- From the collection of Sören Meyer-Eller (Munich, Germany), with special thanks:
1. Best of Symphonic Lehár (CPO)
2. Hába: Mother (Supraphon)
3. Fibich: Hippodamia (Supraphon)
4. Draeseke: Christus (Bayer)
If he's responsible for the Rosbaud and the other SWR boxes, then please give him a hug, that is spectacular material.
Absolutely!
Best double act since Matthau and Lemmon in The Odd Couple. Keep it up boys!
David can make Walter. His grimaces are good. I like Walter Matthau expression he is funny even if he says no word. There are few actors like that, Lui De Funes or Vlasta Burian. They are funny even if they dont speak and have charisma and energy.
This was a very special treat...thanks for including us in your travels.
And a very special thank you to your friend for his work with those wonderful collections 👍
Dave: I appreciate these "random reviews." Those were fun when you were doing them whilst moving.
Really amazing colaboration. We need more of these!!!
Also, I'd like to thanks mr. Meyer-Eller his work in those amazing Gielen and Rosbaud editions.
This was so cool, you two. Hope you do more of these, David, collaborations, interviews, what-have-you. Greetings from Berlin, Cristian.
What a great concept!
Dave and a guest of the week going head to head discussing unfairly overlooked masterworks.
Dave H. and Vladimir P. discussing the delights of the complete works of Cesar Cui.
A must hear.
You know? This could catch on.
Interesting, if not strictly pertinent fact to alleviate Draeseke's dullness: his grandfather Bernhard Draeseke was a pastor in Bremen who in 1831 accompanied notorious poisoner Gesche Gottfried to the scaffold. She had murdered 15 people and poisoned about 20 more.
What a treat this was! I was grinning ear-to-ear throughout. Thank you both!:)
Good fun. Love your guest.
This guy deserves much more subscribers.
Excellent. More of this please DH
Hope you had fun Dave. It’s good to maintain friendships!
I hope SWR can reissue Gielen's boxes someday. Didn't reach some of them in time :( Thank you for this wonderful video, Mr Hurwitz!
wonderful accomplishment of your friend from Germany. My dad worked for Mercedes Stuttgart and MBNA. greetings. I didn't know Lehar did symphonic stuff, or fluff your word! I hope to go someday and visit the car headquarters someday! There's a Nikish story on laziness he looks through the fugue by Max Reger Nikish looks through the score and asks where is the fugue? Reger sneers there is none. Nikish Oh. true story.
It's the Haba for me. A quartertone opera must be a life-changing experience one way or another.
I never knew about Lehar's symphonic output. Makes sense, though since the Theater an der Wien had no faith in Lustige Witwe as it was considered too symphonic and highfalutin for operetta!
What a wonderful duo act, by the way.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing your visit!
Loved this chat, would be great to see some more if you ever get the chance to in the future.
Wonderful. enlightening, and chock full of laughs and guffaws. Encore worthy!
Wow, Dave ! You just broke the Fourth Wall by introducing another locale and a guest(!) to the years-and -years long familiar solo setting! What next? Shaving of the beard? Bruckner with no horse Neighing? The Ninth with no tie? - nothing is certain anymore. Bless you.
Thanks for all the warnings!
Dave, next time you visit the Supraphon archives, please ask them to reissue
Ladislav Vycpalek's Sonata "In Praise of the Violin." Thanks!
It would be interesting if the two of you could discuss the Martinu symphonies under Roger Norrington on SWR Classic, as Mr Meyer-Eller is listed as the producer.
Had me smiling and laughing the whole time - if opportunity arrises, absolutely do more!
That was great fun.
You are in Germany! Would you be coming to Berlin? I love this collaboration videos i´ve been wishing for videos with Mister Levine and Mister Distler.
Will there be more podcasts with this gentleman? This was rather refreshing.
Someday, I hope. He's a shy sort.
@The Ultimate Classical Music Guide by Dave Hurwitz shy and retiring....clearly your common ground!😊
A huge thank you to Mr. Meyer-Eller.
I have most of the Gielen box sets as well as the Rosbaud/Mahler set. He really did a fabulous job. Some of the best packaging I have seen. Beautifully done. I did check out the Hába; it sounds very demanding and must have been inspired by Schoenberg.
Incredibly, it was written in 1929.
There was more going on in 1929 in the musical avant-garde then just Schoenberg.
@@DavesClassicalGuide I know. Nevertheless, to me the music has a certain Schönbergian feel about it.
I enjoyed that a lot. Soft-spoke gentleman on one side and quite the contrast on the other.
You're right. I'll ask him to tone it down next time.
@@DavesClassicalGuide Good one Dave!
Wonderful, so happy to listen to this!
Very entertaining. Soren seems like an amiable fellow.
He is the best.
Whoa. As someone who's always on the lookout for a vast music-drama canvas as an alternative to the Ring (Cauldron of Annwyn anyone?), I never heard of Draeske's Christus. I must give it a listen, despite the warnings of Mssrs. Hurwitz and Meyer-Eller of its lugubrious properties. I never heard of Hippodamia either, but I can give that a pass since it's evidently hours and hours of Czech speech over music.
this made my day.
The strange thing is that doing a good job on box sets does not require you to solve differential equations or perform feats of strength. All it requires is for you to care. And so few care! Kudos to Soren for his caring and dedication and a job well done.
Everything’s a solo if you come in too early. Ask me how I know… 😅
Believe it or not, I have Draeseke's "Christus." I have listened to it and it has a handful of worthwhile numbers, but, as you say, is quite a snooze fest.
Hi. I'm new to your channel, new as in
started watching today and I was wondering
if you have done, or could do a sort of " starting a
classical cd collection for beginners" type of video
to help me get a gist of what I need in my collection; any budget cds ( with reasonably
good sound quality) would be nice, some bang for my
buck in other words. Thanks for reading.
Thank you for asking. Have a look at the Essential Lists for Beginners playlists here: ruclips.net/p/PLAjIX596BriH_zrQze2Baqz0RwtqxR5SS, or Classical Music for Beginners. I talk about works more than recordings, but you can then looks at the work surveys too once you have a sense of what you want to hear.
His shelves don't sag in the middle - now that's class. (So they can't be Ikea, but what are they, custom?)
Yes.
Thank God he didn't live to do Father or uncle 😂😂😂
