As a passionate admirer of Mahler, I'm surprised to find that I like Cain's stuff, too. I feel a little odd saying so, because most of the time I'm extremely picky about how GM is interpreted, and even some of the most well-respected conductors' work in Mahler sometimes has me grinding my teeth in consternation and hurling the CD case across the room over some minor perceived indiscretion. Yet Cain, whose interpretations usually owe more to Captain Beefheart than Bruno Walter, always brings a smile to my face. He's also suprisingly well-received by Mahlerians in general, it seems. Go figure.Part of the reason may be that GM's music lends itself to this sort of thing relatively easily: his use of folk material includes all sorts of absurd/vulgar/openly nostalgic/out-and-out silly popular songs, cabaret bands, street musicians, etc. So maybe it's not as much of a shock to hear a thrash rock version of Mahler as it would be of, say, Haydn. Anyway, I think everyone who loves Mahler ought to hear Cain at least once.
BTW, has anyone heard Cain's work with other composers? He's done a CD of Goldberg Variations, I believe, and some others?
