Sergei Prokofiev is one of my favorite composers. I like all of his music. His Classical Symphony No.1 was composed to emulate Joseph Haydn's composing style, although there is nothing in the music that would lead me to connect it with Haydn. Toni...

The Boston Symphony performed wonderfully today with Beethoven's 9th Symphony under the direction of Michael Tilson Thomas. Beautifully rendered from start to finish. The radio moderator said it was a cloudy day at Tanglewood when the performance b...

It is kind of suck for Bruckner lovers in America. The American audience do not listen Bruckner too much so the orchestras understandably do not book Bruckner ‘s symphonies. If some visiting conductors do Bruckner then the US orchestras do not do ...

Some people say the BSO is the most "European" sounding US orchestra. Well, when listening to the recordings of the orchestra under the baton of Charles Münch it sounds truly wonderful and... indeed like a fine European orchestra. The Deutsche Grammo...

Clark, an interesting thing to explore might be the discussions between WGBH and the BSO. Here's a possibility: Until last month, of course, the BSO had long-standing agreements with two different entities: WGBH and WCRB. Now, the BSO has to re-think...
