How to resurrect a blog?
Well, making it rise again through a change of rules.
Unfortunately, the rules have been set by me.
Fortunately have been changed by me.
So, remaining firm the concept that I'll not upload recent material,
sometimes in the case of unpublished live concerts we'll get to the '80s.
It may happen that you already have some of these proposals in your collection:
I can't check the whole web to see if it is like this or not,
but I'll try to select the best sources even in case of historical documents already known and widespread.
In particular, this is not the only mahlerian surprise in my drawer.
About this 2nd...
Perhaps a discontinuous and less inspired reading compared to the famous versions "officially" recorded in audio...
and video (with the London Symphony in Ely Cathedral, the most majestic and overwhelming), but full of beautiful moments and worthy of careful listening.
Not to mention the sound of the Cleveland,
already an additional interest.
A summer performance during the Blossom Festival:
so a "casual" audience was present,
also judging by the applause that followed I and II mov.
BTW It's the only appearance of Lenny on the podium of this orchestra;
morover, just in the days of the illness of George Szell, already hospitalized;
he died a few days later (July 30th).
Warning: a bit of tape hiss (untouched) which one must get used to for a while
and a disgraceful little "jump" in the terrifying "collapse" at the very end of the first movement.

So glad that you are again up and running.
GUIDO!!!!! you are BACK!!! I can't believe it!!!! I have worked so hard putting your uploads from way back to share with others..... Am totally and completely GLORIOUSLY HAPPY to see you back...... All my love, I've missed you like mad!!! MARIA IN BUENOS AIRES!!!
Bentornato!!!
Dear Guido,
A huge thank you for your generous shares. I have downloaded the Mahler 2 and some of the Rare Toscaninis. I am really looking forward to listening to these.
Do you have or know where to access a live Toscanini BBC SO performance of Beethoven 5? I read somewhere that it is supposed to be an excellent performance, comparable to his NYPO and 1939 NBC ones.
Best,
Louis
I'm so happy you're back!
You have such wonderful music to share with us!
Thank you so much!
Thanks! Welcome! Ciao a tutti!
@Louis
Well, surely I've the Fifth recorded live on May 12, 1939 (Queen's Hall).
Another BBC performance (may 23, 1938) survives, but I'm not sure about
the authenticity of the source in my possession. I'll check everything in the next days.
Cheers
Guido
Thanks, Guido.
Best,
Louis
Guido, I'm so glad to see you posting your treasures again. I hope you are well.
