The main drawback of this otherwise great recording is the participation of counter tenor Dominique Visse, who stains this record with his horrible voice.

I was just reading on Wikipedia that Kremer invited Schnittke to play with the orchestra on its 1977 tour to Austria and Germany so he'd get permission to travel and hear the premiere in the West of the Concerto Grosso No. 1 that Kremer and Grindenko had asked him to compose the previous year.

As a different performance of that was what I was just listening to.

Revisiting The Fellowship of the Ring. I'm already on record as liking it the better, when truest to the source, so I shan't belabor the point. I'm not crazy about the fight between Gandalf and Saruman in Isengard, but I accept it, as a suitable cinematic liberty. Something which may be new upon this viewing, I think it a nice touch to have Arwen come to fetch the wounded Frodo to Rivendell.

I cannot forestall disappointment in the Council of Elrond devolving into rather a barroom brawl. There is a great deal of dignity in the books which the screenplays scuttle utterly. Just calling balls and strikes, here.
