Xpost to my ears they stopped doing it around June 2013. Or they dialed it back to a level that's not evident to my hearing.

I came to this thread to post Gottfried Michael Koenig not realizing I'd posted Gottfried Michael Koenig here five years ago. Anyway, Gottfried Michael Koenig is still alive and is now 94. Kurtág is older by ca. 9 months.

RIP gottfried michael koenig (b 1926), literally last man standing. along w/xenakis & GENDY + brün & "sawdust," GMK was one of the first to conceptualize synthesis at sample level w/his Sound Synthesis Program (SSP), allowing for micro<->macro organization https://t.co/mRNi7aaoqv pic.twitter.com/xmlW9Ftfws— callahan (@IRCAM_official) January 3, 2022

I jinxed him by talking about him in this thread all the time.

The Bartok, Debussy, Bruckner and Messiaen from his DG/Universal era are incredible. His Mahler cycle is uneven - #5,7 and Das Lied don’t really work and #6 and 9 are half brilliant. #1-4 and 8 are amazing. The Webern cycle and his own works are intoxicatingly exquisite which I understand is not what some people want from this music - I’ve seen a lot of preference for the Columbia versions as having more bite. I think this kind of jewelry for the ears is exactly what he does best as a conductor though and I mean that as high praise.

His Mahler 6 has always been my favourite version of that work. Recently I've been huffing his Schoenberg Pelleas, I love it so much.

Man his Mahler 6 is really close, there’s a lot I really love about it. I’m due a relisten, I’ve probably heard it ten times but not in the last three or so years
