Lance, I've heard some of those, but never performed them.

Business execs of the corporations mentioned are not all that trustworthy in these decisions. As I mentioned here before, the dumb thing about the GA law is the 'no water'. That's stupid enough to get the whole package deleted. How many drop boxes they will use is nobody's business but theirs. If e...

Thank you, I have some nice Easter memories.

david johnson

It's Easter Sunday! This is certainly a day to enjoy Rimsky-Korsakov's Russian Easter Overture. That was the first piece of classical music I really got into. We rehearsed a transcription of it in school band and I became very interested. I soon purchased the Ansermet/OSR recording of it on London r...

As long as it's "policed" to prevent corruption I do not mind how voters cast their ballots. My preference is vote in person, or the common absentee procedure. I've never thought a drop box was an especially good idea. No water for those in line is dumb. is it feared that the bottles will have lable...

DC should remain a district. Why? Do you have an objection that you could share with us, other than the fact that most D.C. voters hold political views that are different than yours? 1) I prefer the nation's capitol to be in a 'neutral zone'. 2) You have no idea regarding my political views. They a...

I purchased this a few years ago. I am re-enjoying it

These recordings are probably in some larger boxes, but this is a 12cd box collection of: Haydn's London Symphonies, Paris Symphonies. 4 Masses. and Die Schopfung, all with Bernstein/NYPO on Sony. Do any of you also have this?

david johnson

Lance, I clicked the link and the message was "Stream deactivated".

I keep some Ozawa recordings around that I especially enjoy - : Janácek:Sinfonietta and Stravinsky: Rite of Spring, both with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

From Mark 12, Jesus answers a question: 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.” Some people must widen their concept ...

I doubt Bonaparte will become a victim of cancel culture, but nothing wrong with hearing all sides. What the French do is on them. Leave Lafayette alone.

david johnson

I've always had some Levine recordings around. I saw him/CSO at Ravinia performing Mahler 1 and Schubert 9. A sad situation

I have had both shots of Moderna. My arm was a little sore after the first, and again after the second with the addition of a day and half of being tired. I slept a lot. I have had a friend and a family member perish for Covid 19. I urge everyone to get the vaccine. Around my home it's Moderna. A fe...

Yes, the recently retired ethno-musicology professor at the University of Michigan and I have been friends for many years, beginning as trumpet section mates in college. I do not really consider race as a friendship litmus test. I also have a Korean friend. Those two stand out, but I do not see the ...

Thanks, guys, for painting me (a southerner) in all of the tender, glorious colors dipped from a palette of venom. Needless to say, I disagree with most of the mess presented in this thread about this being a 'snapshot' of the South. It may be Franklin County, I do not know, but not the South.

david johnson

Chuckle, you guys need to move over to be with me so we can truthfully sing -
"Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am
Stuck in the middle with you"

david johnson

Thanks, guys. I do not have the boxes, but I have items from them. maestrob, I live in Arkansas.

david johnson

Sony: Bernstein century series/Modern Masters - Lopatnikoff/Concertino for Orchestra, Dallapiccola/Tartiniana for Violin and Orchestra, Shapero/Symphony for Classical Orchestra - all with the Columbia SO/Bernstein

david johnson

As a 9th grader I purchased the Ansermet/OSR mono recording of Saint-Saëns Danse Macabre on London records from the local small town record store. It was great fun listen. I soon developed onto a young fan of: Ansermet, the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, and London records. The Ansermet-led recordi...

david johnson

I agree, Lance. We often look more like a political forum that usually tilts leftward.

david johnson

There will be a day for the burning, but such is not here yet!

david johnson

Will the same people cancel Wagner because of his anti-Semitism? How long has it been since the 'Honorable 5th column' illustration has been common viewing?

david johnson

Time will certainly tell! I wonder what will happen?

david johnson

If he did what is said, let the offended women slap him in public a broadcast. Then have the NY voters give him the axe for the nursing home/covid mess.

I eagerly await the release of the masterful recordings of great piano works this author has done himself.

david johnson

I recall his television show that came on late-night. He would wear colorful ties called 'power ties', and you could purchase them.

david johnson

The Hans Rott interests me.

I am not a 'Trump supporter', but I do not know if I feel the items you require or not. One thing I do know is that I am not contemptible. Neither are the people I know who voted for him. Good on you, David, for standing up for yourself against some heavy general attacks. Do you think Trump should ...

Thank you for those 'woke-ism' ravings.

H. Ross Perot is the first man I remember saying, "It's the economy, stupid."

david johnson

"'buyer remorse" - I like that one. So do I. For instance, buyers’ remorse permits a girl to divorce a guy who majorly screws up: Hoover, Nixon, Bush, Trump being not just one but four gents in question. But, tell me, why were three of these failed Presidencies located on the Right of the political...

david johnson

Belle, "'buyer remorse" - I like that one. Anyone who votes often gets to enjoy the remorse. It can be an equal blessing for all

david johnson

"Most Americans want Donald Trump out of sight and out of mind after he leaves office on Wednesday. Most Americans except Republicans, that is." I don't believe the 74M who voted in his direction really feel that way. Maybe they do.

david johnson

That is exactly what I've being listening to. Great music!

david johnson

Do y'all listen to Geminiani's music? I think today I heard my first of his work. Very enjoyable

david johnson

barney and jserraglio, I am glad you are being sarcastic, but it doesn't sound that way to me. Where do you get that I do not mind the 'secessionists', js? Nothing distorted in my statement. They are of the same cloth as the many pop figures who claimed they would leave the USA if Trump won. Hot air.

david johnson

Surely, some of you are NOT serious! We fought a war over secession and decided the UNITED states is the way to be. Over 600,000 of us died in that conflict. No reason to do it again. I'm not grumping at just those who actually hold the view, but more at us here who 'cheer it on'.

I intend to make the best of it. Christmas day at my place = Christmas ham, pumpkin pie made from pumpkins we grew. what's this?...the Guinness fairy visited the fridge! Yes, things will be fine. God bless all here.

david johnson

Mail is still fine at my place. Sorry you are having problems. Move out here in the 'boonies' w/me and mine.

david johnson

The problem was the dems running Hil . . . . I was going for Bernie in '16. When the dems decided to shaft him I decided on a definite 'screw them' policy. I was not disappointed. You apparently switched from backing socialist Bernie in ‘16 to promoting post-fascist Donald because you were piqued b...

david johnson

I certainly have not heard a piano version of these works as of yet. I do remember a version that used soprano sax rather than picc trumpet in #2. Was that a Casals recording?
