...Mark Anstendig's comment on the last movement of the Barbirolli Mahler Ninth:On records, I personally prefer the Klemperer recording, especially for the first three movements. The last movement of the Barbirolli recording does have some sensational things. It is extremely eery and has in many places the sterile, antiseptic, atmosphere of a hospital and it often has an expression quite similar to that employed by impersonal hospital staff towards people who are really terminal, but don't know it. The coda is absolutely the most eerily haunting recorded passage I know. And the upwards progress of the music has something of the patient's hope being slightly aroused only to be gently, but cooly dashed. And the viola at the beginning of the coda plays with an expressiveness second to nothing else I have ever heard. What that man puts into a few notes is, for me, almost unbelievable, and worth the whole record set...and won't really come through on CDs.
Nice writing.
