Eliot, Aaron Copland, W.H. Auden, e.e. cummings, Robert Frost, Jorge Luis Borges — they all previously took part in this tradition.
And Bernstein did too. Delivered in the fall of 1973 and collectively titled “The Unanswered Question,” Bernstein’s lectures covered a lot of terrain, touching on poetry, linguistics, philosophy and physics. But the focus inevitably comes back to music — to how music works, or to the underlying grammar of music. Lecture 2: Musical Syntax Lecture 3: Musical Semantics Lecture 4: The Delights & Dangers of Ambiguity Lecture 5: The 20th Century Crisis Lecture 6: The Poetry of Earth.
Leadership in Orchestra Emerges from the Causal Relationships of Movement Kinematics. Non-verbal communication enables efficient transfer of information among people. In this context, classic orchestras are a remarkable instance of interaction and communication aimed at a common aesthetic goal: musicians train for years in order to acquire and share a non-linguistic framework for sensorimotor communication. To this end, we recorded violinists' and conductors' movement kinematics during execution of Mozart pieces, searching for causal relationships among musicians by using the Granger Causality method (GC). We show that the increase of conductor-to-musicians influence, together with the reduction of musician-to-musician coordination (an index of successful leadership) goes in parallel with quality of execution, as assessed by musical experts' judgments. Rigorous quantification of sensorimotor communication efficacy has always been complicated and affected by rather vague qualitative methodologies.

Chapter I There was no sentiment in the man's emotional make-up. Of all the stories of his childhood this one throws most light upon Mahler the creator. Chapter II. Norman Lebrecht. Gustav Mahler: The Earliest Years. Henry-Louis de La Grange is a French-born music critic who has, as they say, “written the book” on Gustav Mahler. His four-volume biography – the last volume came out in 2008 – averaging about 1,000 pages per volume, is easily the most detailed if not the definitive biography on the composer.
When the late, lamented Encore Books went out-of-business, I managed to pick up Vol. 2 (pictured, left) and Vol. 3 for about $20 each: these three volumes currently list for $140-$155. Vol. 1, curiously, never came up in these searches. Much of the material I used for my posts on Mahler’s 3rd for the Harrisburg Symphony’s recent performance came from Vol. 2 which covered the years he was preparing the work for its first performances. Even though it had tons of information about it, the time period it was composed in was covered in Vol. 1 which I didn’t have and couldn’t find.
Curious about it, I began looking around to see what I could. (I’ll write more about Mahler & Hans Rott in a subsequent post.) 65 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: MAHLER Symphony No.2 "Resurrection". Baker/Harper/Bavarian RSO/Klemperer (EMI) Gustav MAHLER (1860-1911) Includes libretto in English ONLY. 'Live' recording from 29 Jan 1965. by Derek Lim From the vaults of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra comes a 'live' recording of Mahler's Second Symphony with Otto Klemperer.
The stories of Klemperer's relations with the great composer himself are many, and one is related, very touchingly, in the CD sleeve notes. I take the liberty to quote exactly here: When Klemperer returned empty-handed, Mahler took a visiting card from his pocket and wrote on it: Gustav Mahler recommends Herr Klemperer as an outstanding Musician, who despite his youth is already very experienced and is predestined for a conductor's career. He vouches for the successful outcome of any probationary appointment and will gladly provide further information personally.
Klemperer kept a copy of the card in his wallet until the day of his death. EMI has evidently done a fine job in searching for the tapes, based on this really clear stereo sound. Mahler: A Musical Physiognomy - Theodor W. Adorno - Google Books.
