Your First Mahler record

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

I bought that lp set to celebrate being accepted to Medical School. It's still my favorite 6th. The strings in the Andante!

(Played after the Scherzo, of course )

The LP that had the rainbow on the front cover.

Blue with a rainbow. the sixth was black with the same rainbow.

Didn't the 4th have about half a dozen rainbows IIRC ?

IIRC that's the case, but I am not sure. Can't recall the Ninth.

[LeMartinPecheur]

Either the LSO/Solti Mahler 1 or the Decca ACL Ferrier/Walter Lied von der Erde. Both still going strong

As it should be....

A very dim LP of Mahler 8, conducted by Flipse (live) with Rotterdam forces. Yes, just one LP; I bought it in Selfridges and the two LPs were separated on the shelf. I first of all bought sides 2 and 3 (remember "autochange"?) and then returned to swap them for sides 1 and 4.

I was twelve and that was as far as my pocket money would go.

Of course, I had a particular reason for buying it; I had just sung in the boys' choir at Horenstein's legendary performance at the RAH in 1959. And there began my love -affair with Mahler.

The two LP set of Mahler Symphony No 2 with Bruno Walter conducting the NYPO.

When I bought these LPs, in my mid teens, it was my very first experience of Mahler. (I do love the photo of Bruno Walter on the cover of the LPs - a wonderful face, so full of humanity.)

I'd almost forgotten I had this. I've just been to garage and found my double LP dated 1972 which has notes by Walter but no photo of him and instead a kind of starburst on the cover.

This was the cover of the earlier LP:



The sleeve notes were written by Bruno Walter himself.

That's the one that I had.
How does the lp sound after residing in the garage?

Not been played for a couple of decades. The garage acts as a kind of halfway house to oblivion, also containing several bits of furniture and household utensils left there by my daughter about ten years ago. I should probably dump the lot of it.
