. . . about that Neumann/LGO Mahler 7 (really, all the Neumann/LGO Mahler) - I've had the Seventh ever since it came out on CD. I'd known about its existence (on the Eterna label, I believe) even during LP days, but had never been able to obtain a copy. Another thing I love about all those Neumann/LGO Mahler recordings is how honestly they seem to have been recorded - get those multi-microphones outa here! In a few places of the Seventh, there are some notes which I don't recall hearing in other recordings (even on Neumann's Mahler 7 remake with the CzPO on Supraphon) - I don't know if those were just some minor misreadings which were allowed to pass, or if they were using some alternate edition of the work. In any case, this recording has long been a big favorite of mine. Glad you like it too - it received some cheap criticism from idiot reviewers when it first came out (again, on CD). One dismissed the recording because he didn't like the sound of the cymbals - what a dipstick!
So you're even immune from the Schumannesque rhythmic and textural enticements of the last movement of Borodin's First? Gosh, I love those unexpected syncopations in the main theme (pure Schumann!), but then there's that little chromatic theme which follows and which no one else but Borodin could have written. ;-)
