What I listened to today
Re: What I listened to today
Actually, I find I erred; per Wiki Rachmaninoff revised the work substantially in 1917. Not sure I’ve heard the pre- Dahl.

Fww, Kurt Masur programmed the work for his NYPO debut as Music Director. Apparently, the NYC critics were not happy as I recall.Was televised I saw. First half was a John Adams brief work and Copland's "American Songs" with Thomas Hampson.

Re: What I listened to today
A unique, sonorous,very somber, dark, at times almost bellicose reading of the Ravel I suspect influenced by the moment.Impressive. Before his compelling encore by Ukrainian composer Sergei Bortkiewicz , Giltburg addressed the audience , in French , about the War. I heard the entire programme except for the Rachmaninoff. Macelaru addressed the audience before the Silvestrov.

Good lineup, Neil. I've never heard of a commercial recording of Nevsky with Leinsdorf, though. Was that a concert performance, or are you thinking of the Reiner recording on RCA?
Re: What I listened to today
Actually, you could wager any sum of money it's the Reiner. It's out of my Time/Life Great Men of Music set....drawn from RCA's back catalogue.
I'll check when I get home.

Re: What I listened to today
Philip Glass ‘ “Double Piano Concerto” for Two Pianos and Orchestra (2015) , the Labeque sisters with Rotterdam Phil. directed by composer John Adams, live in Utrecht,October,2021. My first hearing. Wonderful work, I shall look for a cd recording, but apparently no cd yet , even none by the sisters for whom it was written. The first and third movs. were very interesting, the second a bit long for its material. On balance, a very lyrical yet somber work, even though it opens exuberantly.

Buketoff, a vastly underrepresented figure on CDs. He's quite famous in Philadelphia as a choral conductor.

Re: What I listened to today
IIRC Beethovens rarely played own shorter cadenza for this movement. I agree that the recording with Leopold Ludwig surpasses the recording with Szell, but in a way I like the somewhat departure mood of the latter. Gilels also recorded this concerto with Masur and Sanderling.
