Guys, I'm really doing somersaults to deliver my dissertation by next Monday. Only seven days (to be honest, five and a half). In all this, even the BBC is moving away from me. Apart from the sickly sweet Tchaikovsky, Mahler sent me. Got who? The soporific Mahler, the Mahler intimate. How would the smurf I ooooooodio Mahler! . Maybe it's the same piece that upsets me: Symphony no.1 is certainly one of his less exalted in my opinion. Do me a consortium of mp3 until Saturday evening when I'll be moving permanently to Bristol?
