I came to realize that, despite a rich
tradition of Mahler performances in the Soviet Union and other Eastern
European countries, I'm unfamiliar with these. What are some
recommendations for Eastern European Mahler recordings, especially
from the 1960s and 1970s, that are "must-hears"?

In this amazingly interesting interview,Maestro Ansermet touches on
his Method. Pay attention to what he says about where he got the
members of the SRO in 1918. But that was only a start. He heavily
modified each section's method to suit his. But his choices were where
he had to start. Notice he eschews French Brass players and string
players. His winds, for example, have the wonderful advantages of the
French Style but not the deficiencies.These deficincies prevented them
from playing the Ansermet Method so he retrained them his way. The
same with the Vienesse brass.Or as one put it,the double reeds did not
have the nasal quality of the oboes in Paris not the saxophone like
sound of the bassoons in Paris.

This is also relevant

"He very often asked the strings section to play on the fingerboard,
without too much vibrato and with long strokes of the bow. In this
connection, he liked to quote Leopold Mozart (Father of Wolfgang
Amadeus the Composer and the leading Violinist of his time) who
recommended playing without too much vibrato so as to retain the
expression of the Music. In using the strings in this particular way,
Ansermet ran counter to the concept of present day conductors who
hardly practice this technique any more but always call for an intense
vibrato. It is for this reason that we have excellent orchestras
practically everywhere nowadays but without any character of their
own, orchestras which all sound alike, regardless of the country of
origin"

Paul Rudhardt, Viola Player OSR (translated from French)

well. For a feature story on the Classic Film Scores series, and a listing

If you can say why, that's good, but you don't
have to. I'm especially interested in CDs that are available now, but if you
have an oldie you like very much, don't hesitate to tell us.

Of the recordings I have, my favorites are Scherchen (from Rolf's mp3 files
of the 1954 Westminster LP recording), Fey, and Paavo Jarvi. I used to love
Muti long ago, but I don't listen to it very often any more.

My daughter-in-law and I will be studying Beethoven's fourth symphony
together soon. I have already made her a CD from Rolf's mp3 files of
Scherchen. I think I will buy her a copy of Fey or Jarvi, but I haven't
figured out yet which one I like better! I'm not asking you to tell me which
one I should buy for my daughter-in-law, but I would find comments about
either of those CDs especially interesting.
