While reading the LSO Principal thread, I started thinking about the LSO Mahler recordings that I know MM is playing 1st on, and there aren't that many. The LSO has never recorded a complete Mahler cycle until now with Gergiev, and it seems that a variety of different players have been playing principal in this series! The LSO often makes recordings on smaller labels that aren't that well known on our side of the pond, plus the fact that the LSO has two principal trumpet players makes it confusing sometimes to know who is playing on any given recording.
His name is listed on some that I have, including the James DePriest Mahler 5 on Naxos from 2005, the Mariss Jansons Mahler 6 on LSO Live from 2002, and the classic MTT Mahler 3 on CBS from 1987. I know he's playing on the MTT Mahler 7 because a friend was at the live concert the day before they made the recording. I've always figured it was MM on the Gilbert Kaplan Mahler 2, but does anyone know for sure? Harold Faberman made a series of Mahler recordings with the LSO on the Vox label - I have the 6th Symphony and it's a very fine recording. He also made recordings of Mahler 1, 4, and 5 - does anyone know about first trumpet on those?
Are there any others I don't know of??? Also, who is playing first on the Gergiev Mahlers that have been released so far??

I just remembered, there's also a bootleg DVD recorded off of Japanese television out there of MM playing Mahler 5 on tour in Japan conducted by Myung-Whun Chung from just a few years ago. Camera work is frustrating from a trumpet player's point of view. For example during the opening solo the camera is on the conductor?!?!?!?!!!!

Not sure about recordings (can email Maurice and ask, if you wish), but I was present for his last Mahler 5 in the UK with the orchestra (his final, final retirement concert ).
No recording released (to the best of my knowledge), I just wanted to be smug about the fact that I WAS THERE
yeah, it was awesome. |
