A very gentle and heartwarming requiem. Angelic, nothing dark and morbid. Despite the fact this musical genius died poor at 35 and was given a modest funeral, his body laid in a shared tomb.

She reminds me of Yo Yo Ma in her sound and phrasing yet still with an own voice.Good addition to my extended library of Bach cello suites.

This RCA recording is still my favorite rendition of Mahler's titanic Symphony #7

Cheers,

COOL.....this was done in the Medinah Temple and not Orchestra Hall....I love the way Levine lets the brass crank when they asked to do so, and sadly, most of the Mahler 7's leave me lukewarm to cold.....also interesting about this recording was that it was a SoundStream recording (used a lot by Telarc). Telarc released a number of their old SoundStream recordings as stunning SACD's so I was always hopeful that this recording might make it on to an SACD....oh well, c'est la vie

The Mehta/LA Phil is not my favorite Mahler 5...I have over 20 recordings (CD and SACD) of Mahler's 5th, though the Decca sound on the Mehta is very fine...my favorite, until I hear the new Mahler 5 with Fischer, is the MTT/SFSO (SACD) and an old Teldec with Sinopoli and New York

Cheers,
