Greetings and a happy New Year, Contributors to this site have expressed a concern for AUTHENTICITY in performance. Some of you have considerable experience....
Greetings - I thought I would offer those here first bite as it were: I am buying a new Ring Cycle, Keilberth 1953 with Moedl and Windgassen in the top...
... I know that Tom did not ask for a response but why not? The Motley selection of tenors in the Keilberth 1952 are all (with one exception) great to my ears....
And yet, it's written in the libretto of Die Walkuere : "Nur eines will ich noch : Das Ende ! Das Ende !" <g>. As for Witte, just wait for the Siegfried...
"Another unnecessary recording of the 5th, more chore than pleasure to listen to..." -- that's more or less what I thought when I put the LPO-live recording of...
... I have ceased on the whole buying any more Mahler recordings. I do want to say something about Jaap van Zweden. About a year ago (or something like that) I...
... Do you know Elgar's own recordings (1927-1932) of his two symphonies, Falstaff symphonic poem, and Violin and Cello concerto, all reissued on EMI and, if...
... Mime is a hard character and music for me to get interested in. As to Meistersinger, I thought I saw in a Broinc catalogue (I use them for bathroom...
Thanks Yoel, I'll follow that one up. The only recordings I have of Elgar are fairly recent. I ought to have the recordings made by the composer.I'll let you...
The quality of the brass instruments (mainly trumpets/trombones) have improved enormous during the last decades. The F-trumpets (also G-trumpets) were used for...

- What on earth do you mean by 'quality' and 'better' instruments? That they play louder and it is not so risky to hit the right note? Alas, almost all...
Perhaps the brass instrument-makers and players of 100 years ago did actually know what they were doing. Not necessarily. Instruments have improved and are...

In a message dated 2/5/2009 5:59:24 AM Eastern Standard Time, ... They play louder and softer. Brighter and darker. << Perhaps so -- but only in the hands of...
Yes, but it's probably not the instruments that are causing the balance problems. It should be easier, in the hands of technically good and musically...
Levine's 10th with Philadelphia reigns supreme! Especially the last movement is unmatched in its power and profundity. - Sam ... most ... singers -- he ... or...

Clumsy writing on my part. I was in complete agreement. My response was to what Quantz called "an absurd love for the old." The idea that if somehow ...
allowing myself to be slightly off group theme, I also find Levine enigmatic- his Paris Symphony (31st Mozart) is dreadully fast whereas his Idomeneo...
I prefer to think of that as improved musicianship; greater flexibility on the part of both musicians and instruments. I'm old enough to remember when there...
Greetings everyone. I'm very pleased to announce that MDG label will very shortly be issuing a CD recording of Czech composer J.B. Foerster's third and fourth...
