I like to listen when you are on live, not just archivally. Thanks.

...no, hold the archivallies...

Bethany Ryker:

Vermont! In real time - I agree - is the most fun. Connects all of us on this here page. However (!) archives are amazing to have...we can't survive with out them. And Europe....they tend to sleep at this hour!

Bethany Ryker:

The Brooklyn Rider performance where they played Glenn Kotche's piece was Tannery Pond Concerts, a smaller enterprise than Maverick (which is amazing, by the way.) Checked the location - the New Yorker listed the GPS coordinates - first time I've ever seen that!:

Always super cool to hear Martinů... thanks Bethany! And hi everyone!
Avatar 8:21pm
Bethany Ryker:

Martinů - bit of an oddball; love so much of what he wrote; collisions of traditional forms and modern influences. Glad you like it, Jeff!

Martinu in 1929 sounded a lot like some of the things L. Bernstein would do decades later

Bethany Ryker:

I've been away - fill me in, what does the radio icon mean? My guess was that it was it meant that the listener was listening via our terrestial FM frequencies, but we wouldn't be reaching the wool sock domain of Vermont ;)

Joe stalvey:

Have been wanting to see something at either venue for a while. There are actually too many cool choices in upstate for about 70 days each summer. Really enjoying your show tonight.

Paul Wittgenstein is the left-handed pianist in question

Bethany! still have the beautiful postcard you sent up here to the mountains a while ago. still love hearing you. thank you for the music dear!

rynac:

Left hand? are you referring to Leon Fleisher? He lost use of his right hand in the '60s and focused on left-hand repertoire. He regained use of his right hand in the 1990s.
Avatar 8:35pm
Bethany Ryker:

Left hand pianist who had many compositions dedicated to him was indeed Paul Wittgenstein, thanks @unpopularized for jogging my memory. He lost his right arm in WWI.

Good amount of info at en.wikipedia.org...

I grew up loving Dvorak, he's remained a fave throgh every stage of my music-listener life. I find I can indeed listen to his pieces again and again...

Dave in Vermont - that is Mark Mothersbaugh from the Royal Tenenbaums Soundtrack, one of my faves!
Linda - so glad you liked the postcard!!

It does, doesn't it, Jack....was actually 1710, I made a typo on the playlist and have since fixed it. Fortunately that piece hasn't been taken over by a jewelry commercial like so many of Vivaldi's other works (so far as I know!)

Thanks for tuning in, y'all.
