Watching (!) Glen Gould playing Beethoven 5 on 100 inch projector screen on Youtube. Ithink Beethoven won. Altho nonHD, sound is decent (Yammie Receiver, 7.1 Klipsch). Orchestra surprisingly tight. Is that Steven Staryk as concermaster? (one of the greatest little-known violinists)? Good photography, probsbly CBC, altho this appears to be a crylic TV programme. Ancerl is one of my fave conductors. He fled Czechoslovakia when the Russians came in, conducted in Toronto only to die of cancer. I was there in high school, went spordically, and I knew nothing. |

I am still in awe of the fact that you knew Ivan Moravec |
