I wish I'd troubled the great man enough to shake his hand (and ask him to sign my score of Star-Child).<br /><br />Send him all my warmest and tell him we all want a record of that marvellous performance of Ancient Voices at the Barbican.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-49931691208992356162009-12-10T15:16:35.904+00:002009-12-10T15:16:35.904+00:00The George Crumb photo you ask about was taken in ...The George Crumb photo you ask about was taken in June 2007, outside of the Carl Nielsen Hall, in Odense Denmark.

I thought it was the best in the cycle so far - bearing in mind the symphony it would have to be - and I should stress it's really quite something to be in the front line near Abbado and Bernstein. <br /><br />The only problem, even though I know comparisons are invidious, is that I can never help hearing Berlin, Amsterdam or Vienna strings and setting the Bambergers alongside them. Even there, as with the GMYO, Nott has trained them to the very highest level of phrasing and body.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-47939298585697258152009-09-06T23:07:57.860+01:002009-09-06T23:07:57.860+01:00I agree, Nott is a major talent.
