I actually met him once at UT. An administrator nabbed me to turn pages
for Foss at the piano during a chamber music rehearsal. He was sure he'd
met me before! but that's unlikely.

I didn't know his conducting jobs in Buffalo and Brooklyn included
heroic orchestra-building.

Yep, big time builder. I hear that his ears were Boulez-like.

They were large, but he must have been in his late seventies. :-)

I wish I remembered who his fellow chamber musicians were, as they were
funny and gentlemanly.

Well....it's better than the alternative.

Plus, although Arnie actually has information to offer, you'll learn
more away than through him. The man's idea of nuance is Loreena
Bobbitt.

That's a cutting remark, note.

A tranche here, a tranche there......it all adds up.

I'm glad to see, BTW, that Jenn conducts, but if one wants to see or
hear Jenn conduct, how would one do that?

I've posted files here in the past. If you'd like, I'll do it again.
Thanks for asking.

Nice job, Jenn.

The Ensemble was under control throughout the piece. Phrasings and
voices maintained the same seamless transitions, and dynamics were
equally well- modulated.

It was all of a piece, which speaks well not only for the conductor,
but also the group itself (Not that The Eastman Wind Ensemble needs my
approval).

I didn't recognize the piece. I'm pretty sure it was 20th century and
not 19th, but I wouldn't bet the farm. The only thing I can be sure of
was that I couldn't place it. It sounded to me as if it had been
specifically written for an ensemble such as The Eastman, but again
what the hell do I know?


I might suggest you upload a better file. The one I heard was @192 kbs
and there seemed to be a lot of drop-outs. It's not too long a piece.
Why not upload a FLAC instead of ( or along side of ) the MP3?
