What is the origin of Mahler Grooves? In the 1970s, the Mahler Society of Los Angeles produced bumper stickers emblazoned with the slogan MAHLER GROOVES. Former Music Director Leonard Bernstein got his hands on one and stuck it on the first page of his score of Mahler’s Symphony No. 6; that score now lives in the Philharmonic’s Archives! Today we honor the spirit of that bumper sticker with our day-long celebration, Mahler Grooves! Follow along on our social platforms and at nyphil.org/mahlerny to join the fun. #mahlerny #mahlergrooves https://www.instagram.com/p/B_U9YoxjVzA/?igshid=11xm6mq8qnzzi

“What! Is there a Viennese to whom Marillenknoedel means nothing? You will come with me right away to eat the heavenly dish. My sister Justi has her own recipe for it, and we will see if you remain indifferent.” — Gustav Mahler If you can safely procure the ingredients, we invite you to make Mahler’s sister’s recipe for the Marillenknoedel (apricot dumplings) he so passionately loved. 😍 The recipe is from Classical Cooks: A Gastrohistory of Western Music by Ira Braus, provided courtesy of its author. Stay tuned for downloadable recipes from @neuegalerieny‘s Café Sabarsky for a full Viennese meal! #mahlerny https://www.instagram.com/p/B_ScS5sDngc/?igshid=110dt3n29btbv

Double threat! New York Philharmonic English Horn Ryan Roberts performs Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major as both soloists: piano and English Horn. “Finally!! The English Hornist gets to choose the tempo 💁🏻♂️😅🏃🏻. When Ravel was praised for the beauty of this melody, he responded, ‘That flowing phrase! How I worked over it bar by bar! It nearly killed me!’ I think oboists can relate to this sentiment.” — @ryanjroberts https://www.instagram.com/p/B-sdR3AhNdq/?igshid=3eq7ywdyvfq9

New York Philharmonic cellists Sumire Kudo and Nathan Vickery share part two of Jean-Baptiste Barrière’s Sonata No. 10 in G major: Adagio. Nathan explains how it came together: This [movement] was more difficult, as the music is slower and more sensitive, it took more time and more takes to get it right. I recorded first, and then sent my recording to Sumire. It took a few attempts, but she ended up with a great take to match up with mine. As she told me, the one that worked was after she did some additional careful study of my video. Since we aren’t hearing or communicating with each other live, we have to memorize and anticipate the split-second nuances in advance. I joined the section seven years ago, and have always had a blast playing alongside Sumi. And I knew she would be up for something as tricky and difficult as this project! #nyphil #nyphilharmonic #cello #cellist #barrière #cellosofinstagram #wearenyphil #nyphilathome (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-aNzYMBr2m/?igshid=15jd8oueqjfv
