The first one by Mahler in my collection. :nod:

This Entrée series by Deutsche Grammophon are not so bad, generally good interpretations for reduced price CDs.

For me, the problem with this Nr. 5 by Mahler is maybe the same as Dvořák with his New World symphony : It's a work to be listened by day, one cannot listen it easily by night because, if you put the amplifier too much low, you'll not ear easily some passages of the work and, if you put it in a normal setting for listening the work at realistic level, maybe some of your neighbors will come to talk with you...

So, for tonight, here's a cool piece of this work, the Adagietto :mm1:

Well, no movie for me tonight. I just want to listen some nice opera.

I chose this one, Andréa Chenier by Umberto Giordano.

For those who remember it, it's this aria which is played in the movie Philadelphia.

Mine is performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra but Boulez is so much a specialist of Stravinsky that he can bring out the very substance of any symphonic orchestra. One knows something about it in Cleveland...

So, this one is performed by the NYP, New York Philharmonic. Only the finale here, as to suggest that who doesn't listen to the entire work really loses something...
