Mark Stryker Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 (edited) http://freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID...030514/1035/ENT Oliver Knussen's name has come up on the board occassionally in passing, mostly in admiration I recall, so here's a link to a story we ran about him today in the Detroit Free Press. He's conducting a fabulous program this coming weekend with the Detroit Symphony -- Stravinsky's "Fireworks" and "The Fairy's Kiss" with Knussen's own "Flourish with Fireworks" and his Violin Concerto with Leila Josefowicz, who just played it in Chicago with Esa-Pekka conducting. The concerto is a terrific piece; you can get it as a download from the DG website. Anybody have memories of hearing his music live (or, alternatively, hearing him conduct)?
