Well, you've read the notes, the notes were in stereo, and now it is time for you to post until the stereophonic cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: SUMPTUOUS!
-
Notes tabled. Turntabled.

Well, this is an interesting pattern:

That’s because to me Ormandy is synonymous with having a hi-fi and a dad who enjoyed classical music. I hear the name, and I hear Columbia and RCA classics coming out of our octagonal end table with pull-out turntable. Not a high-end system, but everything sounded luscious to us.

Good morning, all!

I got Jeremy's latest batch of illustrations this morning. They're quite delightful.

I have phone calls to make this morning to my urologist and the vascular surgeon I saw two years ago. First, I need to vacuum. The place is a mess.

When I was around three or four, the Boston Pops and Arthur Fiedler recorded Khatchaturian's Sabre Dance from Gayne. It was my favorite recording. I remember having a Little Golden Record of the dance of the little swans from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, and that was probably my only classical recording until I saw Disney's Fantasia in 1956, and that was a revelation: I thought Stokowski was the greatest conductor, and I fell in love with "The Sorceror's Apprentice" and the Nutcracker Suite. In 1958 I caught part of the broadcast of the complete Nutcracker ballet and that was a real kick in the butt: the Suite was about a quarter of the music in the ballet, and I got Dorati's Mercury recording of the complete Nutcracker - the first complete recording - with the Minneapolis Symphony. That led to Dorati's complete Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake.
Around 1961, my Aunt Jean, trying in vain to teach me fiscal responsibility, suggested I begin a checking account, and that led to my joining, like Benjamin Kritzer, the Columbia Record Club. I got my stereo player, and the only albums I purchased were classical, mostly Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra. and musical theatre. Among my favorite purchases were Bartok's "Miraculopus Mandarin." Orff's "Carmina Burana," and suites from Delibes' ballets Coppelia and Sylvia.

I had an interesting dream last night. I was working summer theatre somewhere with Jean Druesedow, the wonderful costume designer at Miami University for whom I was graduate assistant for two years. In the dream, I wasn't at Miami and I was surprised to find Jean working there. There were other friends, none of whom I remember. At one point, we seemed to be at a muddy construction site, and I commented, that car looksd like my brother Macbeth's. I turned around and there he was, He started to speak to me, and I turned around and walked away, yelling, Don't talk to me! I never want to see you again!
Now, my feelings are accurate; I never want to see or hear from either of the Macbeths ever again, but I've never before had any dream about our situation. I have no idea what prompted it.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Two (count ’em) rehearsals today, going into the late evening.
Thursday will be even worse, with a visit to the Grand Inquisitor (a.k.a. the dental hygienist) thrown in for comic relief.

The illustrations look wonderful, DR Elmore.

Good morning, friends.

LOVE the illustration, DR elmore3003!

Who decides these things?
-
Hope your stamina returns soon, DR vixmom. No fun.
-
DR John G., perhaps you should whip up a purple sweet potato pie.
-
Really enjoying reading all the comments about Ormandy.
-
Tuesday morning greetings! Busy day yesterday and I’m enjoying some time in the slow lane today.
-
DR Elmore, Jeremy has perfectly captured the Hilary Knight vibe you were looking for! My favorite is the passed-out pigeon.

The first classical recording in the house was somebody’s Beethoven Fifth on 78s. I have no idea whose it was. When we got our first record player that had all four speeds, we branched out a little bit, but it wasn’t until my dad brought home the Mercury recordings “Bach on the Biggest” and the Gershwin Concerto in F (Eugene List) that acquiring classical recordings started becoming a thing for me. Those were unfortunately the mono pressings, but I would eventually discover the wonders of the stereo.
Later, through the record club, I played the Ormandy Grand Canyon Suite to death, and then I discovered his Carmina Burana which sent me over the moon. I got to his recording of the Miraculous Mandarin Suite much later still, and I do love that one.
I also joined the RCA club for myself, just to branch out and be different, and the Fiedler recording of the Concerto in F was another major thing for me in the Gershwin department. And then there was Skitch Henderson’s Porgy and Bess. When I discovered London recordings, in addition to the G&S operettas, I loved Ansermet’s Nutcracker.
-
TOD - our family acquired a stereo in 1959 because my mother liked the walnut cabinet that contained it. My father bought a Reader’s Digest 12-record set in a cool box in a slipcase with a Renoir painting on the cover.
Then, when I was in college all my music major friends gave me a recording of the Cleveland Orchestra that included Dvorak’s “New World Symphony.”
-
Good morning, all.
-
DR John G., perhaps you should whip up a purple sweet potato pie.
Since sweet potatoes can give me kidney stones, I think I will pass. But Pi Day is approaching.
-
We eventually got the stereo “console”, and a few of those Reader’s Digest sets, too, DR Ginny.
-
Several of those sets, actually. I went for the classical, and my mom and dad had to have the big bands ones.
-
Energy vibes for vixmom!
-
I got Jeremy's latest batch of illustrations this morning. They're quite delightful.
Terrific illustration, elmore!
-
TOD: In terms of records, what stands out in my mind is Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite. I wrote a school report about it.
-
But there must have been some before that.
-
There must!

Today is Tuesday, eh?
That means I have an afternoon appointment at my allergy clinic in North Augusta. Should be a good visit since I have been feeling much better since startig my Dupixent injections.

When I was younger, my dad’s family would have an annual reunion. It would always cause total war between Mom and him. One year, she stayed home and the rest of us went. On the way home, we stopped at a drug store, and he found a cut-out record with German writing on it. It was his version of a peace offering. He left the 49-cent price tag on it and proudly presented it to her.
She laughed. An ugly, cruel laugh, as I recall. I was about 7 at the time.
He had bought her Mahler’s Kindertotenlieder, or children’s death songs. We were forced to sit inside on a hot August afternoon and listen to the whole thing. We hated every last second of it, feeling it was our death song too.
And that was the first time I remember classical music coming into our house.
-
I like it now, but not then and not in an un-air conditioned house.
-
TOD:
It's hard to say what my first exposure to classical music was unless it was the William Tell Overture while watching "The Lone Ranger" on Saturday mornings in the 1950s.
Of course, TV featured classical music in a lot of newscasts, etc., but I never knew what I was hearing.
My first recording was of some Strauss waltzes. My mom picked up a bunch of cheap recordings on LP after I got my first hi-fi. I was fascinated by them, but had no way of measuring the performances.
In band in high school, the first classical music we performed that grabbed my attention was a movement from Wagner's "Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg". It was complicated, complex and thrilling even when heard through "band ears".
As an adult, I have to say there are two recordings that were my first major loves of classical music: Sir Edward Elgar's "Enigma Variations" (and, of course, his "Pomp and Circumstance" was something I had heard many times as a youngster attending and playing in the band for graudations); and Puccini's "Turandot", with Joan Sutherland and Luciano Pavarotti. I had purchased the opera on LP (a boxed set) in the exchange in Vicenza, Italy. Took it home, grilled a steak on a hibachi on my balcony, opened a bottle of wine and listened to the entire recording. It took (and still takes) my breath away,
That was the beginning, but no end is in sight.

As I read other people’s responses, I realize I’ve been forgetting a lot of other early exposure to music and recordings. Yessir, a lot. But I guess it’s okay if I save some for the memoirs and the biopic.

Vacuuming was hell this morning. The vacuum was picking up nothing, so I emptied the bag, which was pretty much empty. WTF?
So, further investigation revealed the opening where the hose fits into the bag was completely clogged. I had to take the filter and bag apart to dig out the clogged cat hair, pencil shavings and other crap causing the clog. It made quite a mess before I was finished, but now the vacuum runs nicely. I see a bath in my very near future

Topic of the Day: I have no idea when I first became aware of "classical" music. I was always more interested in vocal music, but it wasn't until I discovered, and fell in love with, musicals that I branched out into classical music in general and developed an appreciation of and a liking for "classical" (both vocal and instrumental) music.
-
And I shall soon be receiving a new credit card to replace one that has been compromised.
Ugh!
-
Nice illustration DR ELMORE!

From DR Singdaw:
I saw something about the London Eye (the "Millenial Wheel") being dismantled and moved to Scotland. Which is apparently untrue.
Thanks for letting us know that is a hoax.

I can't remember not having classical music playing at home. I still have a few of my father's albums that we would listen to together.

Sorry.
-
TOD: My parents had several favorite classical recordings. The ones I remember most are Ravel's Bolero with Paul Paray and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and Van Cliburn playing the Tchaikovsky First.
I can't really remember my first classical purchase like I can for rock and jazz, but as a band kid, the Fennell / Eastman recording of Holst and Vaughan Williams would be a likely candidate.
-
I have listening to Bela Fleck’s new recording, Rhapsody in Blue. It features three versions of Gershwin’s classic. The first is Rhapsody in Blue(grass), reorchestrated for bluegrass instruments and Fleck on banjo. The second features Fleck on banjo with full orchestra. The third is Rhapsody in Blues, with a real bluesy take.
In between are two short Gershwin pieces.
-
It may be too much of a novelty, but it’s enjoyable for now.

Here’s the bluegrass version: https://youtu.be/8DHPxRZFWQE?si=qusgTTmtzZDHaS5y

I finished Vanity Fair last night. The ending was not Thackeray's, but very satisfying. Amelia was relieved of some of Thackeray's Victorian view of a passive woman and given a spunkier contemporary acceptance of Becky's proof of of George Osborne's infidelity. Watching the series had me thinking about sagas of women's friendships from Scarlett and Melanie to Bette Davis and Miriam Hopkins in Old Acquaintance to Elphaba and Galinda and wondering if Thackeray's novel was the first. I don''t consider Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility part of the same trend.

I don't believe we had a single classical record in the house when I was a kid. I think the first classical record that entered our house was the one I bought in junior high school - 8th grade - Ormandy's The Moldau, quickly followed by Adrian Boult conducting Greensleeves and other Brit bucolic music on Westminster.
-
I was thinking about a Gelson's run but I think I'll order in - maybe two tacos from the good Mexican jernt I like, or maybe a salad.

My parents had a console but I don't believe it was ever played. They were so naive that when I was given the soundtrack of The King & I for my tenth birthday, we all thought t was a 78 rpm record. For Christmas I got a 3-speed phonograph and could finally play it. There was no stopping me after that!
-
Bruce you might recall my parents had a nice stereo consule to the right of our piano. I don't think I ever played it when you were over since you were busy playing the piano. I wish I remembered the song my mother would request you play.
-
It's page 4!
-
We had a stereo-tv-radio combo......which was a drag because you couldn't play records if everyone else wanted to watch tv.
I got my own phono - also for my tenth birthday - and started buying records - but mostly 45 rpm "hit" records that I heard on the radio.
I don't think I ever had 16 1/4 rpm record......does anyone know what that speed was used for?
-
It is 68 degrees. I may go sit on the front porch in my rocking chair and yell at people to get off my lawn.

I don't believe ever seeing that combination. Our music was in our living room and our tv was in our den. My parents decided they didn't want to look at the tv and hid it inside a closet in our den with wood doors we opened to see the tv.
-
That little closet was perfect when I had the first boy girl party in elementary school and it was used for private kissing when playing spin the bottle ;D

Jane, yeah, what song would it have been back then?

The first phono I remember in our house was when I was really little - a machine that not only played 78s but also on which you could record your own record, talking or singing or whatever. I have one of those players in storage along with a lot of blank discs. I never tried to use it.
-
Then we got a console that played regular LPs, but not stereo, at least I don't think it played stereo. Probably around 1957, before stereo consoles were readily available. I also had a portable RCA player that played 45s.
-
So, my first stereo was the Columbia House Stereo with detachable speakers and the first stereo album I got from the club was, I think Gypsy, and then Mr. President and Subways Are for Sleeping, but those were 1962 and I know I got other stuff before that. Also, the soundtrack to West Side Story would have been in January of 1962. I probably got the record player in 1961. First stereo record I bought was the box set of Ben-Hur.
-
Kind of a useless day, really.

Got to make an appointment with an eye doctor very soon.

The 16 2/3 rpm speed was very low fidelity, only good for speech, not music.
When my parents bought that first 4-speed record player, a promo item that came with it was "The Talking Bible". It was a box set of 45-size records that presumably had someone reading the entire Bible. I don't think they ever listened to it.
Later, a few audiobook-type things were issued at 16 2/3 on 12" records. I might even have one here, of someone reading Proust - "Swann in Love", most likely.

I am watching The Big Night starring John Barrymore, Jr. on Screenpix....and interesting film directed by Joseph Losey with an interesting gay subtext.....
And of course Screenpix is the only service that would show The Big Knife followed by The Big Night.......

Our first family stereo was a hi-fi that folded down out of a cabinet. Kinda portable but really too big. Then we got that octagonal end-table thing. U.S. kids were given a cheapie kids turntable to play 45s. That thing probably ruined a lot of records. Finally when I was 13 I was given my own stereo. A Fischer with radio, turntable and tape deck.
-
I then took all the family records of which many were my dad’s classical. He turned us all on to Pachelbel’s Cano
-
One album I liked and still have is Cathedral Voluntaries & Processionals by organist E. Power Biggs.

You’d have a hard time explaining to a young person of today just how insanely popular organ albums were.

I don't remember if it was one of my dad's siblings or a family friend, but I remember going to someone's house when I was a kid and they had an organ in their family room. That was long before I ever took music lessons, so it was just playing on the keys quite randomly.
