A place for beautiful and interesting clips from the internet. Here's the first one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgWiAvP6qHUErnest Ansermet conducting the NHK Symphony Orchestra in the finale of Stravinsky's Firebird (Tokyo, 1964).  |

Really?  I once heard a beautiful early recording of Fischer-Dieskau singing these songs, accompanied by an orchestra conducted by Otto Ackermann, a good, but rather forgotten conductor. |

yup.
Ackermann was great - did a load of stuff for emi, lots of operettas with schwarzkopf.
had a real lyrical feel for the music.

Yup, indeed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beC3MR94DlgI have a beautiful Ackermann LP: Mozart 17 & 41 (Winterthur Symphony and Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestras). Very elegant. |

Who's the conductor?
I checked the dvd today from where the YouTube-images are taken ('Schwarzkopf, Seefried, Fischer-Dieskau', Classic Archive, EMI Classics). It says it's Paul Kletzki conducting the NHK Symphony Orchestra in the Salle Pleyel Paris, 24 October 1960... |

Tim, someone told me a couple of weeks ago that there are about 4 complete half-hour (??) interviews with Ligeti on YouTube. I haven't had chance to search for them yet but maybe they're out there somewhere ...

I've never seen these t_i_n, but I'll look out for them (but they're not under any search for 'Ligeti', so they might be hard to find...)
There are some short interviews (they look like a pre-concert chat thing) with Boulez on there, and a Japanese documentary on Xenakis that I know of.

Regrettably the Fischer-Dieskau Mahler has been taken-down by the original uploader  |
