Listening to a live 2005 performance of Ligeti's Atmosphères, in honor of Christoph von Dohnányi, who died yesterday in Munich.

Gotta love The Telegraph's spin.
Well, in this case, it's sensationalist but not malicious at least. 
If you are interested in listening to orchestrations of solo/chamber music, you might be interested in this thread.
Also looking for recommendations on neglected conductors thread.

It's neither sensationalist nor malicious. It's true.

RIP.

From 1965, a real find from the WDR Sinfonieorchester archives, von Dohnányi in Britten's The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra. Speaking of young persons, it gave me a smile to see him with dark hair, since when I first encountered him it was already white.
