...a quick post before calling it a night I was very fortunate to record the 2nd Mahler with Bernard Haitink while in Rotterdam. Please listen to the following clip and tell me if it was too far over the top? http://www.inlex.net/feck/mahler.mp3 Best, EC (shameless) (the Haitink part is true, however) (ditto fortunate)
GORGEOUS.... I sure hope "you" were sitting behind the woodwinds on that one... Was this your parting gig in Europe Mr. Carroll? Can you imagine what Mahler would say to this? "No, no. There were NO cats fights scored in this." I like the Maynard shakes too... Good one!
OMG......Mahler is having a seizure now.....as a matter of fact, I think I will join him. Yikes! (the Maynard shakes were a "nice" touch......) LOL
