Know what TRUST is: when 'my' lame deer limps past with her two children only 15ft away. Unperturbed. She eat the green ground-level leaves of the plant that almost died and rebirthed this summer. Ahhh...! She may well outlive me. I remembered Haitink conducting the Mahler 4th a year or 2 ago at the Proms. My comment about all the animals gathering upon the cliff face for the funeral of their friend.
Apropos nothing at all....
Not sure that Dvořák’s Violin Concerto in A minor is a great concerto but every second Anne‐Sophie Mutter convinces all that it is! (27 days to listen).
There's a very very beautiful performance of Mahler's 1st Symphony by the Pittsburgh Sym. The First can so easily be played in hindsight as if a later work. Conductor Manfred Honeck and the Pittsburgh sculpt the magic of youth (guess that 28 isn't that young anymore- was it ever;) Sonorities ever so delicate. And an ever slow build to what is confidence not bombastic arrogance in the finale. All the flowers almost open at one point but can't quite commit (Fig 18/19-zurückhaltend). They were right. There was a higher calling. Finally: a cry from our soul.
Sad that Thomas Campbell 'left' the Met.
What could I possibly say but courage!
One of the very few honest individuals in New York! Mr Campbell single handedly (his vision) navigated that enormous vessel into the future. Our future. That is not nor ever will be an achievement to be scoffed at!
