In an article about Bernstein and Mahler in the NY Times two Sundays
ago composer David Schiff wrote that Wilhelm Furtwangler never performed
a Mahler symphony.  I know this to be untrue recalling having read on
the Mahler List a while back that Furtwangler conducted M1, 2, 3 and 4
on several occasions in Germany and Austria between the two World Wars.
Unfortunately, I don't remember the source of this information.  Does
anyone have a clue? Deryk? Tony?
