Well, you've read the notes, the notes were spoken as in I has, and now it is time for you to post until the spoken cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: COHESIVE!
-
And now - Dino at the piano.
-
Congratulations to DR TCB on the nomination recognition.
-
Since we've been talking of box sets of late, I pulled out my Howard Hanson box. Some glorious stuff there.
-
Yesterday was J.S. Bach day in the notes. I forgot to post then that I have the Bach 333: The New Complete Edition, which contains 223 discs and which will take some time to get through in its entirety.
-
There are, I believe, at least 3 different versions of each of the Passions.
-
I read that Zoom is suspending its 40-minute limit for meetings for free account holders for Thanksgiving Day. A very nice gesture.
-
Good morning, all!

Someone should bind Trump's tweeting hand behind his back with cohesive tape. And his mouth, too.

BK, I don't know if you have ever seen this 1954 stop motion film adaptation of Hansel and Gretel, but I recommend it highly. It was made in a studio in NYC, produced by Michael Myerberg, producer of Thornton Wilder's The Skin of Our Teeth, conducted by the great Franz Allers.
The cast includes:
Constance Brigham (a mermaid in Leonard Bernstein's Peter Pan) as both Hansel and Gretel;
Mildred Dunnock (Death of A Salesman) as the Mother;
Frank Rogier (Menotti's The Medium and The Telephone) as the Father;
Delbert Anderson (Wonderful Town) as the Sandman;
Anna Russell as a very campy, funny witxh, Rosina Rubylips.
The score is abridged to around 80 minutes, and the film is delightful. I still laugh and appreciate the beauty of its designs.

And that is how, at the age of eight, I learned what camp is, courtesy of the late great Anna Russell. I blame her doe the rest of my life.
-
I also think Humperdinck's Hänsel und Gretel is the greatest Wagner opera ever written. It's composed by a disciple of Wagner, who assisted on the premiere of Parsifal, it's brief, and never outstays its welcome, as many of Wagner's interminable operas are want to do, and I believe the premiere of the opera was conducted by Gustav Mahler, whose symphonies our BK has been listening to/.
-
We're starting to watch the new seasons of our favorite TV shows:
NCIS
THE F.B.I.
CHICAGO MED, FIRE & P.D.
Maybe it's just me, or maybe it's the COVID, but they all seem sort of dull this season.
-
I may have to drag out that DVD and watch it again this week. The Met used to produce it every Christmas season, and their production was quite lovely. I do have a hard time watching two grown women pretending to be children, but the Met cast is good, and Rosaliond Elias os a wonderful witch.
-
Yesterday, I got what looks like an interesting book.
It's called THE BIG GOODBYE, and it's about the making of CHINATOWN.
I'll probably start reading it this weekend.
-
This German film uses a good opera cast, and I love the witch, who emerges from the gingerbread house as a motherly type who progresses into an evil, ugly villain. The film catches the evil in the morality tale very nicely. The Met version is much more gemütlich and charming, but I like them both.
As far as CDs, I prefer the von Karajan with Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and the Einhorn with Anna Moffo and Christa Ludwig's epic witch.
-
I did not venture out to the pharmacy yesterday, so I may do it today. I could wait till tomorrow, since the temperature is supposed to go back up into the 60s . . . decisions, decisions!
-
DR singdaw, that shepherd's pie recipe looks dreadful. I bet Judy added a few pills as well.
-
It's time for kitty cleanup.
-
The Radio City Christmas Tree has been set up for decoration, and they discovered that an owl was a stowaway in the tree;s trip to Manhattan.
-
Good morning, all.

No, I did not know about the Klemperer/Klemperer connection.
I also didn’t know that Dad Klemperer had been conductor of the L.A. Philharmonic in the 1930s.
-
I also see that I should bring a little Hänsel und Gretel back into my life, since I’ve more or less ignored it for many years.
I might still have the 1950s Met recording on Odyssey (that would be the English version?), but that’s probably all I’ve got here. DR Elmore’s links look great and I shall do something about this, this very season.

There are at least three English recordings:
The Met recording with Max Rudolf conducting for Columbia Records.
The Sadlers Well Opera on EMI.
The Chandos Opera in English recording conducted by Sir Charles Mackerras
-
BK, I think you might enjoy these two 20th century operas.
Weinberger was a Catholic who fled to the USA to escape the Nazis, and Schwanda the Bagpiper was a huge success internationally in the 1920s and 30s. Its Polka and Fugue have become a popular concert piece.
Walter Braunfels was Trude Rittman's mentor, whose work was banned by the Nazis, and he's now getting rediscovered. Die Vogel sounds like prime Richard Strauss. It's very beautiful.

And kitty cleanup is over.

It's the Max Rudolf that I have. I see it got its start on 78 rpm. Mine is on Columbia's budget label Odyssey which I remember buying at Phil Harris on Hollywood Blvd. in 1972.
I also have this other one he conducted with a different cast (Hurley, Miller, Resnik) for the "Metropolitan Opera Record Club", a series issued by the Book-of-the-Month Club. A few of these were also issued by RCA (who I think would have done all the pressings anyway), and my copy has the RCA logo at top right with an LM number, and a completely blank back side. Hmm.....
-
HA! I was going to mention the Klemperer connection today - I assumed it was general knowledge. But MR BK took care of it in the notes.

As I read DR singdaw's post yesterday, I kept thinking how much more interesting JUDY would have been if Renee had spent half the movie making that shepherd's pie.

Kristi just got a phone call from CVS saying that they're out of flu shots. She'd made an appointment to get one tomorrow. They said Walgreens and the other local stores are also out as of yesterday or today. She hadn't had one in years and was going to resume with this one. I'm sure she'll do fine because she's exceedingly careful and rarely even gets a cold.
But if it turns out they really aren't getting any more supply this year -- with participation up for obvious reasons, and greatly encouraged by the medical professionals -- how are they ever going to manage an eventual Covid vaccine?
I'm very glad I walked into Walgreens last Friday and got mine.
-
TOD:
Several, but I will go with the first one I heard that made me think....it's a Sondheim/Styne song....."Some People."
Just made me think that if you want it - go get it! I was about 11 years old when I heard the first time.
-
I ordered the 1954 stop-motion film and the 1982 Met production of H&G, and I might get that other one DR Elmore recommended later on. Looking forward to kicking off the season with these.

Good Morning - all is calm this morning as we go through yet another day with 5 people out - 4 people quarantined and 1 person out with the flu. All hands on deck! I actually only have 1 class today and it's in person! So no Zoom classes today. 3rd grade and I will continue with the joys of learning to read music and write on the staff.
This afternoon, I have the walk-through of the new place. I'm very excited by that. My friend Sabrina will accompany me as she knows all of the furniture and stuff I have because she has moved me several times. LOL. Hoping all questions will be answered and the move next Friday (!) will be a smooth one. I did order the truck last night!

Thursday morning greetings! Whew, just got that one in under the wire...

Good news: Some stores do still have them, and she'll get her shot this evening. The supply is low in this area, but we're all covered.
-
More good news: The Met H&G will be delivered Monday, so I'm assured of having at least that one over Thanksgiving weekend with which to bring in the Holiday Season Proper. A little Nutcracker wouldn't hurt none, either.

When it comes to The Nutcracker, I've seen most of the videos, along with the other two Tchaikovsky ballets, and these are my top choices. I think Balanchine's is the best, and I prefer this PBS broadcast to the film with Macaulay Culkin, although the color seems off. The San Francisco Ballet peroduction is nice, set in San Francisco in the 1890s, which is similar to the Cincinnati Ballet's production, set in old Cincinnati.

The fear of this is why Keith insisted we get ours early. Darn, I was right. They still would have had them in late September, early October when I wanted to go.

Exciting. I hope it goes well. This is the first person I have heard of that has the flu. Of course it was connected with exposure to children.

Were they hanging out together without masks or taking any precautions?

Bruce that was quite an opening on your notes today. Kudos to you.
-
I also like this Royal Ballet version of The Nutcracker, choreographed by Sir Peter Wright. To my knowledge, this was his first attempt, and to mind his best. I would guess there are now 3-5 other videos of his later stagings for the Royal Ballet and other companies that only get worse as he "improves" the work.
-
I must call my urologist's office tomorrow to set up this December CT-scan.
-
I have a few Nutcracker DVDs but I couldn’t tell you which ones they are.
Will check them later.
In the meantime, I have my favorite recordings which are:
Dorati’s on Mercury (I think it’s the first of two? - if so, I may or may not have the second)
Ansermet’s on London (my first one ever, and a real favorite)
Fiedler’s excerpts (nicer than just the Suite, and beautifully done)
-
Good afternoon!

I am curious about this as well.
-
At 5pm we will find out if any of the covid restrictions will be lifted in my province.
I hope that they will let 1-2 people go in other people's houses spaced 6 feet away.
What they are planning to announce is what we are allowed to do for Christmas. And what the kids will do for school in December. They were thinking of having the kids be off for an additional 2 weeks.

Dorati's first Mercury recording, along with his Sleeping Beauty, was really spectacular. I wish the Fiedler excerpts were on CD. It's really good. The Dorati was my first recording through the Columbia Record Club. I really liked the Kapp recording of the NY City Ballet Orchestra conducted by Robert Irving amd I wish that were on CD as well.
-
I think the Sondheim song that still reduces me to a blubbery mess is "Anyone Can Whistle."

I just read that Richard Schiff has been in the hospital with covid. He is off of oxygen and hopefully beginning to recover. His wife and son are sick at home but ok. I did not realize that his wife his also his Good Doctor wife.

Interesting on the TOD. I was reading it differently. Everyone is interpreting "gets you" as in, it affects you. I thought bk meant what is the Sondheim song whose lyrics capture your essence. A very different thing!
-
I'm up, I'm up - was up at seven-thirty after only four hours of sleep, then went back to bed a little while after and slept till one and I've been catching up ever since.
-
Already been to the mail place and am back, have ordered Hugo's pasta papa with a 30% off deal from Postmates, which rendered the price cheaper than if I'd actually gone there, and am listening to music and shortly I'll have to prepare for this Zoom meeting.
-
There's one recording that's on its way that actually uses young people and apparently it's very good. I may get that animated version after I've heard the thing and maybe a normal version to see the staging.
-
elmore, I'll try those two operas - I have most of that Entarte series on London and love everything I've heard.
-

And yet he actually said “gets to you”. The plot thickens!

May I just say what needs to be said: Rudy Giuliani is out of his mind and should be put away somewhere.

I love Dorati's The Nutcracker.

One of the worst books EVER. I wrote about it extensively right here when it came out back in March, but then you'd have to actually read the notes to know that. :)
-

That Schwanda recording seems to be OP in the USA but still in print at amazon.co.uk. They sing it in German, not Czech, which is fine with me. I think my Universal Edition vocal score is in German, too. There's also a DVD of the Braunfels opera from Los Angeles, and it's quite lovely. It might be sung in English. I can't remember.
-
May I just say what needs to be said: Rudy Giuliani is out of his mind and should be put away somewhere.
I agree, and the fact that he's Trump's personal attorney says it all. I told him he should never use shoe polish to touch up his gray spots, but he never listens!
-
And yet he actually said “gets to you”.
Well, blimey! I stand corrected.
-
There's no translator listed, so maybe it was sung in German. It's definitely worth seeing. It's based on Aristophanes' comedy The Birds, in which the birds realize that their Cloud Cuckoo Land lies between Earth and Heaven and that the gods need to cross through their country to get to earth. So . . . they decide to charge the gods a toll. It all goes to hell.
-
I had a nice afternoon of collecting food at a drop off in front the theater where I usher. The food was for the San Antonio Food Bank and one of the first people to drop off food also wrote out a $500 check.
-
It was a perfect afternoon with a light breeze and temperatures around 80. The folks who dropped by were really nic, glad to be able to help out. We gave everyone a wine coozy and a Fiesta medal. If there were multiple kids in the car, each kid got a medal.
-
We also took in three times as much food as last year's drive. The weather may have had something to do with it. Last year, it was cold and rainy.

Hansel und Gretel was the first opera I ever knew about. We learned a modified version when I was in the third grade. I still love those songs, so ethereally beautiful.

Is this a sequel or companion piece to the Shevelove and Sondheim's musical The Frogs, which is also based on Aristophanes' original?

Looks like you’re correct, sir. Christmas Day, 1931.

I didn’t know that, but it seems so perfectly appropriate.

As do I. I also feel terrible for all of the restaurants that have been following the rules.
-
I understand why people didn't want covid tracers on their phones. If people had been willing to do it we would have a better idea of the safety of restaurants and other businesses. Restaurant owners might have been able to prove they are safe, or at least not have been so angry they were shut down again.

Must shower and then do the Zoom thing, which hopefully won't take more than an hour.

I just read the NY Times article on possible causes of Rudy Giuliani's hair drip. They are funny. I think the mascara one is most likely. I have used mascara to add golden tones to my hair and it doesn't stay in well.
-
This reminds me of the time in high school it began raining and my hair color dripped down my face :D
-
In spite of my father's complaints I had been slowly making my hair lighter & lighter. When he had to take my mother to The Menninger Clinic I thought I would surprise him and darken my hair some. Poor man returned home to find his normally calm 17 year old daughter hysterical and refusing to go to school with grey hair. Who knows, maybe it was just the distraction he needed. Frustrating is that he told me he liked my hair the lighter blond.
-
After that he paid for me to go to a hair salon and have my hair color done professionally. They had to strip the grey out and recolor it.
-
For some reason I needed to use a rinse on my hair with each washing, and that is what dripped down my face that day. At least by then I thought it was funny.

So, it's official...Georgia hand count of votes affirms Biden's narrow victory over Trump (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/georgia-expected-release-results-trump-biden-hand-recount-n1248234).
"Trump picked up about 1,300 votes in the recount which leaves Biden with a 12,000-vote margin, Georgia official says."

Made potato salad for a socially distanced birthday party tomorrow night. Should be fun. I just hope I remember to take Gail's birthday present. And the potato salad. And my brain.

It's been that kind of week.

Well, I'm leaving work. Our computer system had to be taken down for some "Emergency maintenance. We apologize for the inconvenience but the following services will be unavailable tonight due to emergency system maintenance: the library catalog, Overdrive, Kanopy, and library databases." That means that I can't do my work, so I'm leaving.
Be back later.

So, the magically found 1300 Trump votes, but no one questions THAT. Funny.

Finished with my viewing and listening to more Klemperer and doing something I don't think I've ever done before - making faux garlic bread on a bun - we'll see how that works but it will be a nice snack, should it.

That sounds good.

One time, I wanted to make some (instant...don't judge) mashed potatoes and I didn't have any butter! But, I did have some garlic spread and used that instead. They were really pretty good. I like garlic mashed potatoes anyway and these hit the spot. :D

I know that some people look down on instant mashed potatoes, but I don't buy potatoes and my mom gave me an opened box of instant, so I made some...and I just like them.

Don't get me wrong, I like real mashed potatoes, too, but I don't mind slumming it once in a while. ;)
