...(and it repeats tonight) under von Dohnanyi. The Fifth Symphony was middle-of-the-road mittel-Europaenisch, but the Third Concerto with Lars Vogt was decidedly different and very tasty! The pianist, instead of just doing runs and spinning not...

I'll never forget... although it wasn't that long ago...Twenty years, maybe.Symphony Hall, the Leipzigers under Masur.And only an encore: The Egmont Overture.After it was over I turned to my buddy and said, "I think I've just heard Beethoven for the ...

I find Tomsic to be stellar (that word again!). Often I've played it to people to demonstrate how the thing should go. Unfortunately the orchestra is not up to it, them or the conductor, hard to tell.I've heard Tomsic twice in Boston and so far as I'...

Long have I admired this performance, which I acquired on cassette about fifteen years ago. I always took it with me on long trips, although nowadays rental cars do not come equipped with tape players, so I do need the CD.Once, taking a sid...

Well, he had his moments; among them:Mahler 8 at T'wood (c. 1974)Mahler 3 at SH & T'wood (c. 2001)Bartok Concerto for Orch (c. 1971)I'm sure there were more!As for recordings, he has a really, really fine Mendelssohn's Midsummer, an excellent Bee...

"Most manufacturers simply do not have the references necessary to judge their own work." Quite right! But then again, who does?Reviewers?Retailers?Readers?Mostly, audio is a crapshoot.clark...

I must agree with the guy.Why should you force yourself never to know the truth about it?clark...

Of the ones I know, your list is excellent. Not that hot on the Rosbaud and Klemperer, actually. I can only add the van Beinum. Wish I knew the von Matacic. Regarding Toscani, I auditioned this a few years ago at the Museum of Broadcasting (Hollywood...

In my travels I have come to the conclusion that Boston has the best (terrestial) radio in the world, both AM and FM. The only place that can compete, for classical music, is my home town of Sioux City -- where one can receive independent broadcasts ...

For years and years there have been people collecting (and sometimes disseminating) such performances on tape. I have lists from decades ago!Internet radio is another source, with orchestras themselves now sometimes providing the material. I have a w...

Seven hours of live music Sunday, from Bela Fleck through New Orleans jazz to Wagner -- all on the radio.
The evening began with the luminous show From the Top (with Christopher Reilly), which features young classical performers from around th...

A few words on Eroica: I couldn't watch the damn thing. It was as fake as a movie ever gets. For one thing, while the musicians were supposed to be there playing in front of Beethoven, it was so obviously a slick studio recording on the soundtra...

That is correct, but another factor enters equally: Few people know how much great sound is imbedded in those 78 grooves, therefore they never aim to capture it. Instead they concentrate on the noise.Were they able to play 78s rightly, they would&nbs...
