Chuck Nessa

Yes, my old friend Frank Anthony Monterose Jr.

The Kodaly portion of this:

Hadn't listened to Wooden Prince is years - now I know why, but Dance Suite was wonderful.

Received our wristbands today.

Bunch of old acquaintances.

I'm sorry the Schneider Quartet didn't record these. How do you compare them to the Kodaly recordings?

Damn - I just ordered this on Thursday!

Webern on disc 6.

My favorite recommendation.

Don't see your current choices.

It is in a big DG box with a bunch of other great stuff - https://smile.amazon.com/Eugen-Jochum-Complete-Recordings-Grammophon/dp/B0766FLLJW/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1RKTBE013R904&keywords=eugen+jochum&qid=1551758797&s=music&sprefix=eugen%2Cpopular%2C151&sr=1-2

Listening to Schmitt's "La Tragedie de Salome" from this set: Heard a performance by the Buffalo Philharmonic/JoAnn Falletta last night and a theme/modulation was driving me nuts - I knew it from somewhere else. I lost sleep last night and today it suddenly dawned on me. The work I was thinking of was "The Planets - Venus". AND the last BPO concert I attended included "The Planets". I felt so stupid. FWIW, it seems the Schmitt was composed in 1907/rev 1910 and the Holst in 1916. Dang.

Al is alive and happy on Facebook.

Check it out.

My parents were visiting and Dad answered the phone and said "Chuck, Duke Ellington wants to speak to you". A life highlight.

I liked both Ira and Stanley Dance personally. I dismissed their disdain of newer musics and appreciated their advocacy of the musics of "their time". They both had great value to me. Stanley actually got Duke to call me at home.

LOL!

Chills. Not in a good way.

Ira disliked most/all of my work, but in the 40 years I knew him we were friendly. Some here might remember when I emailed him about the "no show" on the Dameron "Mating Call" date. Whatever some view as failures are overshadowed by his accomplishments.

Do you know this one?
