Lance, how did that Stokowski Phase 4 product turn out? I only bought a few digital music items this year - voxmegabox Renaissance Choral Music, Handel oratorios, and complete Haydn String Quartets.

Surely, Gillette will soon air the toxic femininity ads.

I tend to doubt the op review as being 100% accurate. It sounds more like a mix of acoustics and pre-conceived notions. Depending on equipment/performer, a piston trumpet can sound even more mellow than a rotary trumpet. I mostly go piston, but have heard some fine rotary action, for sure.

Sad news, indeed. God bless.

I taught in public education for forty years. It was mostly good, with a few nuts in admin and counselling. The most aggravating thing was the continual drivel coming down from state education departments. a 'new method/procedure' is always presented as 'the way it will be from now on', then it is r...

Allegations are not proof, but it should not hurt to investigate them. Not long ago, some of the allegations against a Supreme Court nominee were withdrawn, and at least one accuser admitted she lied.

david johnson

WOW! Thanks for your hard work.

david johnson

Thank you, Lance. May a blessed and peaceful holiday show up in all our stockings.

Neat discussion.

I have two recordings of the Tchaikovsky/Bogatyryev. I prefer the Ormandy and have had the lp since it came out decades ago.

Hey, Wallingford, I STILL have a few of these lps :) Two weeks ago, I picked up a load of about twenty vinyl albums at a sale taking place at my alma mater. Among them were: A Chabrier Concert ……Dervaux, Orch. Colonne (Seraphim S-60108) Dvorak Slavonic Dances (complete)…..Dorati, Bamberg Sym. (Turna...

Winter Storms Waltz/Fucik - one of my favorites

I am enjoying Haydn's London Symphonies, Bernstein/NYPO, on this early Thanksgiving morning. Have a happy turkey, or whatever suits you taste buds

You all are speaking of Trump. I am speaking of Waters.

david johnson

Maxine Waters deserves all the mocking she can get, and probably more. I do not know much about the others.

david johnson

I greatly enjoy the Kunzel music I have and have heard.

david johnson

I have the old Bernstein recording. I first heard the work when I was a teen listening to the radio program "Music 'til Dawn"

Muckey wed one of the NYPO string players a couple of years ago.

Hil? Her, too. The further left or right the tale comes from, the less true it is.

If Pelosi is involved, it's ALL malarkey.

david johnson

Not everyone does, but I enjoy "Enterprise" more that TNG.

david johnson

I will go with how the name's wearer prefers. If not available, it's my bad luck.

I have not watched an Oscars ceremony in many years. It became tedious rather than entertaining. Maybe a new category will help.

david johnson

It's the 'point of proof' that you use. The immeasurable can not be measured. I hope you someday believe.

david johnson

I looked up their 'address'. I had a friend who auditioned but did not make it, and one who did. I was in the 106th for a while.

david johnson

notice the wink in my statement...of course I was joking. However, God exists and I am a believer. No wink.

That's the Field Band from Ft. Meade. They are the tour band.

david johnson

A rough kick in the crotch is what they need. However, I do not understand how there can be a statute of limitations for some crimes but not one for allegations. How does that work?

david johnson

That "Ancient Aliens" tv show has a lot to say about this topic ...

david johnson

You guys have mentioned some greats, for sure. Lance, I studied out of the Williams Scales book in college. I seem to remember he also had a transposition method book.

david johnson

Good points, for sure. A former student of mine has a struggle with this and did considering ending it all. Things have improved some now.

david johnson

A birthday? Hooray for you

“ISLAM is not a RACE, lefties. Islam includes EVERY RACE of people.” this is true. You appear to have somewhat missed the point of the ad hominem remark Roseanne Barr aimed at Valerie Jarrett — her alluding to Planet of the Apes was the racist part of the tweet, whereas referring to the Muslim Brot...

This morning: Beethoven/Piano Sonata #1/Kempff

One biopic. One movie named "Spotlight". The names I noticed are Bradley Cooper and Jake.

david johnson

ABC mentioned two movies about Leonard Bernstein are on the way.

david johnson

I have his set and the one by Backhaus/Schmidt-Isserstedt. I got the Barenboim because they came with the Klemperer/Beethoven symphony box. I enjoy it, but I do not listen to it often.

david johnson

For all of you who do not like Erich: please send to me all of those wretched recordings you have of him. It's only through my great concern for your ears that I make this noble offer

Hey, "Brassed Off" is on there

A flick about brass band stuff.

I am now on the final cd of the EMI/Bruckner Symphonies box/Jochum/Dresden. Really good!

david johnson

Let all go who wish to.

I grew up hearing Patsy Cline on the radio. She was a master at her style. I often had high school students who worked hard to do some Patsy songs.

Thursday concludes the Vox 2-cd box, Debussy Complete Orchestral Works Vol. 1/Louis de Froment/Orchestra of Radio Luxembourg. Very enjoyable.
