Boston at its best.

Listening today Scharwenka Piano Concerto No1 by Earl Wild and BSO under Erich Leinsdorf. I am not so wild about the concerto, there is a reasons why all 4 Scharwenka’s concertos are on second and their tears of piano concertos repertoire. However, how great BSO use to play back in 1969!!! It is available on Elan label and comes with much more interesting Paderewski’s Piano Concerto with London under Arthur Fiedler. Piano played by the same Earl Wild, identically wonderful. The BSO was recorded in our Symphony Hall and you won’t have this sound and this play today… Unfortunately…

Kavakos and tchaikovsky

I heard Kavakos play the Tchaikovsky Concerto a couple of years ago. Outstanding technique and muusicality. The concertmaster was just back in her chair obviously impressed by his technical command. As for conducting, well, Ashkenazy made the transition fairly successfully. I suppose it gets tiresome to play the same dozen works over and over, When is the last new Violin Concerto that became a repertoire item?
