The Boston FM radio and my Sansui TU-X1 tuner gave another magnificent treat - a whole weekend of Bruno Walter music. I always liked Bruno Walter, although he never was my “buy on spot” conductor. Performances of some conductor (for instance Sc...

As I said I am not a huge admirer of Boston Symphony Hall. However, here is a good observation by WGBH’s Brian Bell about our prime Concert Hall. Some aspects of acoustics in there are deceased. It is 12Meg file of MP3 http://www.mediafire.com/?0guu2...

I juts hate that band. I hate everything about them – their tone, their sound, their idiotic Tanglewood, did I mention the BSO brass! The BSO during 30s and 40s was the orchestra that not only was able to play but was able to play phenomenally. Nowad...

Well Ronnie, welcome to the world of classical music! Tschaikovsky 4th

One other symphony that I think fits in the general Bruckner style, albeit early Bruckner of Sym 3 and 4, is Victor Bendix' Symphony 1 in C Major. Bendix was a Danish composer who lived 1851-1926. The Bendix Sym 1 was written at the same time as ...
