It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Not how Mahler did it

199.179.162.105

Mahler's conductiong style - inherited from Wagner - and the ruling style of the day (quite unlike what the charlatan period phonies are SELLING to the uninformed), was diametrically opposed to the one practiced in our time, including Kaplan's. While I too appreciate his mission, no one should be fooled into thinking that this is the way Mahler was performed when Mahler lived, that Mahler perform Mahler in this way, or that
it is THE geniune, period-true performance tradition.

For THAT you must turn to Mengleberg - next to Nikisch, the greatest of them all and THE REAL DEAL.
