I don't recall that but I do recall a malaprop list by... ? Hans Ronk?

Example:

"Even when you aren't doing anything you are holding me back."

IIRC it ran on the next-to-last page of a print issue of TAS.

It must have been "Hans Vonk" but I can't find the malapropism page - John Marks 11:28:54 08/13/15 (3)

  Also a very nice Nutcracker with the SkD:
  
  I didn't care as much for the recordings he did as conductor of the St. Louis Symphony.

    I preferred his recordings with the St. Louis SO even though they were not as well recorded. They did a great Turangalila et al..

      . . . I came across a CD I'd completely forgotten that I had: the Vonk/Hague Residentie Orchestra recording of Bruckner's Sixth on the Dutch Vanguard label. I don't remember anything about it (!), but I'll be re-listening to at least part of it very soon.
      
      As far as his St. Louis recordings are concerned, I didn't hear the Messiaen Turangalila, but the more standard repertoire ones I did hear seemed awfully dry and multi-miked, and I just couldn't get past that.
Leif Segerstam was/is famous for his malaprops too - Chris from Lafayette 11:00:13 08/13/15 (0)
Example: "Was this a conspiration to read my beat?" There's a whole site devoted to it:
