Why "accuracy"?
"Mr.T" MrT@home wrote in message ... "Iain Churches" wrote in message i.fi... It would be interesting to turn up in an LRV at one of Arny's recording dates, and, with the consent of the client, make a parallel recording, to show them how their orchestra/choir could/should sound. They would probably start litigation against Arny for gross misrepresentation:-) I'm sure you are welcome to quote for their business. Then you can let us know the real outcome, not just your fantasies. MrT. I doubt he would know how to quote for anything "T" . he's far too busy, improving his ego. And his other problem would be, he would have to deal with real people, and have all his own gear. At the moment he's only an employee. and does as he's told. bassett |

And all valve gear would be expensive and none too portable either :-) At the moment he's only an employee. and does as he's told. Assuming *anything* he say's is even close the truth. MrT. |

I can picture it now, there we have a concert, or performance running and "his nib's" is there attempting to do a live recording. waving his little arms, and giving orders, to know one in particular, when all of a sudden, he leaps up on his stainless steel milk crate, [ nothing as common as a red plastic one, for this boy] yelling out, stop, stop, I forgot to give the French Horns a microphone, can we start again please. Or in his case, he would demand they started again, or he would take his ball and go home. bassett |

Do you know the work of any of the early (C18th) Dutch composers? They are quite wonderful.Carel Fodor, Jean Meder, Christian Graaf, Johan Lentz, Pieter Hellendaal are all worth a listen.

They are all famous European composers. You may have composers in the US (though not from the 1700s:-) that are unknown to us here. Probably not famous ones, although I wonder if Carlisle Floyd or Douglas Moore are heard in Europe. No. But you have got me interested now. Any particular works to look out for? These guys are all included in Olympia's "400 Years of Dutch Music" series. William de Fesch is my favourite Dutch composer. I used to get a regular list of new releases from Olympia. They seem to be out of business now. I found a short bio and a review of his oratorio Joseph he http://www.weku.fm/carter_page_03.htm I'd listen to that. A composer of some stature. Iain |

They both wrote American-themed operas, the most famous of which are Moore's "Ballad of Baby Doe," set in a silver mining town and Floyd's "Susannah," a Southern retelling of the story set by Handel. Google shows a recent production of the latter in Wexford. There's also a recent recording from Nagano and the Lyon opera. The Moore has a recording with Beverly Sills that was reissued. Haven't heard the recordings, but I've seen productions of both. Hmm. I wonder if those outside the USA would appreciate such works. But it would be interesting to hear them. I am sure local record shops cannot supply them, but the library service almost certainly can. I will ask. Thanks for the info. Iain PS. Do you happen know what, if anything, has happened ' to Olympia? |

Baby Doe hasn't played outside of U.S. borders very much, sad to say. Besides the American story, there is also the very large cast (30-some, not counting the chorus) so it's expensive to do and to travel with. I believe that Susannah has fared better overseas than has Baby Doe. |

Do you happen know what, if anything, has happened ' to Olympia? It took longer than I'd thought to find them: http://www.olympia-cd.com/index.htm I think they've changed US distributors several times. Thanks for the link, I have bookmarked it. No Finland distributor listed. I used to deal with Francis direct. The society to which I belong used to order about 50CDs at a time, so he was quite happy. I didn't notice many dates (most of the review page reviews are old) but a Myaskovsky (or Miaskovsky) edition is underway. This loooks very much like the material they had available for or five years ago, with no new additions that I could see. Regards Iain |

On Sep 14, 3:32 pm, "Arny Krueger" wrote: "Iain Churches" wrote in message ti.fi... George. I feel that Scott was not considering the matter of tutoring, but the work that Arny does for schools on a charitable basis. Not so - it is work for pay. As somebody pointed out, a poor recording might be better than no recording at all. And if the school concerned had the money to pay for a decent recording they probably wouldn't twice at Mr.K. The schools pay the going rate. I take it all back, a complaint to the school board may be in order. To be credible, the complaint would have to come from the festival judges, director, or the school music directors. They are the only people, besides some students, who have ever heard the recordings. Typically, the judges have nothing to do with the running of the festivals. Maybe in your world, but not mine. They are simply hired by the people running the festival to adjudicate. Maybe in your world, but not mine. At the festivals I've worked, the judges and the festival director have been colleagues for a goodly time and work together. Usually true. Typically, the festival director has been a judge at more than a few earlier festivals. Usually true. Sometimes input is asked for. Been there when it happened, which is about just about every festival. I don't know how it is in MI, but in CA, NV, OR, WA, AZ, and TX (the places where I've judged festivals), the festival is usually run by a local school district, school, or collection of schools, and they hire a judging association (such as the Southern California School Band and Orchestra Association or California Band Directors Association in CA, or Oregon Band Directors Association in OR, etc.) who assigns a panel of judges. Sounds pretty close to what I've seen. The two organizations I work with are the MSBOA and the MSVMA. Almost always, the sponsoring school(s) know the judges; we're all colleagues and work together. Sometimes, they are "independent" festivals and the sponsors hire the judges directly, sometimes from out of state and often college colleagues, to reduce the chances of bias. In both cases, the judges aren't involved in the organization of the festivals; we just come and judge. From what I have seen the MSBOA and MSVMA, the organizers and judges are one big happy family. One week I'll see someone judging and the next maybe I'll work a festival that person has organized. |

Be my guest. Given all of the gaffes you keep on making Iain, it would be a lot of fun - for me. They would probably start litigation against Arny for gross misrepresentation:-) Letting blowhards like you Iain puncture themselves does tend to improve my days. ;-) |

I worked on some of the most sophisticated and supposedly portable vacuum tubed equipment ever made for about 3 years. |

All I was saying is that the judges don't "run" the festivals; even though everyone knows everyone else and are generally cooperative (everyone involved wants the thing to succeed for the kids), the judges are basically paid employees there to adjudicate only. The next week, one or more of the judges may be running their own festival, and not adjudicating. |

It is indeed true that this idiot uses words far beyond his station, this noted and pointed out by many in various places on the internet. Many years of ridicule by the many has failed to change the ways of the bassett. The adage "one can't teach an old dog new tricks" certainly holds in this case. "Brain dead" could easily replace "old". The bassett certainly has an inferiority complex, but also suggested is tertiary syphilis as a cause for his bizarre demeanour. The bassett has no technical background whatsoever, what little he knows is by text association only, his gathered knowledge being of similar quality to his comprehension and use of language. He has all the intellectual force of a liquid fart, and an intact hymen across his logical faculties. Responses from persons attacked by this diseased dog are usually followed by bully tactics and veiled threats of physical attacks, showing the small-mindedness and lack of reason within this mentally challenged individual. Bassett's responses usually contain layers of oblique incoherence interspersed with random commas, but always a generous supply of misspelled and poorly chosen words. It is entirely possible the bassett just wants to be somebody. |
