Looking at his itinerary, my guess is that Boulez will record Mahler’s Second this May in Vienna. M2 is about the only symphony of Mahler that he hasn’t recently recorded. However, until May, Boulez is busy conducting several concerts in Chicago, Berlin, New York, Cleveland, London, Budapest…and sometime this month he turns 80 (looks like in Berlin). A dynamo since 1945, his career in music wore well with him, if not others.

Not sure how Boulez will do with Mahler’s Second. I haven’t heard M2 much. When I did hear it on the radio, I thought, “hey, I’ve heard that…that’s a take off of Sinfonia by Berio”. (And, of course, it’s the reverse that’s true.)
