Mahler 2 Scherchen Conducting
This recording sounds as compelling and profound today as it did on first-hearing over 30 years ago! The sound is flawless compared to the LP. This will likely always be my favorite Mahler 2!

UNE DES PLUS EXTRAORDINAIRES VERSIONS DE LA ‘’RESURRECTION''
1958 : LA ‘’MALHERITE AIGÜE ne s’était pas encore abattue sur tous ces chefs qui se doivent d’ apporter leur contribution en enregistrant MAHLER…business is business!!! L’interprétation de SCHERCHEN gomme toutes les boursouflures de SOLTI et bien d'autres qui ne ménagent pas leurs effets pour en faire plus que les concurrents; Oubliez vite toutes ces versions bruyantes et savoureux les tempos (PEUT ÊTRE INHABITUELS)mais rigoureux de SCHERCHEN, sa rigueur et la transparence de sa lecture; Version injustement oubliée voire ignorée qui se doit d’être connue de tout bon malhérien; La prise de son est étonnante pour l’époque, ce qui ne gâte rien;
