ReplyDeleteI heard Abbado do Mahler 9 with the BPO at the Proms in London in 1994 (I think) and that was a staggering performance. His Mahlerfest performance from 1995 is equally as fine - but when I saw this Lucerne performance I was blown away. I haven't watched the DVD yet (even though I have had it for two weeks) - it's such a powerful performance I have yet to find the right time and place - but I'll know if it is edited from the two performances. The broadcast I have from the concert has some unusually inaccurate horn intonation at the climax of the adagio. But even given that, this is one of the greatest performances of Mahler's Ninth - and thank you for converting it. I was going to do that myself. Eventually.
ReplyDeleteDear Duke,
ReplyDeleteWow thank you so much for this wonderful, wonderful post! Words cannot describe my joy, haha...
Frankly, I think this performance will acquire legendary status with time...
By the way, may I know what software you use to rip the content, I saw some Chinese characters from the screen capture above.
Dera Yunn Ming,
ReplyDeleteI use foobar to play ape/flac and EAC to rip. Yeah, I think Abbado's Mahler with LFO were among the best cycle ever recorded in the history.
Dear Angel,
ReplyDeleteYeah this is the best Mahler 9 of Abbado, I think. But in my opinion, the 2nd and 3rd mv is a little bit "mediocre" compared with berlin version recorded in 1999, in term of speed and power, but the final mv is absolutely the best, so impressive and emotional that moved people to tears.
BTW, I will upload both his VPO version in late 1980s and berlin version in 1999 for you to make comparison.
ReplyDeleteThe 6th DVD is great.
ReplyDeleteSo, I'll try this aswell.
Very kind of you.
Hello, I think this is a marvellous performance. I'm having some technical difficulties breaking up the cue flac into separate flac tracs. I do this since burning the cue with Nero often makes a mess around pre-track silences. Normally I use Medieval CueSplitter for the splitting and it works 99 times out of 100. It seems however that this occasion was the one exception. All tracks were recognised but only track 1 could be separated. Do you have any recommendations how to separate tracks and burn the thing properly?
ReplyDeleteThx
Dear Eric,
ReplyDeleteTry to use foobar to separate the tracks first.
I have considerable problems with the DG/BPO Mahler 9 because of the sound. The Albert Hall M9 I have, which I attended, is much more atmospherically recorded. I've always liked his earlier VPO recording as well. I'm not sure I agree that this Lucerne recording has 2nd and 3rd movements that are mediocre. I think, especially in the third, that Abbado is much less controlled than is his norm; I found it visceral, and the quality of the playing absolutely stunning. Whatever our differences, there are simply no conductors around today who can do a Mahler 9 like Abbado - with the only exception of James Levine who to my ears has always been extraordinary in this work (his Philadelphia M9 is still one of the very greatest).
ReplyDeleteDear Angel,
ReplyDeleteI have never heard Levine's Mahler 9 cuz he's not the man that in my opinion, good at conducting. As for Mahler 9, I also recommend Chailly & RCO version. Simply a perfect live perdormance if only the first movement could be a little bit slow. Sinopoli is also good, especially with Staatskapelle Dresden in Profil.
Duke, thanks for the post.
ReplyDeleteI've a question re. your rip source. Is it a DVD og blu-ray disc?
I'm asking 'cause the back cover of the disc in your post shows "DVD9" and "DTS-HD MA" which is a contradictory information. The back cover of the Amazon DVD shows DTS 5.1 for the DVD9 disc which is the DVD standard for the DTS encoded audio. DTS-HD MA is supposed to be on the blu-ray disc.
朋友！十年过去了还有资源吗！
