	Mahler Symphony No 10 - comparative review by tony Duggan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In 1960 Deryck Cooke was on the staff at the BBC and preparing a booklet to accompany Mahler Centenary concerts in 1960.
		Deryck Cooke had this to say about the work in general and why it is vitally important we consider it in the form it was left: "It shows clearly that Mahler, far from plunging further into preoccupation with death, was moving towards a more vitally creative attitude...
		Deryck Cooke writes of this: "It is highly unlikely that Mahler intended an exact repetition of bars 7-34 (he has already contracted and varied bars 1-6 and bars 122-125), but in the absence of sketch material for bars 126-153 a Performing Version can do no more than this.

		Cooke explicates a large number of leitmotivs and shows how they are related and transformed in the course of the action of the Ring cycle.
		Beyond its pedagogical intent, Cooke's presentation is also a nice introduction to Wagner's incredible achievement in matching the formal architecture of the music, the dramatic action, his presentation of the underlying themes, and all in powerful and often wonderful music.
		Deryck Cooke's lecture series upon THE RING is almost as much a classic by now as the Solti RING cycle, with which it was originally issued on LP, and from which it derives its musical examples.

	Mahler Symphony No 10 Carpenter completion [TD] : Classical Reviews- May 2003 MusicWeb(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Deryck Cooke’s well-known and well-recorded version already does this admirably and I have yet to be convinced that anyone really needs to go further than a performance or a recording of the final version of Cooke’s score.
		If you only ever listen to the Deryck Cooke version of this work I do assure you that you are as close to Mahler’s Tenth as you are ever likely to be this side of heaven and you could leave it there with impunity for the rest of your days.
		The problem is that it goes much further than the Cooke version in trying to "second guess" what Mahler might have done from then on rather than present what we have been left with in, more or less, acceptable performing trim which is what Cooke does with creative restraint.

	Mahler's Unfinished Tenth
		The standard version, and the one that will be broadcast on March 5 on Radio-Canada's Chaîne culturelle, was realized by Deryck Cooke with the help of Berthold Goldschmidt over the course of three decades, in three versions, all of which have been aired and recorded.
		Cooke was an extremely sensitive musicologist, with an unparalleled knowledge of Mahler's symphonic oeuvre that came to his aid in places where it was necessary to supply counterpoint and orchestration.
		But these seem to be fairly minor objections to Cooke's "performing edition"--a term he coined in the firm belief that Mahler would have revised the work in the process of fully orchestrating it, a task the composer set aside in favour of making revisions to the ninth symphony in the winter of 1910-11.

	Wagner's Ring Riddles Solved
		Cooke discusses accounts of other commentators and scholars, including those of Newman, Donnington, and Shaw.
		Donnington, who relies on a Jungian explanation, even resorts to calling RL not a renunciation at all, but the motive of "acceptance of infantile fantasies." The problem with the leitmotifs in general, Cooke says, is that scholars blindly followed Wolzogen's original labels.
		Cooke also refers to motive B as representing love in its "totality".

	Amazon.com: Mahler: Symphony No. 10 (Prepared by D. Cooke): Music: Gustav Mahler,Eliahu Inbal,Frankfurt Radio Symphony ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		A lot of words have been spent about the reconstruction, effected by Deryck Cooke, of the rests of Mahler's tenth symphony, whose original scores are complete only (even if in a non-definitive way) in the andante-adagio (well known and more times recorded) and in the movement denominated "Purgatorio".
		Really, I think that Cooke's work is worty to be approved because, with great intellectual honesty, Cooke himself called his realization " a performing version of the draft for the tenth symphony" and he was always concerned to stress that it was in no sense a completion, since only Mahler himself could have.
		Cooke wanted so to make sensitive what the symphony was at the moment of the death of Mahler, and not a pretentious reconstruction of what doesn't exist.

	Gustav Mahler "Symphony No. 10"
		With the help of composer and conductor Berthold Goldschmidt, Cooke developed a nearly complete score that was first performed under the direction of Goldschmidt by the Philharmonia Orchestra for the BBC on December 19, 1960.
		After this performance, Cooke was determined to complete a full score, and on August 13, 1964 Goldschmidt once again premiered Cooke's newly revised version with the London Symphony Orchestra.
		Deryck Cooke's version is far more conservative, staying as close as possible to what Mahler originally sketched for the symphony.

		Alma Mahler, in a letter to Deryck Cooke, May 1963, after she had finally been persuaded to listen to a tape of his "performing version".
		As Peter Gammond once put it, Mahler's attempts to emulate Schubert with an unfinished symphony were frustrated by Deryck Cooke with his "performing version" of the tenth.
		Rattle's version is of the complete Cooke revision, with a few minor emendations by the conductor, and is excellent, although the Bournemouth Symphony is not the world's finest orchestra.

		unfortunately, deryck cooke died before he finished his survey.
		This book was to have been the first of a two-volume set, but sadly Deryck Cooke passed away before his monumental exposition could be fully realized.
		The author presents a very convincing thesis that far from being a disjointed, poorly conceived work, Rheingold, by comparison to the extremely disparate and incoherent nature of the source material, is in fact a very compact and concentrated story.

		I love the original Cooke version by Ormandy but the fact is, its one of the most emotionally wrenching pieces of music I have ever heard to the point I am rarely up to it.
		Cooke may have had to invent more than current musicologists would permit, but you know its close to dead-on when you get the full Mahlerian wallup.
		Yet, as Cooke points out in his useful notes on the Tenth in "Gustav Mahler: An Introduction To His Music," this final work from the master conforms to his tendency by ending, not in the minor, but in the major.

		The tape was made from a 1960 BBC broadcast of an orchestrated version of the symphony prepared for performance by English Musicologist Deryck Cooke.
		After one performance, Cooke's work was withdrawn at the insistence of Mahler's widow, but it lives on in a number of jealously guarded pirated recordings.
		Cooke's Tenth may not be Mahler's, but in time it could conceivably become the accepted version.

		But Cooke was not the only, nor the first, to study Mahler's manuscripts and attempt a completion.
		Now that all four completions have been recorded it is possible to compare them (at least aurally, scores are only available for the Cooke to my certain knowledge), and one thing quickly becomes clear: their similarities are far greater than their differences.
		In 1963, when the octogenarian Alma was finally persuaded to listen to a tape of Cooke's initial broadcast, she was so moved that she lifted the ban and remarked that she "had not realized there was so much Mahler in it." The essential similarities between the four "completions" serve to underline her point.

	Sounds & Fury: I Saw The World End
		On and off over the past few months, I've been reading Deryck Cooke's I Saw The World End, an unfinished study (Cooke's untimely death in 1976 prevented its completion) of Wagner's great tetralogy, Der Ring des Nibelungen.
		One cannot help but conclude that Cooke, by his extensive researches into the biographical background of, and sources for, the Ring, has been led astray by that which is extrinsic to the artwork itself.
		I've previously and elsewhere more than once declared that all genuine works of art, and most particularly those works of art which are the products of authentic genius, are totally self-contained entities, and require nothing extrinsic to themselves to be understood fully, all that's required for such understanding being contained within the artworks themselves.

		I also don't find the minor additions and adjustments made by the Mathews brothers to the second and third Cooke versions to be helpful; or an improvement in any way.
		The CD is a bit up close in its reproduction, resulting in a few areas of stridency, but in all, it does the LPs justice.
		I prefer the earlier Cooke version because of its spareness, and those Philadelphia strings really can't be beat (I think they used to call them 'lush.') It's a good introduction to Mahler, too, for friends who aren't into classical music.

		Still, only minimal apology need be made for 10, whether in the through-composed if half-orchestrated state in which Mahler left it at his death, or in any of the remarkably responsible "performing versions" the polishing of which occupied much of the last 16 years of Deryck Cooke's life.
		As Cooke was always at pains to point out, 90% of Symphony 10 is pure, unadulterated Mahler.
		Though there is a mere six seconds' difference between the two performances, I much prefer the Cooke version, which, whether due to Inbal or Cooke or both, sounds a good bit meatier.

	Mahler 10/Rattle
		Sir Simon's second recording of the "Mahler Tenth," as it has come to be known world- wide, was culled from performances in the Neue Philharmonie at Berlin on September 24-25, 1999—his first there since the announcement that he would succeed Claudio Abbado as music director of Germany's premiere orchestra.
		This new one bears the legend printed in the headnote, but poring over a lot of literature I find that the two Matthews brothers—whom the late Cooke credited, along with Goldschmidt, in his superbly concise An Introduction to [Mahler's] Music (Cambridge soft-cover)—have done retouching since Cooke's death in 1976, some of which is overkill.
		As I have listened and relistened, it is a misleading except in the final movement, where Sir Simon lets his wind soloists and upper strings sing rapturously, none more so than Berlin's superlative solo flute.

	Dogsticks: Book Reviews - Music
		Arguing against the claims of the likes of Stravinsky and Hindemith that the scales and idioms of western music are ultimately arbitrary, Cooke insists on the fundamental role of physical harmonics in music appreciation.
		This book predates Deryck Cooke's 'The Language of Music' by a couple of years, and its discussion of the emotional resonances of tonality seems pretty obtuse in comparison (Meyer essentially maintaining that our associations of particular intervals with particular meanings is wholly arbitrary and culturally conditioned).
		Also, compared to Cooke's engaging prose, Meyer's is decidedly dry and academic.

		A key purpose of the present study is to demonstrate how completely absurd it is to treat it as just another opera, and that it can best be understood as a work of drama expressing a unified philosophy or world-view.
		George Bernard Shaw’s Socialist, and Robert Donington’s Jungian interpretations are universally regarded as one-sided and incomplete today, and the most serious effort to encompass the entire work in a single study, by Deryck Cooke, was left incomplete by his premature death.
		It is the first attempt since Deryck Cooke’s passing to provide a comprehensive conceptual interpretation of Wagner’s Ring (and his other canonical artworks) which includes a complete assessment of its poem and music.

		Mahler's last symphony was written out only in sketch form and fleshed out by Cooke
		Thanks is due to musicologist Deryck Cooke, who in 1964 was the first to cobble together an acceptable performing version from sketches.
		(There have been three versions by Cooke: program notes indicate that this is the first.) The opening is the heart-breaking Adagio, which initially takes on a valedictory tone, then two-thirds of the way through jars us with its disquieting figures.

		Simon Rattle's new Berlin recording offers perhaps a more highly inflected, characterful performance, but Chailly has both the better playing and sound, and this pays particular dividends in the dark, rich string textures of the opening and closing movements.
		Both Rattle and Chailly use Deryck Cooke's revised performing version (Chailly sticks to it more literally than does Rattle), and this remains the edition of choice.
		I remain firmly convinced that with a little retouching (the addition of some genuinely Mahlerian percussion parts and a harder, more wind-based sonority in the second movement), we could have an even more authentic Mahler sound while retaining the lion's share of Cooke's achievement.
