Ok fine, I'm on this #Mahler kick. Started this morning with Claudio Abbado's 1st with the CSO, followed by Bernstein 's 1st with the #NewYorkPhilharmonic . To my surprise, I prefer the #bernstein .
I know, I know, Bernstein was SUCH a showman, but his flamboyance really works with the grandeur of humble Gustav.
#BernardHaitink and the #ConcertgebouwOrchestra have been my "GoTo" for Mahler since I was a kid, but here I am, expanding my alleged horizons.
Just had the most wonderful talk with Andrew Manze on #VaughanWilliams and #Elgar
Very much looking forward to this programme with the #ConcertgebouwOrchestra

Radio 4 is in de ochtend niet helemaal zo mijn ding, te veel korte stukjes. "Gezellige" presentatie en nog wel eens wat itempjes. Terwijl ik nu door wil werken met wat langer stuk op de achtergrond. Gelukkig is hun "concerten" pagina een uitkomst en #Beethoven 's Pastorale symfonie een fijn stuk werkmuziek ;-) #concertgebouw orkest, Daniel Harding.
