At least that's what Deutsche Grammophon wants, since they want us to buy their CDs. But just how often does one buy Mahler's tenth symphony, the one he didn't bother to finish? Just yesterday, scouts honor, I watched an opera, by Ergo Phizmiz, great stuff and had a conversation about symphonies. So I play Dvorak's 'From the new world' quite a bit, occasionally Shostakovich's seventh (funny first part) and very rarely Gorecki's third, but like said yesterday 'I'm not that often depressed'. So never Mahler, but then I also I never anything by Matthew Herbert. Oh he was so hot, that night I saw him on stage, breaking bottles and oh, there is a groove out of that. I think Herbert is a boring guy with too many tales up his sleeve. So this guy recomposes the tenth of Mahler. Suppose I like Mahler, would I then rush out to buy all work by Herbert? Oh no, wrong intention. I should like Herbert and now be rushing out to get all Mahler, on DG preferably. Another boring CD born in a poor's man marketing mind. No doubt to get raving reviews elsewhere." (FdW review extract )
