TOD:

Rachmaninoff:
All-Night Vigil (choral a cappella)
Cello Sonata in G minor - full of the most gorgeous tunes throughout
Preludes (piano)

Mahler:
All of it: the symphonies, the orchestral song cycles

Ugh! The litter was particularly gross this morning, but it's finished and kitty cleanup is over.

A real time-saver! Now you can do two morning ablutions at the same time.

Thursday.

Really early Mahler recordings can be painful. (As can early Stravinsky or just about anyone, before orchestras got the music in their ears and fingers and could read and play them halfway decently.)

The most execrable Mahler I knew was this recording of the Sixth, the only one the school library had before the Leinsdorf and the Bernstein ones became known to us. It was 1968 and we had just experienced the Szell performances in Severance Hall, and this was all we had to go to for more. I always wondered how it came to be on the Epic label, but maybe they published a bunch of things like that, and who cares, really.

I guess the shower could function as a bidet while you shave or brush your teeth?

I believe it was Tevye's daughter Tzeitel who said "Because you're a girl from a poor family. So whatever Yenta brings, you'll take, right? Of course right!"

I like Mahler, but I listen to it much less frequently than I did "back in the day". I do love the song cycles that DR Elmore named.

As far as participation goes, in school I loved playing celesta in the Sixth, I played organ in the finale of the Second in rehearsal (the Allen organ literally crapped out on us just before the performance began), and I accompanied at least one choral rehearsal for the Eighth at the Cincinnati May Festival in the early seventies.

I don't know those Rachmaninoff pieces DR singdaw named, but I like Isle of the Dead and The Bells. I actually know the more common pieces very little.

Bring on the tacos. Please. I could use a circumvention right about now.

TOD sidestep:

In what movie, and from which character, did we get the line: "Wouldn't you just DIE without Mahler?"

Probably where DR Ron Pulliam is, too.

In fact, despite it FEELING like a Friday, it is most assuredly Thursday.

And you know what THAT means, do you not?

It's cubed steak at The Triangle for lunch! Oh, joy!

Attack of the 50 Foot Woman?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #59 on:** April 18, 2024, 07:52:40 AM »

Yesterday was Wednesday here in the CSRA.

I had an afternoon podiatry appointment at 3:30 p.m. I left at 1 p.m., drove to Aiken SC (where my appointment was) and went to The Fresh Market forthwith.

There, I purchased some yummies for dinner and later, and then drove to my appointment. I was a half hour early, but I had my cell phone.

It was a busy afternoon in that office, and a lot of people were waiting. I soon found myself to be among them as I wasn't called in until 4:18 p.m. and didn't see the doctor until 4:43 p.m. Yes, I was checking the time.

The doctor was really pleased with my foot (the one that had an ulceration alongside a large callous two weeks ago). She did a bit more trimming and suggested I not allow a new callous to go too long before coming in for another treatment.

She is a pleasant young woman with a 12-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter. They all went to Disney World last week. I pried that info out of her since she would have seen me last week but for her family's vacation. I wanted to know how it all went.

My drive home was better than I thought it would be given the time factor (I left a little after 5 p.m). Traffic moved nicely and my trip went smoothly.
