MAHLER<br />
His 10th Symphony<br />
has 5 movements,<br />
Das klagende<br />
Lied has 3!<br />
Numerous experts, aiming to create<br />
a complete and logical work<br />
from <strong>the</strong> framents <strong>of</strong> Gustav<br />
Mahler's 10th Symphony, failed to<br />
do so in <strong>the</strong> true spirit <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> composer.<br />
Rudolf Barshai also dared an<br />
attempt, and <strong>the</strong> results <strong>of</strong> his efforts<br />
have since met with unanimous<br />
approval. Barshai had <strong>of</strong><br />
course <strong>the</strong> advantage <strong>of</strong> sources to<br />
which o<strong>the</strong>rs had not had access.<br />
On 27 November, he conducts <strong>the</strong><br />
10th Symphony in Japan (Gunma<br />
SO) for <strong>the</strong> second time.<br />
Opus 1, as Mahler himself called<br />
Das klagende Lied even many years<br />
later, originated with <strong>the</strong> 3 sections<br />
Waldmärchen, Der Spielmann and<br />
Hochzeitsstück. We can only speculate<br />
as to <strong>the</strong> reason why Waldmärchen<br />
was omitted at <strong>the</strong> première.<br />
Only now is <strong>the</strong> original, 3 movement<br />
version returning to concert<br />
halls, such as on 12 and 13 December<br />
2004, with <strong>the</strong> Staatsorchester<br />
Stuttgart under Lothar Zagrosek.<br />
