Who or which have you not heard live that you'd like to?

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

And of course the great Kathleen Ferrier, a mere 42 when she died from cancer.

I'm glad I saw her live.

I wish I had.

Has this thread changed direction ? I only asked ?

It is like a rather lugubrious switchback ride, I agree saly

Well you trashed it Caliban, by getting excited about dead people. As a Host don't you feel that the OP and other readers deserve the courtesy of relevant contributions?

[Nick Armstrong]

You mean

like "Karajan, Celibidache, Klemperer, Rostropovich" as mentioned in the OP?

Nonetheless, your lessons in courtesy are always illuminating.

[Bryn]

Ahem. The OP actually read:

Prompted by another thread I realised that I've not heard Perlman or Zukerman live. I'd like to while I still can.

I missed the following (I did try for these):

Karajan
Celibidache

I missed (didn't get round to it):

Klemperer
Rostropovich

Besides individual performers there may also be groups - chamber musicians, or orchestras, or choirs. For example, I have heard the Amadeus Quartet and the Beaux Arts Trio, and the Cleveland Quartet and the Lindsays. I'm not sure about the Emersons. I'm sure there may be others where I lost out.

So, who or what would you still like to hear live? Would you like to hear them play anything in particular?

In the spirit of that OP, I would love to hear Pierre Boulez conduct a long concert starting with Tchaikovsky's Fantasy Overture, Romeo and Juliet, and closing with Messiaen's Turangalîla-Symphonie

Thanks Bryn. I could do Boulez too, though not sure about the Tchaikovsky. Turangalila Et expecto?

[Bryn]

I think it is pretty safe to venture that he will never conduct anything by Tchaikovsky, or that particular Messiaen work.

Though he used to make a good fist of Et expecto ... , more recently he just pushes on regardless of the composer's instructions re. waiting for the sound of the tam-tams to fully die away, for instance.

[Dave2002]

I think I may have had the spelling wrong - et exspecto ...

Indeed, I made the error of duplicating the two words from your previous message.

[Dave2002]

Do you think that meant "and I spit"? Or is that yet again another similar word?

Sorry to revive this. I couldn't keep my many programmes but kept ticket stubs and in the early days wrote on the back.

Was looking for the James Gibb concert. Couldn't find it but found these two specials......

Handel - Messiah- LSO - RCS-Sargent -FERRIER - PEARS - Morison -Walker. Iknew I'd seen those greats together. 26th March, 1948

FURTWANGLER - LPO -Gluck Alceste-Brahms Symphony no 4- Strauss-Till Eulenspiegel- Wagner-Prelude Tristan and Isolde. 18th March 1948.

What a month that was for me.

Great memories, salymap

[Barbirollians]

How wonderful to have heard those greats .

Looking back over this thread I am sorry I never heard Ralph Holmes play - his Delius recordings were marvellous and he made a great case for the Hamilton harty concerto .

I keep meaning to buy one of his early HIPP Beethoven sonata recordings .

Hiya Barbirollians,

This June I had the chance to review a Dresden concert that included the Harty violin concerto conducted by Sir Neville Marriner. Instead I selected a Classical/Jazz crossover concert in Dresden played by the Matthew Barley Ensemble with Viktoria Mullova.

hat you'd like to?
Prompted by another thread I realised that I've not heard Perlman or Zukerman live. I'd like to while I still can.

I will never forget the first time I ever heard Pinchas Zukerman 'live': it was in the early 1970s when I had the good fortune to be 'hired' as a 'guest player' with the English Chamber Orchestra on a 2-week German tour in which 'Pinky' played the Beethoven Vln concerto ( 'without conductor' ) and in the 2nd half of the concert conducted Beethoven's 2nd symphony.
I can honestly say that in every one of the 10 or so concerts he slightly changed his 'interpretation' of the Concerto; it certainly kept us 'on our toes'.

[salymap]

I only saw Zuckerman with du Pre and Barenboim, playing trios at Brighton.

No room for such goings on there waldhorn,
