mahler's 9th

yeah, terry -- i wound up chumping on pablo (had to open the market in the morning), but the mahler symphony was ace. my dtr sez, "the first movement was the most emo, and i always ignore the dance pieces [like the second movement]. the third movement was crowd-surfing all the way." and of course, after all those fireworks, the big affective payoff came in the fourth movement. had great seats, too -- for which thanks, paul. my sweetie 'n' i agree we need to do this more often. (my dtr and her b-f do; he actually has a tatt that reads "rockin' with rachmaninoff" -- and he's going in the _army_.)
