there will be no cTotD from May 5-7 as i'll be at whistler . today's track is from mahler 5, one of my favorite symphonies to play if not to listen to:
Gustav Mahler - Symphony No. 5 - IV. Adagietto
<-- sorry, that's the only pic amazon had of this album
mahler 5's first movement (in the weird key of C#) is a veritable trumpet concerto, and the 3rd (in the more typical key of A) could be characterized as one for the french horn. the strings alone hold the 4th movement, a beautiful piece of writing in the rich key of F. the cleveland orchestra is renowned for their string sections' sound and ensemble, and this track shows them off.
