Diving deep in the world of Gustav...
Well Michel! One of the clearest traces of Mahlerian sound is exactly 9:28 minutes into the clip where Bernstein conducts!
I will of course find more examples ... now that I have persisted in stating that there is a clear connection between them.
It's Shosta's orchestration that sometimes is very Mahlerian!
I have listenened a lot to Mahler symphonies, and I know when I hear that special Gustav sound... so when I read that Leonard also had observed this, I felt it could be interesting to mention it!
One thought struck me! A person that has only listened a lot to Shosta, may not be able to hear what's Mahlerian, if he has not been diving deep into Gustav's world!
