Sorry if I gave the impression that the Mahler rehearsal was in Memorial Church.

Although I'm not down in the Stanford vicinity very much these days, I believe "The Dink" has pretty much been replaced by the newer, smaller Bing Concert Hall for concert use for a number of years now. Dinkelspiel was one of many halls which featured what everyone generally agreed were bad acoustics, although I treasure seeing a concert there by the (old) Borodin Quartet in the late 60's - music by Borodin, Shostakovitch, and one other composer whom I'm now forgetting. That Borodin Second String Quartet performance was absolutely magical!

Ozawa's BSO Respighi was my first. Very musical and some Telarc-like deep grooves in the Lp, shocking for DGG - jdaniel@jps.net 08:50:03 03/09/17 (0)

Forgot to mention that Bartok album with the BPO - I like it too - haven't heard the Respighi [nt] - Chris from Lafayette 07:41:16 03/09/17 (0)
