Webern, Brahms and Mahler/Cooke 10th Symphony - CBSO/Collon 31.3.16

[ahinton]

You may think that Prof Lenz is a fictitious character named after a Comedian Harmonists song, but it so happens that I was interviewed by her in 2005, the results of which may be accessed here.

Thank you for this (although I had read it previously); however, are you able to point to other information about or links to Prof. Lenz and her work?

Loved the concert - the Webern has been a favourite since I first came to these pastures and heard S'Rattle and the Berliners at the Proms in 2010. I didn't find the Brahms pedestrian and the Mahler was IMVVHO very, very well done ....

Hey Anton. I'll certainly give the Brahms another go (he's one of my favourites) And isn't that the beauty of the I-player facility? One has plenty of time to repent at leisure

Best Wishes,

It is indeed a thing of wonder how did we ever live without it in the Dark Ages.

Ha ha true. And we seem to have given similar status to so many other things as well (email, texts, computers, FOR3 forum etc). Is the power of this illusion one of capitalism's trump cards I wonder?

On topic, I heard most of the Mahler and it was indeed terrific.

[Barbirollians]

I am not surprised by the reviews on here Collon gave an exceptional Beethoven 7 last autumn with the Halle.

I don't normally use i-player to listen to concerts but I did on this occasion. I haven't really understood Mahler but thought this concert very haunting. Still have much to learn about classical music and this composer in particular!

I caught most of the Mahler 10 performance which sounded wonderful to me, utterly involving - a young conductor on the way up, and rightly so from his pacing and shaping of this piece, with some excellent blended, sensitive playing from the CBSO. I shall certainly listen again, to the Mahler, and to catch the first half of the concert.

I will certainly catch up with this concert but when I do not know. Sounds very tempting.

As a BBM, don't be too critical of the one 'ouch' near the start of the final movement of the '10th'.
