Steve Schwartz wrote on Mahler Second recordings: >Of the ones I've heard, I most like Walter and Kubelik. Klemperer I find >just plain too slow I find that very puzzling. Which version have you heard? In his main recordings of Mahler 2 in speed terms Klemperer is faster than most. This is why his recordings of the Mahler 2nd can be fitted on to one compact disc. There is a "live" one from 1971 on Arkadia which is slow but Klemperer was very old then and that was when he became slower in all his performances. Tony Duggan, England
