Thanks for reminding me of the Leipzig Gewandhaus recording (originally issued in the US on the Cardinal label). I always assumed that Peter Damm was playing the solo part, but I would be pleased to know for sure. I take it that this recording has now been issued on CD; if so, I will look for it.

The Scherchen/Philadelphia recording is from the orchestra's 1st ever Mahler 5 performances. Unfortunately, Scherchen takes a bunch of cuts, including parts of the scherzo IIRC. His excuse was that the work might be too long & complex for Philadelphia audiences. However, the Boston Symphony under Leinsdorf played the symphony complete only a few weeks earlier on tour in Philadelphia! ----------- Eric Nagamine _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/treicher%40cooley.com This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
