Firstly,i'd like to commend the writer below who draws attention to this horrible critic called Cassidy who contributed significantly to Kubelik's downfall in Chicago....a truly miserable affair.Why is there an arts centre named in her honour??!!!Kubelik's Mahler stands the test of time very well (the most recommendable complete cycle on the market by some margin):there's a freshness and lyricicsm minus that self pitying streak which grounds so many Mahler interpratations.
