I have listend to the Mahler-Version of the Schumann-Symphonies for the frist time. HORRIBLE! Just horrible!!!

FWIW, I agree...Mahler changes the basic text far too often, and the old line about Schumann supposedly not being able to orchestrate has been blown wide open by several recent recordings (and even some older ones), so there is no need whatever to use the Mahler performing versions.

As a sidenote, I don't listen to Mahler (even though I was once an obsessive Mahlerian). I can't handle that level of spiritual nihilism anymore...

Well, to give some credit to Mahler, they didn't make a big fuss about those things in time... That's all positive I can say. Schumann did a work-over of Bach's Johannespassion... ;)

He made Schumann boring and poor(!) and runined so many beautiful parts. The booklet of the CD is praising it and telling, how sensitive Mahler was bla bla but I don't think so.

I have the Gardiner and the Herreweghe-cycle (both are great but it's good to have them both), as well as Norrington, Bernstein and some others.

I never was a great Mahlerfan. I have some pieces I like but he never really got me. That Wagner/Bruckner/Mahler corner is just not my place. I'm more for Hans Neubahn and his friends. ;)

Btw.: the fewer pieces you post the greater the chance anyone actually listens to them... ;)

I love this thread! I come back to it every few weeks and always find things that I've never heard before, the Croatian composers that were posted somewhat recently were pretty good and Ihno's posts of non-serious Brahms were great as was the Weiss Rossl. Also Ihno the Kozeluh symphony you posted a while back has been removed from youtube.

I have a little tale to tell about a piece of music I have been trying to find for ages I heard it on a mixed tape (remember those?). Anyway the only thing I could remember about this piece was that it was for unaccompanied choir and had no words. I have found it. YAY.

Here it is.



This is the Chorus of the Oprichniks from Ivan the Terrible by Prokofiev. I'm so happy now I can buy a CD version or download it from itunes because my mixed tape had long since died. Seriously my old walkman (remember those) was prone to chewing and always my favourite tapes.

Thanks, glad you like. :) With Brahms I had planned a little more but then became lazy... :D

Here is the Kozeluch again ;) :

I'm in for a treat: Got a recording of Schumann's missa Sacra, op. 147, which I don't know yet. And it's a HIP recording. :D ;)

Here's the Agnus Dei for organ and choir:
