Live at the Concertgebouw: "...Every generation needs and desires its own Mahler. At least that is the case in Holland. The Concertgebouw has always been a Mahler sanctuary starting in the days when the Austrian composer Gustav Mahler conducted his own symphonies in Amsterdam. That took place in the early years of the twentieth century. After Mahler’s death in 1911 the Concertgebouw Orchestra’s conductor Willem Mengelberg continued championing Mahler’s symphonies and organized the world’s very first Mahler festival in 1920..."

Een genot om hier naar te mogen luisteren. Het Concertgebouworkest met Haitink. Dat kan nooit kapot.
I second the previous comment, my 'employer' now seems to be blocking the media player from this site. I can listen at home, but not at work. Podcasts please!!
The on-demand broadcasts in the 'Live at the Concertgebouw' series are excellent. However, I do find that having to sit at a computer to listen to them very restrictive. If you could provide these as podcasts, it would enable listeners to easily improve the experience by using proper hi-fi equipment.
