More Red Norvo here along with some good playing by Tal Fallow, Barney Kessel, & Ruby Braff.

Sorry to hear this sad news. R.I.P.

Here are 3 Red Norvo CDs I enjoy.

Mozart - Piano Concerto No.26, K.537 Mendelssohn -Octet Op.20

Schumann - Symphony No.4 - Berlin Philharmonic - Furtwangler

Piano Trio No.1,Op.1,No.1 and No.9, WoO 38

No.3,Op.87 and No.4, Op.136

Cello Sonata Op.102/1 & Op.102/2

Sorry to hear the series will be limited to 25. There are still more Xanadu sessions I would like to have on CD.

Happy Birthday to a damn good musician. Glad I had the opportunity to see him play live a few years ago.

Symphony No.6 "Pastoral"

Piano Trio Op.11 & WoO 39

Piano Trio No.1, Op.1

Spohr - String Quartet No.34, Op.152 Anton Rubinstein - Piano Concerto No.4, Op.70

Beethoven Cello Sonata Op.5, No.2 and Op.69

Haydn - String Quartet Op. 50/6 "The Frog" - The Schneider Quartet Schubert - String Quartet D.112 - Takacs Quartet

Those who have expressed concern about "precious" performances of Mozart Piano Concertos need not worry about this one. Moravec, as well as The Czech Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Josef Vlach, show passion, intensity and a firm hand with the keyboard and baton. This , in my view, an outstanding recording of Piano Concerto No.25, K.503.

Recently became aware of Australian Adrian Cunningham (now living in New York) He plays clarinet, tenor saxophone and flute all very well.
