#MahlerToday Exactly 116 years ago, one of the biggest treasures for Mahler lovers was created: the Welte-Mignon recordings of Mahler playing 4 of his works on the piano.
He recorded all in a single session on November 9th, 1905 at the Welte-Mignon recording studios in Leipzig.
According to texts published by the Welte company, "the artists were seated before a grand piano equipped with the Welte system, it automatically replayed the tempo, phrasing, dynamics, and pedalling of a particular performance, and not just the notes of the music"
Mahler's comments in Welte's visitor's book are briefer than those of most of Welte's other recording artists, but nevertheless, show that he was deeply impressed: 'In astonishment and admiration, I join those who have preceded me [in this book]. Gustav Mahler.'
