I do not post a lot in musical section of my sire as I interact about my mural at different places. Still here is some update about what is going on in Boston. As we all know James Levine is out and BSO is ownerless. Since the opening the Tanglewood season they played surprisingly well I have no idea who prepared them but it was relay good. Ten the last two weeks Christoph Eschenbach came with all Brahms program and it was a nightmare. Then Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos added the injuries with Rachmaninoff and Yuja Wang. The BSO sounded so broken up that it was almost like high-school band. The last nigh however BSO were back.

The BSO assistant conductor Sean Newhouse took his turn at podium and BSO somehow came together. It was Sarah Chang with Mendelssohn violin and the mighty Rachmaninoff’s Second Symphony.

The Rachmaninoff’s Second Symphony at open air of Tanglewood – that might be interesting I though while BSO was opening up with Jalbert’s “Music of air and fire” and suddenly demonstrated unexpectedly-good play.  So, it was. The BSO flew over the Rachmaninoff’s Second Symphony with very nice touch. They of cause are not the BSO from 40s and then played the work with much unnecessary romanism that in my view not good for the work but whatever version they played they played well.

Here is a fragment in 88/24, 140Meg, be your own judge. Discard some multipathing FM noise I have in my reception – I am working on it.
