    Don't know if this has already been posted here, but just heard that Gustavo Dudamel, also referred to as "The Dude" by some here :) and currently chief conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, has been appointed chief conductor of the New York Philharmonic. He will succeed Jaap van Zweden.

    Thank goodness! He's such a better conductor than Zweden. Hopefully, he'll do some great things in New York.

    Schoenberg: The Piano Music
    Maurizio Pollini, piano
    DG. rec. 1975

    [​IMG]

    I realize Pollini's pianism may not be for everyone, but his technical ability in his younger years - particular in his earliest recordings - was unparalleled. Most of his early 70's DG recordings demonstrate a staggering level of virtuosity. He's totally at home in this idiom too - a perfect match of material and performer.

    I had completely forgotten about having bought this Karel Ančerl: Live Recordings set cheap on Presto last year. Starting with some Beethoven and Mendelssohn and then onto some stuff I've never heard before from Suk, Foerster and Novák.

    Beethoven: Symphony No. 8 in F major, Op. 93
    Mendelssohn: Symphony No. 4 in A major, Op. 90, "Italian"

    Time & Eternity
    Camerata Bern
    Patricia Kopatchinskaja, conductor and soloist
    Alpha [24-44.1]

    [​IMG]

    Interesting program, and I understand what Kopatchinskaja's goal was here, but to be honest next time I will probably just listen to the two major works, Hartmann's Concerto Funebre and Martin's Polyptyque, in isolation rather than as programmed on the disc, with the movements being broken up with various bits of interspersed music ranging from Bach, to de Machaut, to Zorn - and even including some traditional incantations from an Orthodox priest and a Jewish cantor. To me these interludes, excellent pieces that they are in a vacuum, interrupt the overall cohesion of the larger works. Better to hear them as intended, as they are good performances.
    That said - none of these minor critiques pertain to PatKop's playing, which is outstanding as usual. She's a real talent, and she has a very recognizable sound (for all of the right reasons).

    London STS 15577, 1982. Reissue drawn from parts of three LPs. CS 6946 (8/75) was recorded 7/15-17/74, Masonic Auditorium, Cleveland. For some reason they use only the Cuban Overture from this Maazel LP. An American In Paris & Rhapsody In Blue are from SPC 21009 (2/67), with Stanley Black, recorded 5/24-25/66, Kingsway Hall, London. The Variations are from SPC 21077 (11/73) with Herrman conducting and David Parkhouse playing piano, recorded 8/16-17/71, Decca West Hampstead Studios. Since there's already quite a bit of information here I will omit producer & engineer credits.

    Okay, I don't think I'll be listening to Philip Glass' music for quite some time. A little goes a long way. He's certainly not one of my favorite composers, but I've always been intrigued by Minimalism in theory, but not so much in practice. My favorite Minimalist is John Adams, but I honestly don't think it's fair to call him this as his music, especially around the time of works like Harmonielehre, Harmonium and Nixon in China, became more harmonically chromatic.

    Anyway...NP:

    Mahler
    Das Lied von der Erde
    Michelle DeYoung, Jon Villars
    Minnesota Orchestra
