I was in Roon "explore" mode the other night comparing some versions of M1 to each other and came across this totally by happen stance. I never heard of Daniel Harding previously . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Harding
A protege of Simon Rattle, and now 45 years old, he has a surprising number of Mahler recordings under his belt. I was very impressed. This guy's got the goods when it comes to Mahler! I look forward to exploring his recordings more. When the NY Phil looks to replace Jaap Van Zweeden next year, I hope they consider this guy. (I'm also rooting for Marin Alsop). The only down side is that he flies his own plane. (I really hope he stops doing that!)

Shame the long gone Çedille full catalog purchase option was delivered so poorly as it was potentially great value for money if you didn't require the physical product.

Anyone remember reading stories of scandalously unartistic performances deemed too intoxicating for lowly uneducated peasants to consume without inducing lifelong madness and hysteria? This is like that.

From the booklet:

Max Bruch was very successful not only as a composer but also as a conductor and teacher. In 1891 he took over the most advanced classes in composition in Berlin. His pupils included Ottorino Respighi and Ralph Vaughan Williams. His comment to Vaughan Williams: ‘You must not write eye music, you must write ear music’ clearly shows Bruch’s credo as a composer.

Antonio Vivaldi: 12 Concertos, Op. 4 “La Stravaganza”

The Academy of Ancient Music - - Christopher Hogwood

1970 Connoisseur Society release given anonymous digital mastering and reissue on streaming. Provided art is poorly recycled, laughably so.

Unique low wattage playing style Moszkowski's 15 Virtuoso Études is far from thrown together as might be surmised by digital packaging.
