Mahler Fans

歐梵教授說得好:貝多芬就是貝多芬,他的音樂很好就是了,沒有什麼好迷的。只有馬勒才有迷的。也許還可以加上華格納。我同意。馬勒迷只有看見馬勒的CD,而是自己沒有的,總會想聽聽這個版本有什麼不同的地方。

Lucerne Festival in Beijing


Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! Mahler 1 will never be the same for me after I attended this live performance by the Lucerne Festival Orchestra under Maestro Abbado!

Claude Debussy: Préludes


Bumped into this Debussy's Préludes by Zimerman in the second hand CD shop in Mongkok yesterday. I haven't seen it for a long time and I have always wanted to have a set. The price was HKD98!

Many opined that that the sound of this recording is harsh. I shall find out soon.
