The Sixth Symphony is very idiosyncratic and I would feel that it has interest only for aficionado of the Sixth Symphony who might look for very different reading of the work. The 1812 in another hand is one of the greatest 1812 even committed to rec...

I admit tat I ma kind of a freak of nature in my pursuit to the abstract absolute tone of orchestra. Attending life performances I practically never hear “tone” that satisfies me. In the Mecca of my tonal satisfaction there was 3 years ago a vi...

A few years back, instructing young photographers, I was trying to pitch them an idea that “dramatic” depicting of a bride is not compatible with presenting her in chic format. Drama and chic are in a way antagonistic concept where one destroys a...

Anthony,
Under no circumstance buy this CD. This CD is coming from the “Great Conductors of the Century” collection and this entire collection has a horrible mastering and very bad sound. There was an Eastern Europe company (I think Russian $ ...

It is July Forth holidays and again across American will be placing the Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture. Among near 20 overtures that Tchaikovsky’s composed it is difficult to find as bad composition as the 1812 Overture and it is very sorry that we Amer...

I agreed with everything until it got to, "The Golovanov’s version is hardly Tchaikovsky’s symphony but rather Golovanov’s own re-composition…"Yet not a note was changed! (Was it?...)Therefore what Golovanov did was shuck decades of sentamentalism to...

Well, this was why I used the “amateur” in the quotes. Amateurism described as a pursuit to something without formal qualification or professional status. Surely Günter Wand was not a sub-qualified person and he was a professional conductor but as a...
