Wow; haven't heard that since my LP days decades ago. Hi, Jim.

LIVE with the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra--
Thursday, Grieg, full Peer Gynt music and PC.
Saturday, Tchaik. Serenade for Strings and PC1
Next Thursday, Rachmaninov Symphonic Dances and PC2
Next Saturday, Beethoven Emperor.

Recorded, Brahms Double concerto going thru my mind, so soon I'll be listening to Fischer/Muller-Schott/Kreisberg/Netherland PO on PentaTone.

Even more Bartok - Boulez was born to conduct this stuff!

Randy · « **Reply #568 on:** 14 May 2011, 12:19 am »

Jim, PC, I'd assume stands for "piano concerto."

lol- seriously

! and here I was thinking that he was born to bury him

! But then around middle age when he realised that he didn't have much to say as a composer himself, he had to have something to do I guess. Not much in Concerto that Boulez ever professed much love for. (Reiner did a better job anyway

)

I like Reiner and Fischer both quite a bit in Bartok, but sometimes I like the more analytical approach of Boulez as a good alternative.

Sorry Tyson, I wasn't meaning to challenge your taste in conductor, merely comment on the irony of your comment, given some of the things that the young Boulez said about anyone not composing in tone rows or with predilections for gypsy tradition

All this Bartok talk got me looking, so I pulled out;

Furtwangler/Menuhin Bartok Cto for Violi emi/france

A French pressing from early '70s I believe.

Back to back tonite-

Holst' The Planets- Previn conducting the LSO (EMI);
Svengali- Gil Evans Orchestra (Atlantic);
Larry McNeely with Geoff Levin and Jack Skinner (Sheffield);
stuff that's makes me so happy I have a record player.

Live at Birdland- John Coltrane (Impulse). AFRO BLUE from this is in the ascendant of jazz works, imo. Turn it up! How could a 24 very young year old short haired, ivy league lookin negro play piano with this kind of yearning and intensity? Well, Coltrane recognized something very special in this young man which is very clear here. And Elvin Jones POURS it on! Can't say that loud enough. Ascendant, positively.

Whoa, having hit send and I find I'm not exactly on topic

.

McCoy Tyner would later develop into a prolific player of notes, but he's very young here, and he makes each note count. It's the pressure on the keys in his fingers that deliver the passion and purpose on this. His playing is right on target and undeniably beautiful, imo.

Janacek-Taras Bulba and Dvorak-The Golden Spinning Wheel (Supraphon).

This is a sensational CD. A great early 20th century symphony and a very nice work for piano and orchestra. The Mahler influence in the symphony is fascinating. Read the review at Amazon. (See link)
