The hassle of working away from my home town (Glendale, AZ) has worn me out..... I rarely have time to eat out during the week. I eat at Il Vicino on occasion, only because it's directly off Alameda.
My stay in Albuquerque should be temporary.... I hope to enjoy the systems again sometime in December. But the classical community here is far better than that in Arizona.

hey, was just at Omni at Montelucia for a Mayo Clinic course.
Your town reminded us of Palm Desert with some heavy commute traffic, but it's very good and pristine.
been interacting as you know with pbarach about the Uchida/Cleveland Mozart (9 and 21, specifically). Wonder if Chris is correct, but our mutual friend indicates the orchestra sounds more gentle at least in classical period music.
The Cleveland Orchestra does sound "gentle"..... But at the expense of articulation and "explosiveness".... I've called the sound "dainty" myself.A great example of this is the Welser Most performance of Brahms' "Academic Festival" Overture at the Proms...... It's a nice performance, but I'd rather be plastered to the back wall, if you will. (There's also a recent NHK/Blomstedt performance, audio only.)

Agree with gentler attacks. Saw an interview of Franz during the same Proms describing what he wants and he's getting it. The Brahms Symphony 1 was superb with a gentler approach (I kept straining to hear more aggressiveness).
did you read, "straining to hear"?
It got a bit boring due to Franz' approach.
Disagree about the Brahms 1... The Welser performance was boring to my ears.
