Win the Complete Mahler Symphonies

One Reader will receive the Complete Mahler Symphonies conducted by Leonard Bernstein.

rules and requirements listed below

Interchanging Idioms is working in conjunction with Sony Masterworks to give ONE lucky readers a classic CD - the Complete Mahler Symphonies as conducted by Leonard Bernstein.

The specially priced 12-CD set, Mahler: The Complete Symphonies, features Leonard Bernstein conducting the New York Philharmonic in Mahler’s Symphonies Nos. 1–7 and 9. He conducts the London Symphony Orchestra for Symphony No. 8 (“Symphony of a Thousand”) and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra for the song-symphony Das Lied von der Erde. The first movement of the unfinished Symphony No. 10 is also included.

When Bernstein decided to record the complete symphonies, the New York Philharmonic already had a profound connection to Mahler. Mahler’s music directorship of the Philharmonic was his last before he died, and he had led the orchestra in many of his own works. In Bernstein’s second season as the Philharmonic’s music director in 1959–60, he chose to preside over a Mahler festival to celebrate the centennial of Mahler’s birth and the 50th anniversary of his appointment as the Philharmonic’s music director. The idea of the recording project was borne of that endeavor.

Very cool contest idea - I love the blending of pulling classical music lovers in with the technical bent. Unfortunately, I don't spend much time on YouTube, and my chances of stumbling across such a video (or accidentally creating my own) are frighteningly low...

Here's a hint...

go to http://www.youtube.com

Then search for "Mahler Symphony" - you'll pull up 10 choices right away with 10 more pages of videos to choose from. So, the contest isn't as hard as it looks.
