I do not like the Jews who feel that word genocide was invented for them. In fact most of the Jews do not feel this way but there is huge machinery that makes huge money by selling the Jewish genocide – he need it as a propulsion of their entire ente...

JP,Try the 1990 performance by the Vienna Philharmonic with Bernard Haitink conducting. Its still available new on CD. Sound quality is excellent; interpretation very much to my liking, but that is subjective.The same performance was later offered al...

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check them. I've always found Tchaikovsky kind of "soft-popular-easy-listening" music, but I was very wrong, it's just I didn't find good performances. The 6th is a great symphony despite that "ballet-like" third move...

I learned The Trojans from its first stereo (and first complete too I recall) recording by Colin Davis. It was a rather cool affair, as studio recordings are wont to be, so I never realized how hot the music actually is until this year's Symphony Hal...

Hey, what do you know: I have found that the “donation” CD that was broadcasted by my NPR is also available from Boston Symphony local Gift Shop. I do not think that it is possible to buy it anywhere else. Thankfully the symphony Hall is just a few b...

I know well and like the Koussevitzky’s Sibelius’ small pieces but I never was attracted to Sibelius’s Symphonies. But here it was a totally other story. The Firth and Seventh Symphony plated by Boston Symphony in 1975 under no other then Colin Davis...

I do not know how about to “compare”. I did not have the box set that you have and I did not hear the specific recording you refer to. It might be fine performance. My comment before was based upon my other Celibidache Bruckner. Frankly Bruckner 3 i...

Symphony No.3 has the “sorrows that Jews well faced in death camps” but reading about the 3rg Symphony I see no mentioning of the death camps in the program:

Thats interesting... When Slatkin was music director and conductor,,The St Louis Symphony was voted No#1,, i dont know how that standing came about..Some politicle shananigons i presume.. Most of the Slatkin recordings were produced for RCA at that t...

I had today so much fan that I did not expected. The Gergiev’s Prokofiev with London Symphony turned out to be a truly devilish ride - a phenomenal performance. Mind you that not everything perfect and Gergiev play his own anti-romantic, hard-code, a...

This post requires a dual preamble.
First preamble relates to me smiling when some people trying to push a point that there are not great performances nowadays and whatever was great have gone with the era of Furtwänglers, Klemperers, Toscaninis, Ce...

[quote user="Stringreen"] The New Jersey Symphony purchased a number of high priced instruments - Strads, Guanaris, etc. in what they called "The Golden Collection". They paid way too much money for the collection, but thought that the better s...

Jerry,
I might intellectually understand what you are saying but my personal experiences protest. The Nanut's Bruckner 8 is kind of “overly articulate without course”. When I hear Nanut I feel like a short-hair Abyssinian Cat is trying to fuzz hers...

Yes, a good documentary but made by and for the “academic intelligencia”.
The reality is that the acoustics in Boston Symphony Hall not as great as the scholar
book love to portray. For sure there are more horrible sounding halls but there
are als...

Well, as I do play trumpets professionally and own much more than 6 instruments, I thought that I would chime in.First of all, Romy, this is one of the most lucid descriptions of pitch that I have ever read! It also raises a point for discussion:If I...

Do any of you have one single greek symphonic recording? I know it is not fair to compare commercial success with artistic, but at the end of the day, recordings ARE a big part of the life blood of a performing ensemble.When we add purpose to the lis...

[quote user="clarkjohnsen"]Actually it may be! At that time, and to some degree presently, the VPO had perhaps 250 members who played on a rotating basis; in fact a person didn't even have to attend the rehearsal to play in a concert. Those who weren...

Yep, but Gorecki has to do with it. Unicon implied that Symphony No.3 has the “sorrows that Jews well faced in death camps” but reading about the 3rg Symphony I see no mentioning of the death camps in the program:

Symphony No.3 has nothing with the death camps, middle part refer to II war. It say about sorrow of a single man in Polish mouintans. This opinion about death camps in Gorecki Symphony No.3 comes from Staalhoj and Palmer movies where is pla...

It is hard to explain but it is different. When I sit in my chair and play something then there is a very distinct deference between the events when I play Bruckner and non Bruckner. In fact I think I listen differently Bruckner and non-Bruckner musi...

Ive attended a half dozen performances this year and I find the acoustics of this hall quite terrible. Apart from some of the orchestra's lackluster and sloppy performance at times, the sound generally doesnt seem to carry well in this hall. It sou...
