Mahler Symp no.6/Atlanta SO/Yoel Levi.
I kn ow some you people dont like this version but its the oepening movement, really, that does it for me. Its marked: Allegro energico, ma non troppo. I think that Levi gets this just about right.

Mind you, if you happen to be allergic to parallel fifths ...
Doesn't Jón Leifs know that every time you write a parallel fifth, Bach kills a kitten?   The quality isn't much but we trust the honourable Member sees at what we are getting.  |

 And of course when the tonic of a chorale is anticipated at the cadence and one of the other lines moves 5-4-3 all bets are off... (Sorry again about the tilt.) |

Thanks, Ollie. I'm aware of Bach's occasional parallel 5ths in chorale harmonisations (as I believe were his neighbours' feline offspring ), although that cantata(?) excerpt is quite naughty, and I hadn't seen that before. |

I do believe that's from the Matthew Passion, one of Jesus's recitatives with "halo" of accompanying strings. Funny, I've had bits of the Matthew Passion running through my head since I woke up this morning. First thing it was the opening chorus. Then it was "Mache dich." Now I'm sure this tiny moment will stay with me for much of the rest of the day (unless I do something drastic like practise to displace it...). |

Mind you, one was always warned off the Bach's "intervening note" habit of avoiding consecutives for exam purposes. And here he is effectively using an intervening note to achieve consecutives. Tut tut tut! |

I thought it was Palestrina who was killing the kittens anyway.

...while Gesualdo's murderous instincts were on higher things (well, forms of life, anyway - no disrespect towards kittens intended, mind)... |
