Stravinsky's "L'histoire du soldat" in the Berkshires
There's a great organization in the Berkshires (Great Barrington, Mass.) called "Close Encounters With Music" (CEWM) that has been doing concert series annually for a long time. It is led by a world-class cellist, Yehuda Hanani. Usually the concerts prominently feature him (rightly so) in various co...

Re: Bombastic Music That You Actually Like.......
Looks like nobody yet has mentioned Beethoven's Wellington's Victory.
It's so bombastic that it's funny.

Re: What are YOU listening to today?
Hey y'all -- I'm new and this thread seemed like a good way to start getting to know about some of you. I'm pretty immersed in Scriabin these days and so I've been listening a lot to: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Trpba9%2BNL._SS500_.jpg It includes Horowitz's Scriabin 9th Sonata, which is...

Re: Vinyl Records and Turntables Are Gaining Sales
Yes!!! -- I'm new here and thrilled to see that this is getting attention. I posted about it on another music forum (Piano World) and there was considerable interest and affirmation on it, including (most impressively) from non-old-timers.

Re: Favorite concertos that are NOT for piano, violin, or cello
Let's give some love to concertos for some of the "other" instruments. :D What do you like? Great thread -- and terrific collection of replies. Assuming that "Sinfonia Concertante" counts (and why not, it's basically a concerto for multiple instruments)...... Everybody knows about Mozart's famous o...

Re: Favorite concertos that are NOT for piano, violin, or cello
I am shocked and amazed that no one in the first 12 posts in this thread mentioned the Haydn Trumpet Concerto. There's one by Hummel, too. I am shocked and amazed that Ralph has not posted a note as yet about Dittersdorf's very fine Harp Concerto. Hey Ric -- do you know about Boieldieu's? (several ...

.....Frank Martin - Concerto a' 7 [Seven wind instr/perc] and Strings... Nice to see Martin on here. A friend played a set of his piano pieces and I loved it. BTW......maybe we ought to mention -- that's "mar-TAN." Do a lot of people know about him? I sure wouldn't have if not for that piano set.

In fact (and this is true!).....I've started "collecting" stray things to build a hardart , in due course. I've been to a couple dozen of PDQ's concerts and a couple of times...
