Oh, I completely forgot today's media roll-call:
In my CD player at work: The Music Theatre of Wichita's cast recording of
HONK! I haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but I will. I got a copy of the original London cast from a Dear Reader and fell in love with it. It's weird NOT hearing the English accents, and the guy playing "Ugly" enunciates too much...the way you don't like it, BK...but he has a very nice and strong voice.
In my DVD player: the the non-understandable Swedish with no subtitles production of
Chess. I love this.
In my VCR: a tape to tape tonight's hour-long "Hope and Faith" with guests Regis Philbin and Kathy Lee Gifford.
Otherwise, tonight I'm ushering (yet, again) at the Washington Center:
The Seattle Symphony's annual sojourn to the Washington Center will include Gerard Schwarz as conductor and Jane Eaglen, soprano. The evening will feature Busoni Selections from Turandot Suite, a Bright Sheng World Premiere, and Beethoven Symphony No. 3, Eroica. Ms. Eaglen will perform the Bright Sheng premiere, to be repeated later in the season when the symphony and Ms. Eaglen visit Carnegie Hall.
We get to hear it before those Carnegie Hall people!
