Talk:Deryck Cooke

Untitled[edit]

Thanks for your Mahler article! Deryck Cooke produced two performance versions of the 10th. The first version had its world premier at the Proms in 1964 and was recorded by Eugene Ormandy and the Philidelphia Orchestra (on Columbia, I believe, though it could have been RCA - I don't have this recording) in the late sixties. He then revised this version with the help of a young Mahler scholar and this version was recorded by Wynn Morris and the Philharmonia Orchestra on Philips in the early seventies. It is this beautifully recorded version that introduced me to the work and it is still my sentimental favorite. I do greatly admire Rattle as well and heard him perform the complete 10th in 1979 or 1980 in San Francisco and own the recording you mention as well as the later Berlin redo. He is my favorite Mahlerian (live and in person) going now. I've heard hin conduct both a second and fourth over the years. Unfortunatley, the sound quality that EMI produces is very disappointing. I still love that old Phillips analog recording. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.206.89.237 (talk • contribs) 07:46, 11 May 2004.

Actually, Cooke produced four performing versions of the 10th, the first of them incomplete, cf. Symphony No. 10 (Mahler). --FordPrefect42 15:04, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Deeply regrettable"[edit]

Although most people would agree that someone's death at age 57 is "deeply regrettable", this doesn't seem like the sort of opinion that ought to be in an encyclopedia article. I suggest changing it to more neutral language. 64.95.16.243 (talk) 18:52, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DOD[edit]

DOD October 27th came in here unsourced. I cannot find reliable external support for this. Obituaries in The Gramophone and International Music Guide, BNF catalogue entry, Grove Music Online and MGG agree that he actually died october 26th. I am changing the article. --FordPrefect42 (talk) 14:17, 9 July 2019 (UTC) - PS: obituary in Musical Times likeweise. --FordPrefect42 (talk) 14:21, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
