[Archaic Torso of Apollo]

That's where we sat! Did you happen to see that girl that kept twirling that stupid pencil during the Ravel until someone behind us asked her to stop? My dad and I were right next to her.

Ahh, I wish we had planned to meet up during intermission. I didn't think it would work out (we had dinner reservations and went to the pre-concert talk) and was kind of embarrassed that I didn't get back to you when you brought it up in the concert thread. If I had known you were that close by we could have met during intermission. Oh well... I certainly hope to see the CSO again soon and I loved the city.

Didn't see her, glad I missed it cuz it would have been distracting! I was glad to see such a good turnout for the concert, and the audience was enthusiastic too.

It would have been nice to meet up, but I had a previous commitment as well. If you come back to Chicago please let me know!

Yes, I can't wait to hear them as Segerstam is one of my favorite Sibelians. BTW, what do you think of Nielsen's music, Peter? I don't think I've ever heard you speak of him before on here.

I have heard Bostock's performances of the symphonies but it was years ago. A composer I need to revisit.

Yes! You will love his music. Right up your alley.

I do not know Korngold's music at all so I bought this one for the Violin Concerto. If I do not like it the Tchaikovsky will keep me interested.

You can never have too many performances of these Nielsen works in your collection.

[The new erato]

You cannot have more of his works than he actually wrote, can you?

[Karl Henning]

You might if, for instance, Fritz Kreisler wrote a vn/pf duo and falsely attributed it to Nielsen

Well no, but I'm talking about difference performances of course.

Hah!

(not that I would mind having that in my collection..)

Bloch's first piano quintet is a masterpiece. Not to belittle his superb second quintet of course. Recorded versions are not exactly thick on the ground.
