...symphony. Several Mahlerites have fleshed out the last movements, including British Composer Deryck Cooke (TIME, Nov. 26), whose inspired and faithful version was used for this first recording.

It is a melody-drenched, emotional and yet finally serene farewell to life, love and lyre. Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra give the work a smooth and haunting performance...

Answered Christ: "O my chosen one, Peter, and you, my fellow heirs, I have not hidden anything from you ever concerning which you have asked me, nor shall I hide anything from you. Ask me anything that you wish to know, and I shall reveal it to you." Peter then asked Jesus to explain the mystery of the Cross, and why he will carry it at the Last Judgment. "O my chosen...
