    I love this performance - is Leif Segerstam a synthesis of Santa Claus, Gennady Rozhdestvensky and Sir Patrick Moore?

      I really love the recordings of Wagner and Bruckner by Hans "KNA" Knappertsbusch but am absolutely left speechless by this performance of "O Namenlose Freude" from Beethoven's "Fidelio" with the heroic Sena Jurinac and Jan Peerce. It seems so ridiculous yet remains amazingly joyous: one can only say the score was KNA 1: Beethoven 9

      Amateur51,
      A propos the previous link to Leif Segerstam: yes the mannerisms of Noddy (when playing to the crowd) and the beer gut of Patrick Moore.

            Two colleagues working out their interpretation before the orchestra arrives - Jorge Bolet and Paavo Berglund being very business-like in preparing Rachmaninov Piano Concerto no 2

                  Some sort of genius, innit

                  I read somewhere (on the Bolet/Berglund youtube responses?) that Bolet did not practice much physically - he could do it all in his head apparently!

                  Some sort of genius, as I say

                          Yup, it's the same one - but, hey, spread the joy! (It was all arranged by the local bank, by the way, but that's not as much of a problem for me as it was for some Forum members).

                                That brought a tear to my eyes! How wonderful to see the younger people enjoying Beethoven!
