"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm" (Churchill).

'The test of a work of art is, in the end, our affection for it, not our ability to explain why it is good' (Stanley Kubrick).

Yes, it is! It'll be interesting to compare both recordings, Jeffrey.
Part of the tragedy of the Palestinians is that they have essentially no international support for a good reason: they've no wealth, they've no power, so they've no rights.

@Symphonic Addict, I tried to send you a PM, but it wouldn't go through. Would you mind sending me a PM?

Now here's something new and rather impressive;

Jenny Peña Campo's substantial [35:00] Cuban Suite.  This seems to be the first work by Peña Campo that has been recorded and it really is very good - not exactly breaking down the walls of modernism or anything that extreme but just very well written.  The new release is this;



which is of a 2024 New Year's Concert by a Dutch orchestra with their British conductor.  The playing is perfectly good but not great - there's a bit of a sense of hair not being fully let down!  On Peña Campo's website there is a brief excerpt of a rehearsal with a French Orchestra from 5 years back that is instantly more vibrant.  But genuinely the whole work is worth hearing.  This is the sort of work you can imagine Dudamel absolutely nailing......
