    As was mentioned earlier Karajan recorded Mahler 4 (with Edith Mathis), 5-6 and 9.

    Does Pogorelich happen to frequent the same clothing store that Marcel Marceau used to?

    Has anyone bought that Chandos LP release of the London Symphony?

    I don't know if it is a misprint but one side lasting 37 minutes seems to be incredibly optimistic. I baulk even at LPs with sides much over around 28 minutes.

    So I left out M4 due to my oversight, I thought I have all the Karajan's Mahlers ...

    He did not tackle Mahler until fairly late in his career because he did not think he was ready for those works when he was younger (according to his biography) ...

    Which I think is a pity; I would have loved to hear Karajan's take on Mahler 1-3 and 7.

    They are great IMO. Did you get the SACDs?

    From a contemporary classical composer, these three works were composed in the last few years. It is on a Naxos American Classics disc issued in 2015.

    Aaron Jay Kernis:
    Three Flavors [piano concerto]
    Two Movements [violin and piano]
    Superstar Etude No. 3 [piano]

    Andrew Russo, piano
    James Ehnes, violin
    Albany Symphony Orchestra
    David Alan Miller, conductor

    I think I will be returning to hear this again.

    I've met David Alan Miller (conductor for Albany Symphony Orchestra)... very nice guy. I was in my early 20s and would've been much more at home at a Phish show than a symphony concert, but I ended up backstage at the ASO nonetheless. Shook hands with my buddy and I and seemed legitimately interested in our thoughts on the performance. From what I've gathered since, it seems he's a pretty big proponent of contemporary classical, which is fitting because classical music needs people like this if its going to continue to grow.

    I'm doing some comparative listening and will report back in a bit. His playing is very deliberate; he's not trying to be flashy.

    Michel Bernstein could be all over the place as an engineer. Of course, the room they recorded in is doubtless the primary factor for the end result. Remember, the same producer/engineer who recorded this also recorded Hopkinson Smith's Ennemond Gualtier CD, a miracle of audio production.
