Taking a Tcherepnin and Mahler break to give old Rimsky-Korsakov another chance.  I don't think my mind was really on the music the first time I listened to the first symphony.  This time around it's enjoyable.  I suppose the problem for old Rimsky-Korsakov is that when you've written one of the most popular warhorses in all of classical music - Scheherazade - people tend to leave it at that.  So, I have a lot to listen to as I got a Rimsky-Korsakov box set.

Yes (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EU8RBQ4)...and it's really good.

By an error on my part, the alarm rang at 6:03, not 6:30, so I turned it off and went back to bed. I have my first cup of coffee, I'm reveling in the fact that the laundry is accomplished, and I am pondering a rewrite of "A Pirate Is A Rotten Thing to Be."  I think the drum part is too busy.

Yesterday I istened to Sir Richard Rodney Bennett's opera The Mines of Sulphur, which reminded me a great deal of Britten's opera The Turn of the Screw.  It's a horror tale about a rundown mansion in the British countryside, the murder of its owner  for his wealth by an army deserter, a gypsy woman, and another derelict, and the arrival of a theatre troupe, who may be already dead, carrying the plague.  The musical idiom is much like the Britten ghost opera, but the orchestra is as large as that for Peter Grimes or Billy Budd.

On an interesting sidenote, the opera's libretto is by Maggie Smith's husband Beverley Cross, based on his one-act play Scarlet
Ribbons.

DVD.

There are only a few choices unless you go to bootlegs.  The only Albert Herring available is the 1985 Glyndebourne production directed by Sir Peter Hall.  Cast and setting are fine, but I hate the use of additional supers to fill out the production.  It's a small cast chamber opera.

There are three for Billy Budd, and it all depends if you want the new Glyndebourne production or the ENO production from the 1980s with the great Sir Thomas Allen.  Since this opera has become a "barihunk" specialty with shirtless Billys running rampant, I'm surprised none are on commercial DVD.  The DVD of a 1960s BBC broadcast conducted by Britten, with Peter Pears as Captain Vere, the role he created, but Peter Glossop is more a Rigoletto than a Billy Budd.
Title: Re: IT WAS A SATURDAY LIKE ANY OTHER SATURDAY EXCEPT THAT IT WASN'T
Post by: elmore3003 on July 23, 2017, 06:34:42 AM
So, the barihunk Billy Budd appears to be THE major requirement now for the role.  I always thought I could lead our former DR Michael Barnum to opera with Billy Budd!

I think it was Ginny who asked...we went to Book of Mormon...generally at Christmas Vuxdad gets me a ticket to a show or  two.  Since  he's not a big fan and sInce prices have skyrocketed he gets me single tickets and I usually try to meet up with a friend or two or three before or after the show.   He bought me a ticket for  BoM and has been lamenting every time he sees the commercial on TV  that he didn't join me 

When I discovered that there were front row enter mezzanine seats (his location of choice) available for the matinee on  his actual birthday a few  months ago I snatched them up and I have been keeping it a deep dark secret ever since

I have a question about Book of Mormon.  Is it completely inappropriate for kids (aged 12 and 14?).  I know that it is raunchy. And I could not believe that my mom said that her friend's daughter is taking her 12 and 14 year olds to the show.

Thanks, DR Jennifer!  I find my preoccupation over its repair was taking too much of my mental activity. On Friday, while they tinkered away at it and the 15-minute repair estimation stretched into hours, my fretting over it was really blocking my thought processes.

I hope her friend doesn't have to explain "there are maggots in my scrotum" to them!  I'm happy that people like the show, but I found it raunchy and tasteless after that wonderful "Hello" opening number.  I hated it.  The little synthesized orchestra did nothing for it at all.

I enjoyed yesterday's pack rat "confessions."

I threw out a bunch of stuff this morning and you can't even tell! Didn't even make a dent!

My guideline: if I'm going to keep it I have to be able to find it when I need it. Otherwise, what's the point?

But as long as you have a general idea of which pile which types of things are in, doesn't needing three or four things justify everything you've kept/ 

I've needed things, knew for certain that I'd kept it, and while I couldn't get my hands on it right away, I'd be thrilled that i hadn't thrown it out when I'd find it after only an hour or two looking, but in the right piles o' stuff.)

I think it was Ginny who asked...we went to Book of Mormon...generally at Christmas Vuxdad gets me a ticket to a shower two.  Since  he's not a big fan and sInce prices have skyrocketed he gets me single tickets and I usually try to meet up with a friend or two or three before or after the show.   He bought me a ticke fir BoM and has been lamenting every time he sees the commercial on TV  that he didn't join me 

When I discovered that there were front row enter mezzanine seats (his location of choice) available for the matinee on  his actual birthday a few  months ago I snatched them up and I have been keeping it a deep dark secret ever since

I have a question about Book of Mormon.  Is it completely inappropriate for kids (aged 12 and 14?).  I know that it is raunchy. And I could not believe that my mom said that her friend's daughter is taking her 12 and 14 year olds to the show.

I would not recommend this show for anyone under 16




I agree.   I think I mentioned when I saw the show there were two young children (I think one was no more than 7 and the other 9 at the most) next to me (by themselves)!  We all won the lottery.  I remember when the family won the lottery and how excited they were (the parents were there for the lottery).  The usher remembered seeing them before!

I'm finishing up a bunch of books at a fast and furious page since the last of the Proust. Yesterday, it was Don Quixote. Ted Hughes' translation of the Oresteia the day before. Tonight, it's Down the Garden Path, a delightful book about British gardening that was written in the 1920s and is still very charming in a Wodehousean way.

I've started an Indian-American version of the Electra story that's only just OK in the first 50 pages and I'm two-thirds of the way through Notes from Underground (I read it in high school and don't remember a thing).

Started the documentary "By Sidney Lumet." I like the fact that the director is doing all the talking and the clips seem to be specifically chosen for what he's talking about. I need to see some of these movies, like The Sea Gull for the first time. Others, like The Pawnbroker or Serpico, I haven't seen in years.

Back from our matinee - hadn't seen the show in two weeks - two actors a bit low energy for my taste and they'll get a note about it, but it flew by and the audience had fun - over half a house and the talkback was really fun - we have another one next week.

Then went to Doug's partay.  They had Sharkey's - not my favorite.  I had one tiny tortilla filled with chicken fajita, a bit of guacamole, two chips and a tiny bit of Spanish rice - in other words, not much at all.  I stopped at Gelson's and got some rigatoni bolognese from the hot bar for the remainder of my meal.  And now, listening to Rimsky-Korsakov.

In the chutzpah department: Some young kid who'd like to do the kids Kritzerland show just posted a video of some talent contest she's in - she sang Don't Rain on My Parade - she needs guidance - a very good voice, but the arrangement is pure Barbra, and that's just what you don't want to do.  But that's not the chutzpah part.  The chutzpah part is the video with a bunch of tap dancing kids (not this girl) doing Back in Business from Dick Tracy.  That's not the chutzpah part either.  The chutzpah part is that whoever created the track they used "borrowed" my arrangement from the Sondheim at the Movies album, including all the tap breaks and the very ME ending, not to mention basing their track clearly on elmore's orchestration - no one has ever done the song like we did it, so I'm not imagining things.  In the film it's just basically a rhythm section, no tapping at all, and a conventional finish.  I'd love to know where they got the track and in fact will endeavor to find out.

If you cannot get the money, take the check writer to small claims court and add any bank fees.

Okay, in the scarier than the scariest horror movie, apparently in December they released the one and only season of The Young Lawyers on DVD.  As those who've read my first memoir know, that was my very first TV show, which I filmed in December of 1970 at Paramount.  I have seen this episode once only when it aired in March of 1971 (it was the series twenty-fourth and final episode).  I was horrified by what I saw and quickly learned what I should never do on film.  So, I ordered the set, of course, and it will be here on Wednesday but will I have the courage to actually watch the episode?  I guess I will, but if I was horrified then, I wonder if it will be equally horrifying forty-seven years later?  When I filmed this, I'd just turned twenty-three and the Darling Daughter was seven months old.

George, do not allow this patron to get away with writing a bad check to a theater company.  Don't allow them to devalue the arts.  Send them a firm, but nice letter asking for the price of the tickets and the bank fees.  Hell, you can even request an additional $10.00 for your time and trouble.
