I was, but I'm not now.  The Web Master has asked me to break sequence and
do Das Lied and the 4th next since, with the 1st and 2nd, these are the
entry level/most loved/most popular works.  Heaven knows what order I will
have ended up doing them in.

As to revisions, I'm really not thinking in those terms.  To me, so many
Mahler recordings can be regarded as "benchmarks" and it's this concept
that I'm keeping in mind.  Apart from that I'm not able to keep up with
all the new recordings anyway.
