[edit] Cooke versions

There is a bit of misinterpretation about the various performing versions prepared by Deryck Cooke, which I tried to fix.

Here are the facts:

• Cooke "0" - (1960, unpublished): BBC performance, completed 1st, 3rd and 5th movements plus fragments from 2nd and 4th movements
• Cooke I - first complete performing version (1960-1964; unpublished)
  Premiered in 1964 by Berthold Goldschmidt; basis for the recordings by Ormandy (1965/66) and Martinon (1966)
• Cooke II - second performing version (1966-1972; appeared in print in 1976)
  premiered in 1972 by Berthold Goldschmidt; basis for all recordings from 1972 to 1992
• Cooke III - third performing version (1972-1975; printed posthumously in 1989)
  various reading errors adjusted and enhanced by considerations concerning performance

From the booklet of Eliahu Inbal's recording (1992): "The revised version of the full score published in 1976 (the first edition of Cooke's second performing version) was published in parallel with a decipherment of the short score in places where Mahler had not left an orchestral part. [...] The second edition (Cooke's third version) of the score was published in 1989 after Cooke's death, but the performance on the present recording is based on the first edition (Cooke's second version)."

I copied the summary and the link to the article page. Don't have an exact cite for the summary, but it seems to gibe w/, and sum up well, what's already there. Why do people hide useful content and needed cites on talk pages? —Turangalila (talk) 08:55, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
