Best Multi Channel Walkie Talkie

Mahler. Centennial. Symphony No. 2. Otto Klemperer. Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam. 1951.


Dear friends began to expected deliveries of Mahler's Second Symphony, a work which I have a particular affection, and that really continues to produce an emotion profound in each listening.

Deliveries are planned, in my humble opinion, two phono gems, particularly the ones I like.

Otto Klemperer, Concertgebouw Orchestra, 1951.
Leonard Bernstein, New York Philharmonic Orchestra, 1987.


Match:

Symphony No. 2 for soprano, alto solo and mixed chorus

History:
  • 1 ª Interpetación the first three movements: March 4, 1895, Berlin, Mahler.
  • 1st Full Interpretation: December 13, 1895, Berlin, JvArtner, H. Felden, Mahler.
  • December 1895 edition for two pianos Hofmeister, Hofmeister 1897, April 1906, Universal Edition.

Movements:
  • a. Allegro maestoso, first version, sketches August 8, 1888, orchestrated September 10, 1888. "Todtefeier." Final version, April 29 renovatum de1894. B.
  • Andante moderato (Sehr gemchlich) (1888-30 July 1893). C.
  • In ruhig fließend Bewegung (July 16, 1893). D.
  • "Urlich" high single, Des Knaben Wunderhorn (1892-94). E.
  • Im Tempo des Scherzo. Wild herausfehrend; Krftig, Langsam, Misterioso, a poem by Friedrich Klopstock amended by Mahler (sketches June 29, 1894, orquestado18 December 1894).


The first installment is for the arrogant approach that made Otto Klemperer with the Concertgebouw Orchestra in the year 1951. A live concert Holland Festival of that year with the unique and wonderful incentive for the participation of Kathleen Ferrier (an amazing final movement). Klemperer gets a recreation of the play very lively, dramatic and intense, a different and very characteristic of Mahler's style director.

As a curious note indicating the anecdote occurred between Klemperer Mahler and a representations occasion of Berlin's work and that Klemperer was the director of the second band (the main director was Oskar Fried). After the first trials Klemperer Mahler approached shyly asking if he was satisfied that Mahler dry responded "too noisy." After the concert, Mahler Klemperer shook hands and said "excellent." This work left them both and especially for Klemperer was a unique and unrepeatable moment in your life. Mahler had a positive influence in launching the career of its recommendations by Klemperer and Klemperer support and kept faith with the work of Mahler and the person forever, even in moments in which his work had fallen into "disgrace" and even leading to a disaster such artistic fidelity to Klemperer's career (it was the origin of his descent into hell of the time American and her fall from grace in European forums.)

this recording reflects the efforts Klemperer to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of the death of Mahler. Their pressure on the Vox label, with which it was recorded in Vienna several works, facilitated the participation of the director in Holland, the city where the celebration of the composer's death did have a great impact (Mengelberg had done a tremendous job dissemination of the work of Mahler). Participated in three concerts with the Dutch orchestra and was lucky to have Ferrier (which incidentally, had very little positive concept of Klemperer, quite the contrary, negative in the personal and musical). The union gave results that are reflected in this decision. I sincerely believe unrepeatable.
Enjoy this beautiful work and also enjoy the concept of Klemperer Mahler, a concept and a different view of Walter, a spiritual concept marked by love and commitment, a unique devotion.

God will give me a light that will shine
me to eternal blissful life!

Traducción From (exceptional page).
  Primordial Light  

Oh, little red rose!
Men have great need!
Men suffer with pain!
I've stayed away from heaven.
came from a wide road, when an angel
tried to make me go back.
Oh, no! I turned back!
come from God and come back to God!
The merciful God will give me a little light,
to illuminate my path to eternal glory!




Resurrection Choir Soprano
rise, if resurrected,
mine dust, after a short break!

give you immortal life who called you!

To return to bloom has been sown!
The Lord of the harvest goes and gathers the sheaves

to us, we die! Contralto

Nothing is lost on you!

Coro, Soprano, Contralto

my heart, in an instant!
