Anybody know who the young composer is, conducting the student orchestra in his own work under the eye of Maestros de Carvalho and Koussevitsky? Emory Waters In a message dated 12/11/2010 1:50:38 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
This was brought to my attention on the audio archivist's list. Though it is not specifically about the horn, this might be of interesting to the historically minded on this list. There are shots of the Boston Symphony and Tanglewood student orchestra horn sections and I would be interested in hearing if any of the student horn players can be identified. I don't have any information in front of me at the moment about the BSO horns, but I believe Valkenier was still active in the Koussevitzky era and I think it is him leading the section, though I would be happy if someone,who knows better lets me know I'm wrong. It is almost 20 minutes long and the narration is in french, but it does have a complete performance of Egmont Overture by the BSO, a whole movement of a work for chorus and orchestra by Randall Thomson and lost of "candid" shots of life at Tanglewood. Most of the horn-related stuff is in the first half in case you have a short attention span and want to move on before it is over. http://www.ina.fr/video/VDD09016050/tanglewood-ecole-et-festival-de-musique. fr.html Enjoy, Peter Hirsch _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/eww02%40aol.com _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
