Samo Hubad (1917 - 2016), was a Slovenian composer, conductor, and educator. This is an excellent performance!

An excellent performance by a conductor who's been mostly forgotten.

Walter and the NY Phil made a studio recording of this Symphony for Columbia Masterworks the next day: January 25, 1954.

It was January 24, 1954. This was Walter's last performance of Mahler's First with the NY Philharmonic.

Listening now. Sound quality is pretty good! BTW the mezzo is Lorri Lail.

A great performance of one of Britten's greatest works!

The conductor makes three unfortunate cuts in the last movement, and movements 2 through 5 are pitched a half step too high.

Nice to hear from an expert with facts, rather than amateurs with opinions and "tears".

Yeah. Blech. Mahler 3. Stockholm. 1944. Look, I know that ww2 was more complicated than Hollywood made it out to be, but wtf?
@robertwayne3561Ай бұрын
Complicated, indeed! A Jewish conductor still working in Berlin in 1937 travels to conduct in Riga. German press announces his retirement and he's barred from re-entering Germany. In 1941, Riga is under German control, and Blech is allowed to go to Stockholm by Goering's intervention. Hollywood could have made this movie.

@@robertwayne3561 No. Hollywood could not have made this up. The truth is complicated. Hollywood is propaganda. Propaganda is simple. Nazi, Soviet, Allied, Israeli propaganda, it's all over simplified. Like chatbots. Which is why I hate all propaganda and I hate all chatbots. And I'm all but certain that the above recording is totally utterly spurious. Fuuuukin A.

@@ilirllukaci5345 I compliment you because you mix music with politics which is something you should never do but if you want to get angry you do it. In any case the recording is authentic it is not fake because you think so, Leo Blech was actually recorded in Stockholm in Mahler's symphony n.3.

@@Piddo72 I have to listen to it then. It would be an interesting statement. Nietzsche's Midnight Song at that moment. Did you know that Carlos Kleiber was an admirer of Leo Blech? This makes sense to me.

I have to ask. You seem to be an authority. Was Allen Pettersson playing viola in the orchestra then? I have always suspected that Wilhelm Furtwängler the composer of the second symphony was an influence in Pettersson's formative youth during during Furtwängler's visits to Stockholm. The fact that Furtwängler had such distaste for Stockholm's democratic climate only reinforces my theory. Politics and music again.

Recorded sometime between 1928 - 1934, this was the first recording of Nocturnes.

Dorati was an excellent Mahler conductor and performed all the symphonies live throughout his career.

Excellent performance! I hope the first two movements appear someday.

I understand that the second movement exists but there's just a fragment of the first.

Both movements are pitched a half step too high.

Thank you! I've been looking for an unprocessed version of this for a long time. Somebody posted a heavily-filtered one a few years ago, I think, but this sounds much closer to the one on the Arthur Nikisch LP issued by Melodiya. It was just impulse that caused me to look for it today, and I see that you posted it yesterday. Again, thank you!
