Fellow Masters,
Sorry that I've been "off the air" for a bit. End of term in different time-zones has almost ended me as well. I'll try to do better soon.
One of my students at McGill recently turned me on to an absolutely fabulous DVD that all of you Mahlerians should ask Santa for:
Mahler: Symphony No.5
Berliner Philharmoniker/Simon Rattle
EMI (2003)
Tamás Velenczel reminds us, once again, why he's the most glorious sounding orchestral trumpeter heard today and the solo hornist comes down to the front of the stage for the obligato/third movement. Great fun and, in my opinion, the best Fifth that I've ever heard. VERY impressive.
Buy it for yourself if you don't celebrate. . .
Dashing through the snow (no, that's the 4th),
