Mariss Jansons 1943 - 2019

Thanks Pet. Did you acquire the MJ Mahler 9 BRSO??

Yes, I did, quite some time ago and seem to have forgotten all about it other than I liked it, though, Haitink with the same orchestra on the same label is best of all.

Haven't played Mahler 9 for quite a while so it's due an airing.

I think his last concert was on November 8 in Carnegie Hall, New York, with the BRSO, Alison.

A recording of part of the concert is here https://www.wqxr.org/story/listen-di...gie-hall-live/

I've not listened to it but understand from the comments that the Strauss 4 Last Songs has been omitted from the recording as Diana Damrau was unwell and not in best voice. Pity.

Yes in the Munich concert that I refer to Diana Damrau withdrew from the Four Last Songs.

[Alison]

Brahms 4 then as a final performance.

Thanks for the link.

There were some good tributes on Monday's In Tune, mainly from 6 pm onwards.

A memorial concert given by the Bavarian Radio Choir and Symphony Orchestra was streamed live last night from Munich. Mahler's 2nd Symphony conducted by Zubin Mehta. It is still available on replay.

Under good hands here. I’ve a friend who plays with the IPO, who admires the way Mehta conducts this work.
