Larry Kart Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Unhappy with every Mahler 8th recording I’ve heard -- Horenstein would have been ideal, but the sound isn’t what it needs to be for these vast forces, and the celebrated in many quarters Solti/CSO is interpretatively brutal — I was prompted by this review: http://ionarts.blogspot.com/2006/07/alles-vergngliche-ozawas-mahler-eighth.html to try the unlikely (so I thought) Ozawa/BSO recording. Bingo!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brain fills in for me too with JH, but at times I want to hear more, and the Ozawa is remarkable in its own right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo!  This is also my favorite M8 -- by a considerable margin.   It's so much more subtle than other versions. You can hear continuity with the transparent textures that reappear in Das Lied von der Erde. I never heard the connection between these works so clearly until I heard Ozawa's recording.   NP: Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 4, etc. / Ormandy, Philadelphia O (Sony) IMO, the plush, luxuriant sound that Ormandy favors is a perfect match for this music.  Edited March 1, 2018 by HutchFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil/Ernst Hafliger/Mildred Miller recording. Hafliger in the first movement is terrific -- yes. there's Wunderlich with Klemperer, but Hafliger seems to me to get right "in there" emotionally, while Fritz is more about his gorgeous soaring voice.

Oh yes. I like that one too. Walter's DLvdE with Ferrier is the recording that most folks rave about, but I actually like the Hafliger/Miller version just as much. That said, Kubelik's live recording with Janet Baker and Waldemar Kmentt is my "desert-island" choice.  For whatever reason, Klemperer's Mahler -- including the Wunderlich/Ludwig DLvdE that you mention -- has never really grabbed me. I like Klemps in other repertoire, but not so much in Mahler.
