Though there are lots of outstandig Mahler performances out there, my real first understanding of Mahler passed through Kubelik.

Hummel -  Septet Op.114 (The Military"  and   C. Kreutzer - Grand Septet Op.62

[Larry Kart]

Inside Schoenberg's mind  (or soul) circa 1917:

From the text of Die Jakobsleiter:

 

"Though grandeur gleams around me,

humiliation still chafes me;

I attempt to flee from matter; disgust makes it easy for me,

hunger forces me back.

However high I raised myself,

I shoiuld nver lose them from my sight;

their best is mine; as is their worst.

I plunder, steal, and wrest I way,

disdain what is acquire and inherited,gather it together, seize it, to grab it anew,

to shape a model certainly new, perhaps higher.

 

They are the theme, I the variation.

But a different motive impels me,

drives me to a different goal.

Which? I must know that! Away!

I leave my word here: ponder it well!

I take my form with me; it lies ahead of you

meantime

until it reappears in your midst with new words

-- the old ones again -- to be misunderstood once more.

Even rather prophetic, one might say: 

e.g. 

"I take my form with me; it lies ahead of you

meantime

until it reappears in your midst with new words

-- the old ones again -- to be misunderstood once more."
