Also, there's a Columbia recording of Glenn Gould playing Liszt's transcription of Beethoven's 5th. Not only is it interesting listening, but the liner notes alone are worth the price.

My copy was played by Cypron Kyrstas (I think that's the name, anyway) on the ``Mark Allen Concert Grand #1''. It's pressed by Teldec, and I bought it through MHS at their standard ridiculous price of $16.99 (it's $23.99 for people who don't get the catalog/purchase subsrciption). A virtuoso transcription: Kyrstas actually fills in a few melodic lines that Liszt left out. And an impressive piece of music, though the finale is not quite up to the rest of the work. The first three movemnts are a joy, though. -- from Mole End Mark Terribile (scrape .. dig ) hou4b!mat on 5/1/85 ..,,. mtx5b!mat ,.. .,, ,,, ..,***_*.

As long as lots of people are talking about the ninth, I'd like to ask a
question.
Does anybody know any good recordings of it that include all repeats?
Specifically, most conductors leave out the repeat in the second movement
35 measures after letter K. (That's a big repeat back to almost the beginning.)
I really like that ending, and I notice when it isn't there.
The only (commercial) recording I have that has the first ending is the
Toscanini with Eileen Farrell, Nan Merriman, Jan Peerce, Norman Scott, and
the Robert Shaw Chorale.
I know the following recordings skip the first ending:
--- L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Ernest Ansermet ...
--- Wiener Philharmoniker, Leonard Bernstein ...

He worked on and off on the 9th for years, and was never really satisfied. My memory of this is a bit fuzzy. There are piano transcriptions of the 9 symphonies by others. If anyone knows of Liszt transcriptions I would love to hear about them, as well as info about recordings and/or scores. I have the recording Gordon refers to and it is very good; especially the Pastoral. Thanks, Ed Hummel ...!ihnp4!clyde!bonnie!emh
