Too excited to wait, I ordered the Wallisch/Haselbock from amazon.....belatedly noticing the 05/05/20 delivery date ....so a little dismayed.......then DPD brought them on the 1st!.... Life, 5/2020.
Which led to a wonderful weekend.......
The CDs of the Haselbock 7th and 9th Symphonies have arrived, photos showing the chorus placed in front of the orchestra.....!!.... haven't checked notes/perfomance history about this yet...
Saving the Choral for my own Grand Finale, but Hough may delay that.....the Gramophone interview with him (5/2020) is truly fascinating, from his novels to his now forsaken love of pipes and cigars - "I learnt Rachmaninov's 3rd with a pipe in my mouth"........ do seek it out if you have any access....
Originally scheduling Studio Recordings for the Beethoven Concerti, they switched to the idea of issuing the two live 2019 Helsinki Concerts as the Hyperion set.... but after 5 days of patching, Hough wasn't happy with it - mainly the live piano sound... so he and Lintu decided to start from scratch, recorded them all again, and with a different piano: the Musiikkalito Hall's new Bösendorfer..... which he'd rejected for the live concerts..........
