Schubert is the most sensitive man, not only in the world, but in the whole world, including earth. As Schubert might say.
Everyone wants to be from / in Mississippi, NOW. The promised land has lost it's sheen?

Frogman, Concertgebouw in the age of the virus. What changes, if any, are required in how they play, if social distancing is in effect. Will the sound of the orchestra be affected? They sound normal, to me, on this clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i0jboWTJEQ Note that a few of the string players are wearing masks. Cheers |

Vietnam Perspective:
Pales in comparison to both of the world wars. Both of which produced death on an industrial scale. The difference, they weren't televised, the media supported the government's war effort, and we knew what winning was. Not the case in Nam.

BTW, do you own the Beethoven violin sonatas? In my book some of the greatest music ever written.
I have The Complete Violin Sonatas Vol. 1&2 on the Philips Classics label. Each vol is a 2-CD set. Henryk Szeryng - Violin, Ingrid Haebler - Piano. Royal Concertgebouw - Bernard Haitink. Those 'twofers' from Philips were a great value. Thanks for your insights on the LvB 7 clip. Cheers |

a state where the school History books are censored by a panel of neo-nazies .
Textbooks in large parts of the country, esp the South, are determined by what books the people in Texas decide on. Numbers bring the costs down. Printing different books for each State would be costly. They are neo-Texans. felt shamed every time I went through the gates of Bases named for traitors . It appears as if that may change soon. Unless they go too far, and thereby lose public support. There’s always that danger. Cheers |

complete and utter BS.

I would be very curious to hear what kind of emotion or thoughts this evokes,if any, with you guys...
I would have guessed, without reading anything, Eastern European Roma / Jewish. With just a pinch of Spanish / Arabic. All due to my Hollywood upbringing. Very beautiful. Cheers |

you keep your stinkin words out of my music; case in point "Moanin"; no words can do justice to being completely overwhelmed by bad luck and bad birth; born under a bad sign, and can't do nothing about it, but "Moan".
Surely you jest!!

What now my love:
She sure does emote a lot. My true love, asked me the same question, in 1967, after I showed her my letter from the government that began with the word 'Greetings".

USAF droped more bombs over Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam
than it did over Germany in WW II . And they were better and Far more accurate .
True, but sort of misleading. We were involved in Vietnam for over 17 years. We bombed Germany for about 28 months. Jan 1943 until Spring 45. Cheers Did you get to read my Canadian post before Big Brother erased it? If you didn't, I recommended the book "The Guns of August" by Barbara Tuchman. Get it. |

I didn't know Nina was bipolar. Explains why she never seemed happy, and her music reflected that melancholy.
Julie London sounded great, but looked like the babe from 'GoldFinger".
Great Music.

Thanks for the info. And thanks for reminding me I forgot to mention George Szell and Cleveland. A big oversight.

Schubert,
I have several CDs of Dvorak's 9th. I prefer 'New World'. Two with the Berliners, but with Karajan and with Tennstedt.
My go-to would be Chicago-Reiner. Now on SACD, but I had the original on LP.
Classical music just seemed to sound better when the giants, Reiner, Bernstein, Ormandy, Fielder, and Munch ruled the American classical landscape. I never thought of buying anything from European groups back in the day. How things change.
Not sure if these American orchestras even record anymore. No sound like the 'Philadelphia' sound.
Good clip of the Berliners.

Today's Listen: Betty Carter -- I'M YOURS, YOU'RE MINE Curtis Lundy(bass), Gregory Hutchinson(drums), Xavier Davis(piano), Mark Shim(tenor sax), Andre Hayward(trombone), Matt Hughes(bass). Although on the Verve label, Minimum packaging. Just a single folded sheet with personnel and songs. Purchased through BMG record club. May explain it. Recorded 1996. If Ella could sit in with any big band and be any 'instrument', Betty could 'play' with Lester Bowie and his Brass Fantasy. Like Bowie, an acquired taste, maybe, but after you acquire it, wow!! this time

You are correct Frogman. Hell, The Frogman is always correct. Temper Tantrum / Pouting session over. And as you said, maybe it wasn’t me after all. Could have been the Jazz Queen. :) After reading your post on Stravinsky and Jazz, I listened to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkwqPJZe8ms Look at the size of that orchestra!! This is almost as satisfying to watch as it is to hear. You once said Stravinsky was up there with Mozart et al. I thought that was ridiculous then. People can change. I counted: 9 French Horns, 5 Flutes, 5 Bassoons, and 2 bass clarinets and 2 sets of timpani. I guess this is not played by Orchestras traveling ’on the road’. Cheers Jazz connection? Check the guy on washboard. Straight outta Nawlins. :) |

Still, I am not sure how to behave from now on, this was quite inconsiderate act from audiogon. Simple and kind warning should have been enough. We are not kids, ok, maybe Rok only, but the rest of us would have surely understood the message. :-)
This is a good question. I say continue as normal. If start we acting different the thread won't be worth continuing. We all know what The Bible says about 'Moderators'. And yes, it was very inconsiderate of Audiogon. That's why I suspect foul play. Cheers |

One of the most distinguishing features of 'Aficionados', is that the OP has stayed with the thread all the way.
I do not know 'what happened'.
We can't have a thread without the OP.

The Final Comedown:
Blaxploitation movies. What a waste. When I think of what could have been done. Much of the music was a waste also. Some good stuff outside of Jazz. WAR for instance. Great(est) pop band ever?? EW&F also.
Cheers |
Not close. No cigar. Composing a piece that includes Jazz players and Strings, is different from (Jazz player) with strings.
Can it be that The Frogman, leader of Jazz' anti-Wynton faction, is using Wynton, to make his points?? Down in Mississippi, they would say Lawd, Lawd!!
Cheers
Nice music. |
