There are still vinyl enthusiasts out and about in the wild. The M.D. son-in-law of my current remodeler had them haul away about 1,000 classical albums sight unseen from my basement plus about 500 OB cast shows, film recordings, etc. Hope they come back for more. That hardly made a dent. Meantime I...

If Jordan comes off the worse from such comparisons, so much the worse from him. I've now heard three of the 4 Ring operas Jordan conducted at the Met. And conclude that he has no reason to take a back seat to Thielmann (if and when he bothers to show up) or Barenboim and Petrenko (both of whose Ba...

]Reminds me of Phillipe Jordan tripping over invidious comparisons to Ring conductors long dead and gone. Talk about comparisons if this was the only baton available in the house I think Mickey would have to be called in to pinch hit for Jordan! Regards, Len :lol: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2...

Everybody looks out their own window. Trout has Mantle/Mays caliber numbers already. Like Philippe Jordan in Europe, if not America, he already has achieved star status.

I never heard of Mike Trout either till my son took me to see him. Angels outfielder not pitcher. A phenom.

And, who can say that Philippe Jordan, only 44, won't turn out to be that guy?

Actually, I both heard the radio bcst I got off the Web and watched the PBS show. Didn't know they had different conductors. I agree about the conductor rating game. It's reminiscent of two little kids arguing which baseball card they own, Mantle or Maris, is better. Given that there is somebody pla...

It was the Met Lepage monster production led by Levine/Luisi. I watched it several times on my DVD-r and liked it but so far I like the Jordan Ring better.

Zachary Wolfe aside, the reviews of the Jordan Ring have been mixed but leaned toward the positive.

I heard Siegfried , 05-09-2019 performance, Jordan conducting , and liked it a lot. A lot better, as I recall, than I did PBS's 2012 Siegfried .

Kirill Petrenko Certainly a plausible candidate, with Ring cycles in Munich and Bayreuth in his resumé.

Furtwangler wasn't anti-modern, then; he was anti-atonal. Agreed, anti-atonal, rather than anti-modernist. But even a confirmed anti-modernist like George Szell could take on a modernist AND atonal work by a special composer on a special occasion and make it sound interesting: the 2nd symphony of h...

Not quite enough said. For some reason you chose to listen to a Furtwangler Beethoven 9th that's among his worst. He was then both ill - he died three months later - and almost deaf. To do him justice, you should listen to the performance of March 1942, which is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
