I've got a whole list of things I would pay large sums of money to hear Boulez conduct, none of which will ever happen (and not only because I don't have the large sums). Tippett: Vision of St Augustine A match made in heaven I reckon but it's not going to happen, is it  More than happy to go halves with you on that one, George, if we both win the lottery! As for RVW, I think I'd rather hear Boulez conduct the 3rd, actually. But no, he wouldn't ... I understand, incidentally, that the Janacek Prom was recorded for release by DG but Boulez has vetoed the Glagolitic Mass on account of the awful soprano.  |

The burden could happily be shared here, too. (And have either of you ever heard the live 80th Birthday Concert version under Atherton?) |

Be good to have his recording. |

(And have either of you ever heard the live 80th Birthday Concert version under Atherton?) WARNING: SERIOUS GARNETT SMUGNESS AHEAD Only by being there, Ron. Only by being there  . And I heard Tippett himself conduct it, also with John Shirley-Quirk, a few years earlier . Ow! That's going to stain. I understand, incidentally, that the Janacek Prom was recorded for release by DG but Boulez has vetoed the Glagolitic Mass on account of the awful soprano. He should have thought of that before, shouldn't he. Grrr  |

[WARNING: SERIOUS GARNETT SMUGNESS AHEAD Only by being there, Ron. Only by being there . To join in the Smugfest: As was I, AND I have the disc too. Part of an eightieth birthday weekend on the South Bank, IIRC, including The Mask of Time (the performance recorded by EMI) and a showing of Moving into Aquarius.Ahh, those were the days .... |

And I heard Tippett himself conduct it, also with John Shirley-Quirk, a few years earlier . Ow! That's going to stain. So did I, GG: the performance that was linked to the sessions for the RCA recording. With an Elgar Cello Concerto (Tortellier?) in the programme, too, IIRC. What I really must try and locate is the recording of the premiere with D F-D, broadcast from the archives about ten years back. The Atherton performance, along with the Triple Concerto was available commercially for a while. |

Indeed I have - it was the first recording I owned of the piece, on the now defunct Carlton Classics/BBC imprint. More than happy to make it available to anyone who wants it. |

Yet another occasion to add to the list of when we nearly met, pw  It's almost as often as the occasions when I nearly met Stanley S. So did I, GG: the performance that was linked to the sessions for the RCA recording. With an Elgar Cello Concerto (Tortellier?) in the programme, too, IIRC. Now that's intriguing, Ron. I thought for an excited moment that this might, similarly, have been another occasion when the paths of young-bucks-about-town Dough and Garnett might have crossed. The performance I heard was also at the time of the RCA recording (June 1971) and with the same forces (JS-Q, LS Chorus and LSO) but I heard it in Bristol (as the opening concert of that year's Bath Festival) whereas maybe you heard it in London? The rest of the programme in Bristol, again with Tippett conducting, was the Elgar Introduction and Allegro and, yes indeed, the Elgar Cello Concerto, but with Amaryllis Fleming. |

Yes, GG: RFH, summer 1971 is as close as I can get right now: pretty definitely a male cellist, though, for the London concert.

 The programme note is very timely.  A delightful disc. |

I think you'd enjoy this, George! Good Lord!! <thud> Well I never  . Now on order. Thanks, IGI. Ah, but an American orchestra could obviously never understand RVW's Englishness. What has Cleveland ever had in common with Dorking? [An rnsr is not reqid.] I'd better be careful about what I wish next. Boulez conducts the New York Philhamonic in 'The Essential Ronald Binge' anyone? |
