    Don't think Leif will ever be allowed to programme more than one thing in a concert ever again! Not by Radio 3 anyway...
    Following on from my comments on his EMI 4th and 7th (msg 115), a quick delve into the Berlin DCH Archive reveals three 7ths and three 9ths (but only one complete), with Rattle and the Philharmoniker over the last 5 years, and one 8th - the latter with the Orchestra Academy of the BPO. Apart from the 7th, he did the 4th with the CBSO in 1996, and first played it with the BBCSSO as an assistant years before that.

      He was right; hence Mr H's witty speculations:

      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                I'd really prefer to forget all these awful puns -


                So it's a cup of the Waters of Leif for my bedtime drink.

                  It's not only Bruckner that Segerstam makes a big noise of. There's also Leif's Leifs:

                        That's one of the best of them! The pun, that is, not the "wine" (which I imagine that you'd be unable to purchase from Leifwaites and isn't worth the price of a first class stam)...

                                As does The Queen.

                                Maybe we should take a leif out of her book?
