This was a great presentation! As a horn player myself, they did a fantastic job as well. During the coda, I noticed that the conductor chose not to use the optional trumpet and trombone to strengthen the heroic horn line and I actually like that but the horns just got buried a bit too much for me. I wonder if the acoustics in the hall would have accommodated them better if the horns would have turned to their left as if facing the timpani, allowing their bells to point almost directly toward the audience. This would definitely allow the horn to project considerably better and could have balanced more against the 'heavy brass' (ie: Trumpets, trombones and tuba). Just thinking here, but would Wagner horns have been better for Mahler's first?
Mr. Ohno and to whom it may concern. I have never either insulted or evaluated you. I have just re-translated Michelangeli interview simply because the original translator's translation makes Michelangeli a fool crazed person. I made a website by enhanced with the links from MLB to Echelon to my playing of Brahms Rhapsody by all indicating as molds (the question here is those were white molds with my playing as red mold - no black or blue molds were employed). That you hate me should be your personal issue. Not with me who doesn't count your music as music (well, well played in fact [bravo to orchestra]), but with such grudge, I can't call it music. Music is not to express your personal grudge as Wilhelm Furtwängler, Evgeny Mravinsky, Vladimir Horowitz to Leonard Bernstein used music as their political weapon with fury. Hence, the question: Is grudge and fury the same emotional state? I think not).
