Submitted by Anonymous: What was the encore piece that Tim A played last night?
Timo Andres followed up his re-invention of Mozart K537 on Saturday with an arrangement of Mahler’s Des Antonius von Padua Fischpredigt from Des Knaben Wunderhorn. I thought it was a fabulous choice and, like everything Timo does, beautifully executed.
Anyone who has been following the WCFSO for the past several years may recall experiencing some of the same music on our stage [or on Iowa Public TV] in the alternate version Mahler conceived for the third movement of his Second Symphony.
Need a Trauermarsch for your next short film? You’re in luck – my reading of the first movement of Mahler 5 with the WCFSO is now available as a free download from the new Vimeo Music Store [along with other recent performances of music by Mozart, Debussy and Chabrier]. All tracks are Creative Commons-licensed through the Free Music Archive and are ready for download and auteur usage.

A while back I posted a facsimile of this and the rest of the movement – now the manuscript of the entire symphony is indexed at the new Library of Congress Musical Treasures Consortium. The LOC catalogue includes documents from Harvard, Juilliard, and the British, New York Public and Morgan Libraries [the latter is home to the Mahler manuscript posted above]. Other highlights of the Musical Treasures index include significant collections of primary source material related to Brahms, Debussy and Barber.

Mahler grooves, in full color!
So apparently the New York Philharmonic is on Tumblr. Nice – I can finally upgrade this scan [from the actual paper edition of the New York Times] of Leonard Bernstein’s title page enhancement to his Mahler 6 score.

Gustav Mahler, born 150 years ago today. During his lifetime Mahler was more widely known as conductor than as composer, and that’s how his contemporary Emil Orlik captured him in this 1902 sketch.
