Starting the arduous task of the Cluytens set.  So much music I don't know at all, so that will be fun.  Also in this set is a complete Beethoven symphonies, so that will be interesting.  Also complete Ravel music that this conductor is known for.  And I'm very intrigued by the early stuff from 78s and the early mono tape recordings so I'm uploading those.  I first listened to the Shostakovich 11th - I had this performance and loved it on another CD, but in the final movement there was a sudden shift to mono sound rather than the glorious early stereo I'd been hearing - it only lasted about forty seconds but very jarring.  Sadly, it hasn't been fixed - I'm guessing there was tape damage there that couldn't be repaired and it sounds like they went from a mono LP - I'm wondering if there was a separate mono tape recorder running, because otherwise why wouldn't they have gotten a stereo LP?  Unless: It was never released in stereo - and that's certainly possible and especially if there was this problem.  I'm now listening to Richard Strauss's Don Juan - don't know it at all but am enjoying it quite a lot.

From yesterday:
What might've helped [last night's opening night audience for TAO's 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche] may be because tomorrow [today] is the Pride march here in Olympia.  The cast of the show is going to march in the parade with signs advertising the show, so hopefully that'll drum up interest...and bring a greater awareness of our theater group

Great idea, George!

It is!  I don't know who came up with the idea, but everyone loved it!

TCB or George, have you ever worked at or seen anything at Second Story in Redmond, Washington?  (I hear Redmond is 15 miles from Seattle.)   They seem quite interested in including THE LAST STARFIGHTER musical in their 2018 season, assuming details are worked out, of course.   They'd contacted BK and we referred them to the licensing company.    We wouldn't be involved with the production, but if it's a multi-week run, I'd probably fly out to see it.

And again, thanks to Bk for the referral.

FJL, I know many people whom have worked at Second Story in the last few years, and all of them have enjoyed the experience.  I have only seen one show at Second Story.  I saw their production of A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC which featured my friends Sharry and Micheal as Madame Armfeldt and Fredrik Egerman.  It was a wonderful production.  It is an intimate performance space, but quality productions.

I suspect Jane and Keith will spend the weekend going for a nice drive or two.

As lovely as this sounds, we are going to put the miles on the old car.  I might take advantage of having two cars, while it lasts, and do extra errands in the mornings.

Awhile back friends from England contacted us they will be in Vancouver on vacation & would we like to meet for coffee.  Once I explained we are in Washington and not Canada they suggested meeting us in Seattle.

I am shocked to find out they need a visa to come to the states.  They didn't get a visa.  Either we go to Vancouver, BC or we don't see them.  Seattle is less than 3 hours away while the other Vancouver is 5 hours.

It's funny. This version of War and Peace isn't very good, despite some very good performances. But the story is so good that it just sweeps you along.

Had a good run-through - still forgetting bits of blocking but I actually get out loud vocal about it now when it happens.  And too much not knowing lines, so I've told everyone they must come in on Tuesday fully memorized.  As of Thursday I won't allow "line" to be called.

Then we had a super fun Kritzerland stumble-through - one of the stumble-throughs where there was an attack of the lyric flubs - once one person does it, everyone seems to follow suit - it's funny.  But great performances, wonderful material, and it's a really cute show.  I gave my usual notes after, and then went and had a pastrami with cole slaw and Russian dressing, a few fries, and a side Caesar salad.

Listening to ravishing Ravel.  The funny thing is, I had a complete Cluytens Ravel set on EMI - I got rid of it because the sound was not to my liking, but clearly it has been completely remastered and sounds amazingly amazing.  Cluytens was, apparently, Ravel's favorite conductor of his music - and these performances are stunningly beautiful and simple and pure.

My late friend and publicity client, Dan O'Herlihy, co-starred in the movie (non-musical) version of THE LAST STARFIGHTER.




BK had played the roles of Grig (played on the screen by Dan O'Herlihy) and Otis in the New York Musical festival reading of the musical.


as mentioned in the Playbill article from back then

And the Vixter and I were lucky enough to be in the audience for one of the performances

Having now heard the Cluytens Ravel CDs in their entirety, as well as two Roussel symphonies (I'll have to listen a time or two more - didn't love either), I've now gone to the beginning of the set and am listening to the first four CDs, all transferred from 78s - transfers are mostly fine - they went from the best copies they had.  Performances are wonderful.  So far the Beethoven Piano Concerto 4, which I actually kind of enjoyed, now a Richard Strauss piano thing which is also nice.  I like listening to these as sitting by an old radio seventy years ago and what that must have been like - and you know what - there's something to be said for the simplicity of sound - a certain charm.

We had to wonderful cats named Bogie & Bacall.

Great names for a pair of kitties.

When I returned home with 2 kittens, making a total of 4 cats, without checking with Keith I figured I had better name the boy for his favorite actor.  Of course that only left one other name for the Girl 😄

After all the old-fashioned music, now playing is a 1946 An American in Paris - it's pretty amazing - in fact, I've never quite heard a performance like this one and I'm kind of in love with it.  It's wild and wooly and so infectious it just makes you smile - definitely my musical language.
