| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries Besides being a fantastic musician, Kleiber had a gift for establishing great rapport with the musicians in the orchestra. He was greatly admired and liked by the players. That is huge. He also had a specific and relatively small repertoire. He... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries I’m taking a different approach. For someone with as varied and insightful a “taste” in Jazz and other more recent genres as @stuartk , more modern works with more emphasis on rhythm (groove) and “crunchier” sonorities seems potentially intriguin... | |

| Trying to reach John Wright (Meitner/Museatex) Thank you for this @jetter . I did hear back from John just two days ago using the email address on the Museatex website. As you say he is considering retirement due to a visual health issue that he is dealing with. He asked that I try again in... | |

| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Glad you enjoyed the clips. Patrick Bartley is a wonderful saxophone player. So much history in his playing. | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries Not enough time to give the subject its due, but, a couple of thoughts: There is a (mistaken) tendency on the part of many music lovers to be too quick to deem a particular work, performance, performer, or conductor the “best”, “greatest”, “most ... | |
