Post by: elmore3003 on March 15, 2024, 04:40:07 AM: BK, that Ormandy Messiah runs a brisk 106 minutes because it is not a complete recording. If I remember correctly, Bernstein also did an abridged recording of the work for Columbia. The Ormandy cuts 16 numbers, Nos. 10, 11, 18, 27-32, 34-39, and 41. I suspect some numbers like "Rejoice Greatly" were cut becaise Eileen Farrell's voice wasn't up to the coloratura demands.

It just happens they were written about in the paper this week because they've been takeout only since the pandemic and people wish they would open back up. It's been longer than I care to think since I've had anything from there, so, a good couple of reminders.

elmore, pretty sure I said the Messiah was cut - if I didn't, I meant to.

I may have missed it. It gave me an excuse to look it up and see what had actually been cut besides "Rejoice Greatly." Curiously, the Bernstein recording was also heavily cut, so both recordings in the Columbia catalogue were incomplete. RCA had the complete work in the Goosens-Beecham Wagnerian opera orchestration, and Capital's classical side, Angel Records, had a complete, very Germanic recording with international opera stars conducted by Otto Klermperer. There was also a Westminster recording, also very German, from the Vienna State Opera.

All of those recordings would turn you off Messiag forever, although the Goosens-Beecham recording for a while was considered camp.

I reminded her of things that happened beginning four years ago that were far worse.

It's very well acted, funny, off-beat, somewhat violent and intensely interesting, thus far.

I guess 2th floor is read as tooth floor - so maybe there's a dentist there?

My cousin Susan (by marriage) has responded to the FB thread I referenced the other day.

Reading her comments sure made my blood boil. I know there are people in the world who think like that. Too many. But I try to insulate myself from such nonsense as much as I can.

Many years ago, when I was only visiting at Christmas, I heard her blathering on about something she heard on Fox News. I looked at her earnestly and asked her if she really believed what she had heard. She declared that she absolutely did...that Fox News was the only news network that told the truth.

I gawked at her and called it tripe for the simple minded. It took a few years for her to get over that.
