I was sorely tempted,when the vinyl collection was first offered, to order a set. But the price was so ridiculously high, and so obviously gouging, that I just couldn't quite bring myself to place the order. I wish them luck finding another 500 suck...er, I mean "aficionados." ;)
Mahler Project on LP
Just wanted to let folks know that if you love Mahler and you love vinyl that the San Francisco Symphony just announced that they would if demand was high enough they would press 500 more box sets of Mahler's complete cycle. I own this set and I am very, very impressed. I own many other Mahler works on lp by all the great conductors of the 20th century (Walter, Bernstein, Barberoli,Klemperer ect.) and this set is equal to them in many ways. AND the Sound is Fantastic! The Vinyl is quiet and the dynamics are not like any classical album I own. It's great fun.
