Classical Music for Aficionados
I heard the Barenboim several times Jim.Like everything he does it was done very well. I heard his orchestra many times when it had other names and he has lifted to a higher level. But , I still think E-P Salonen is a better conductor and Cho-Liang Lin gives an immacaculate performance from the first to last note, second to none ! Of course we all hear what we hear. I hope Scotia hears they had better get off the T- vessel built on Clyde-Side / i |
I heard Nathan Milstein play Tchaikovsky concerto with Eugene Normandy and Philadelphia Orchestra, Thanksgiving 1960. His bow began shedding, concertmaster offered his, offered shaken off, music proceeded with NM pulling loose hair off the bow whenever he had a 2 second break. When it was all over, thunderous applause of course, and Milstein reached up to Ormandy on the podium, who lost his balance on his bad leg, and nearly tumbled, but Milstein saved his fall. Never forgotten. Meanwhile, now listening to Maria Tipo (born 23 December 1931) play Bach on her piano. So fine. |
I would never challenge Milstein on Bach, or anything else for that matter. Of late I like to listen to this British lady as well. https://youtu.be/wTVJ0BtIoMA . And I will never not drop in to hear this good man. https://youtu.be/ZOm4DlsqvcU |
