Re: A question for classical music lovers

Jim,

This is available on DVD, which strikes me as the simplest route:

Also, depending on where you're located, it may be worth checking with your local library. Here in Michigan, an online network of more than 400 public libraries shares amongst their members (a fantastic resource). It looks like one library has Symphony 2 on VHS; another has #1-3 on DVD; and a third has the complete set of 9 DVDs. Worth a shot with your own library, maybe?

Apologies for the length of this message; I hope I¡¯ll get some forgiveness because much of it sets the stage for why it¡¯s so important to me.

If someone were to ask me what piece of music and what performance I¡¯d choose if time travel permitted it, it would be Leonard Bernstein¡¯s performance of the Mahler 2nd Symphony at Ely Cathedral in England in 1973, conducting the London Symphony Orchestra and the Edinburgh Festival Chorus. Many of you may have watched Bradley Cooper¡¯s attempt to channel that monument in?Maestro, the movie. I¡¯ve just discovered that Deutsche Grammophone released a recording of it in 1974, but they also have an audio-video version available on their subscription website, <>. Unfortunately, permanent access to the recording is not offered.

Here¡¯s the link:


While the technical ¡°quality¡± of both the audio and video betray the era of their creation, the emotion ?by Bernstein, the vocal soloists, and members of the chorus are priceless and timeless.

My question: is there a way to capture this to my own Apple devices (preferably my Mac) that¡¯s both possible and legal, so long as I don¡¯t distribute it to others? Failing that, is it possible to do so without getting arrested if I don¡¯t distribute it?

Extra Credit (no Googling allowed): why is the name ¡°Gilbert Kaplan¡± so relevant to this issue?

And, a movie recommendation: the Oscar-nominated Netflix Documentary The Only Girl in the Orchestra (probably the main reason I¡¯ll watch the Oscars this year).
