Got rid of TIDAL and am using Qobuz now instead. So much better! Qobuz really caters to classical music listeners where with Tidal it's more of an afterthought.

Edward Elgar: Symphony No. 2 in E flat major, Op. 63

Schumann "Ghost Variations". Schumann (not long before going to an asylum) was having dreams where he thought Felix Mendelssohn and another composer I can't think of at the moment were sending him musical themes from The Other Side, which he would write down later and then develop. An article I read said the pieces were 'rarely performed or recorded" anymore, which is too bad because there's some lovely stuff there. Shine on you crazy diamond.

The praise this recording is getting from all the internet classical reviewers is deserved. This is not one of my favorite Mahler symphonies but it is certainly put in its best light here.
