The Symphony of Rhythm: Solti Conducts Beethoven’s Seventh
-
Always fun to watch a conductor rehearse something. This is from "Great Performances" in 1991.

That was back when I was involved with the symphony. I attended some of those broadcasts. It's interesting to see some of the orchestra members who played at our house (e.g. John Sharp, principle cellist). Fun to see the "screaming skull" conducting (Solti).

My sole excursion as an undergrad into the world of the School of Music, was a year long music history course (grad level, and I have no idea how I wrangled my way into it, other than I needed the credits, but not the coursework).
Louise Dixon was in that class with me (she just retired last year).

And Sue has aged very little in 30 years, just like the rest of us, amirite?
