Default 'Tant pis' indeed....


Anybody catch the Mahler just now?

I don't know if my ears are being poisoned by the fullrange speakers I'm
using atm, but the sound off the telly (external amp Sony, Ruark speakers)
was almost unlistenable with the Mahler 1 on tonight's Prom. Are we being
compressed again (digital channel)?

Also the tempo - was it me (I've only got about a dozen different Mahler
1s...) or was it a bit swift/nippy throughout? At 55 minutes duration (which
I saw somewhere - maybe on the website) it certainly isn't *extended* and, I
have to say, it sounded like it was just the one long, hurried movement to
me....

It should have been a good listen, it wasn't - I never have too great
expectations of 'youth orchestras' (especially ones which are a bit thin on
the ground) but this performance pretty soon proved to be a 'mainly visual'
experience....

'Tant pis' indeed....!!
