Well, you've read the notes, the notes were very Russian, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're Russian but they don't seem to be getting anywhere.

Anne Cusack, Los Angeles Times
REDISCOVERY: Corina Boettger stars as J.M. Barrie’s perpetual boy in Santa Barbara Theatre’s revival of the 1950 “Peter Pan.” Not a musical but a play with music, it’s billed as the first production using Bernstein’s full score.

LATIMES

Quote

For years, "Peter Pan" stayed buried in plain sight, listed under "Theater Works," that could be licensed for performance. In 1997, Alexander Frey, then the Rome Philharmonic Orchestra's U.S.-born principal conductor, came across a song, "Dream With Me," which had been cut from the original Broadway production.

"If there was one song cut from the original production, might there be more music existing that may have met a similar fate?" Frey wrote in the liner notes for the 2005 recording he conducted for Koch International Classics after years searching for the answer.

Amazing - buried until 1997 when that clever conductor "rediscoverd" Dream With Me.

I guess BK's recording, "The Musical Adventures of Peter Pan" the year before is just chopped liver.

Long ago DR Beekay (Brad) has broken his leg - falling from scaffolding whilst painting his house.

He will have quite a few weeks off work - I'll try and encourage him to make a return visit here. Usually he worked shift work at hospitals and really found it difficult to post much.

He lives about a four hour drive away from here but I shall try and visit in the next few weeks.

TOM: You were in my thoughts yesterday when I read that a new store has opened in our local Mall - Exotic Pets! I can buy a Wallaby or a Kinkaju and heaven knows what else. Apparently the Wallabies are US bred for the pet trade

Well, my Son-in-Law has finished refurbishing the California house and is about to start his long journey home to his family in Maryland. He's driving a truck and towing a large trailer - and has never done any long distance driving. I laid out the whole trip for him and made all his Motel reservations. Hopefully, the weather will behave as best can be expected in December. (I warned him in Aug that he'd best plan on leaving no later than the end of Oct.)

The Itinerary:

Sunday - Claremont CA to Gallup NM - I210 to I15 to I40 [610 miles]
Monday - Gallop NM to Clinton OK (Outside OK City) I40 [600 miles]
Tuesday - Clinton OK to Brownsville TN (Past Memphis) I40 [610 miles]
Wednesday Brownsville TN to Roanoke VA I40 then I 81 [585 miles]
Thursday - Roanoke to home via Washington DC and Annapolis MD I81 to I66 to I95 to US 50/301 [323 miles].

All his accommodations are right at numbered off ramps and have food within walking distance.

The dive in gas prices will make the journey more bearable.

Sunday morning greetings! It's my (last) one-day weekend and Richard and I both are staying home from church. He's on the mend, but still not up to anything elaborate.

Happy birthday, DR Tomovoz!

Nothing elaborate is the perfect way to spend a Sunday now and then, DR GINNY.

Travel vibes and music for DR ELMORE.

DR Laura - welcome home. I'm glad you were able to be with your sister.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #29 on:** December 14, 2008, 05:56:43 AM »

Good morning, all! I am packed and rarin' to go. In about 2 hours, I'll call my car service and head out to LaGuardia. Keep them vibes coming!

The PETER PAN publicity really irks me for several reasons, some personal and some scholastic, but when I was working on 1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE for the Bernstein estate in the late 1980s, I wanted to edit a new edition of the PETER PAN music but I was told no one would ever be interested in it. Given what Alexander Frey recorded, I think I would have done a better editorial and scholastic job. Much as I like a lot of his recording (not, however, the Captain Hook!), I find its notes vague and an insult to musicology. As to the wonderful "Dream With Me," he records an inflated version of the song created for the Chelsea review BY BERNSTEIN from the 1970s, later scored for full orchestra by Sid Ramin, and passes it off as the song from the original production. The version BK recorded is exactly what exists on the original manuscript, not an expanded concert piece, which is all wrong for the songs written for PETER PAN.

Now I've vented, once again, on my wrongs by the Bernstein office. Come back, Charlie Harmon! They need you.

DR DearReaderLaura, welcome back! I've missed you and your photos. I'm glad your sister is doing better.
