John, get that piano tuned!
selfish man, thanks for posting the Gould and Golschmann. Golschmann doesn't have much fame or reknown, but I like his style with baroque. He and Gould seem to be on the same wavelength when it comes to Bach. Golschmann's sound is very crisp. Bernstein, in comparison, seems muddy when he conducts these Bach keyboard concertos.

Somebody asked about violinists. After seeing him twice, Gil Shaham strikes me as one of the best. He plays with an evident joy. When he plays with Dudamel the enthusiasm level overwhelms the crowd.

Having indulged in my own Scottish Fantasies...
I find I myself partial to Bruch's. If the four minutes of the third movement
don't tug at yer heart strings then you don't have one.
(I've only included the third and fourth here)

Holy jeebus, what a mensch that dood is, no?
But I do like my Itzakh Perlman version too.
The performance obviously was not in LA - nobody clapped between the movements.

It's Illya Kuryakin, aka Ducky Mallard, aka David McCallum.
His father was a first chair violinist, his mother a cellist. His interests musically, well, he's f___ing Ducky, after all! Read the review below for some nice, fluffy journalistic reviewing in the old school. Same with the music. It swings like 1966. The year I graduated h.s. and into the Bay Area music scene, and Illya with his Nehru jacket were being shut down by incoming flowers.

The Edge is DMC's most well-known musical composition now intro and riff to Dr. Dre's The Next Episode, OK?

Words and music by David McCallum on Insomnia.

Oh, look at that. The same issue, April 29, 1966, (35 cents) as the review of McCallum (titled 'McCallum and the Woodwinds') and A Bit More of Me, his second LP, also containd an article on the last night of the Old Metropolitan Opera. Gee.
I think I'm passing on typing the article out. If you want to read it, it won't change your LIFE if you can't locate it. You can buy the mag from me, or look for your own. You'll never get Julie Christie away from me!
"What makes the album exciting are the classic overtones soaring above the driving beat in almost every number....an unusual combination of reed instruments...what we've come to know as the Big Beat..one of the freshest LPs to make the rounds in months." Fluffy, in a enthusiastic way. He likes.
And Life Magazine's normal Oh-So-Generic-Style prognostication, part of standard mainstream reviews half the time (fluff): "McCallum's climb from bit player to teen-age idol in less than a year stunned the TV trade. With his album aalready in the Top Forty ("kiss of death") and with musical capability to match his hefty Nielsen, he may repeat the feat in the pop field."
The last article in this vintage Life is the national break-out piece on Cesar Chavez. And Julie Christe, of course.

The ominous "military" symphony of Haydn is only a paper tiger, the melody belies it's nickname.

I like Haydn's attitude. He was a plucky lad.
Wednesday, went and saw Andras Schiff play Book I of the Well Tempered Clavier. The acoustics at Disney Hall are superb. It was too expensive to sit where we sat, but I noticed he changed the fingering on the Prelude in C Major from what he'd indicated in the Henle Edition!
It's amazing work. The preludes are little jewels thrown out to clear the palate in between the massively engineered structures of the fugues.
Book II next Wednesday.

I have loved classical music since I was about 5 years old.
If I had it all over again: I think that a composers life would be great.
Notice how many musicians and composers live a long life.
Ludwig is still my favorite!
( Thanks Marlow: John Murphy is new to me--thanks for posting )
