He was my favorite Mahler conductor, bar none. I think his Mendelssohn 4th symphony recording with the London Symphony Orchestra is just magnificent. </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;">I love the giddy energy in that performance and the beautiful lyrical melody lines he brought out in it. It is truly an "Italian" symphony. He will be sorely missed. I had always hoped he would record Mahler's "Das Lied von der Erde". I know there was a video of his performance of that work on the Berlin Philharmonic website but I am not a digital subscriber. </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy;">Eric Cline</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:navy;"><br><br></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;"></span></p></div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in;"><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";"> f_minor [mailto:f_minor-bounces@glenngould.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Pat<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, January 20, 2014 5:36 AM<br><b>To:</b> Discussion of the Canadian pianist Glenn Gould.<br><b>Subject:</b> [f_minor] OT: Abbado</span></p></div></div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"> </p><div><div><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black;">Hi all</span></p></div><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black;"> </span></p></div><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black;">Sad news:</span></p></div><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black;"><a href="http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/jan/20/conductor-claudio-abbado-dies-aged-80" title="http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/jan/20/conductor-claudio-abbado-dies-aged-80" target="_blank">http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/jan/20/conductor-claudio-abbado-dies-aged-80</a></span></p></div><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black;"> </span></p></div><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black;">Pat</span></p></div></div></div></div><br></div> </div></body>
