I think it's this one but I'm in bed and don't have the energy to check (it has a different cover). |

They should be called nos 0 & 1 (IMHO and all that).

Yes, thats quite true. Although everyone recognises the fact that No.1, op.posth is a rather early work. It should really be something like op.posth really rather than no1.

bbm Claudio Abbado in Concert: DG 00440 073 4442
available online from hmv @ £16 99p for the 2 DVD set.
Can't help you with the Bernstein Brahms, although I assume you meant the Piano Concertos, rather than Sym 1 - 4. Coincidentally, I'm now in the throes of transferring from video to DVD:
Mahler; Das Lied von der Erde: Bernstein/Israel Phil Orch/Christa Ludwig & Rene Kollo
recorded 1972 Unitel, Munich and released on video in 1990. Heady stuff!

 I visited a friend on Monday and gave him a 'second copy' I'd acquired of Zinman's Mahler 3. This evening found him working late in school and he emailed me to say he was listening to it. Not being very knowledgeable about Mahler, he was quite surprised when Birgit Remmert started to sing O Mensch! (wasn't expecting vocal music) but felt shivers down his spine. He particularly enjoyed the final movement. I emailed him back about the stunning Mahler 3 at the proms last year, so decided to give my copy a spin as well! |

How gratifying, IGI, to have a fresh response from a friend hearing Mahler 3 for the first time. Same frisson, I suppose, as accompanying a newcomer to their first production of 'Hamlet'. A rejuvenating experience!  |

Not sure where to post this, but as the piece in question is currently playing, this is as good a place as any. A few weeks ago, Thora, one of my cats. died. By a strange coincidence, the music playing when the vet (who pays housecalls) told us that it was the end for her turned out to be Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 15 - I'd let the CD continue playing when the vet dropped in. I remember thinking, in a dazed manner, at the time that whatever was playing fitted the mood remarkably well. Later on, of course, I looked it up and found out just how appropriate the music was for my poor cat's situation. She's no more now, but this remarkable piece of music will always remind me of her. A bitter memory for now, but to remember is better than simply to forget.
The version I have is from the Borodin Quartet's second, and complete, recording of the Shokstakovich quartets.
