@benwritesthings Actually the architect was Richard Ermisch, but it is just as miserable to look at https://t.co/1tyFgzCG5t

@Tonywauk i discuss this often with @tristan2512 who would like to keep the Rimsky in rep. as an independent work, the HvK recording is wonderful, even if it has precious little to do with the original Mussorgsky version - btw; have a happy....

@tristan2512 @hugh_canning I was at one of the Berlin concerts accompanying the recordings - almost 40 years ago - Feb. 1982: here is the recording of the live event: https://t.co/hT7yhadw84

@Tonywauk @hugh_canning @mvonschantz Yes indeed, I have fond memories of a run of Boccanegras in the early 70s at the Met with Wixell - along with Tucker and Maliponte

@RomaPete @JeanJCSibelius I still have my copy of the lp - bought at Sam Goody's on 49th Street - what a great recording - as are the other Oistrakh/Ormandy recordings -

I have hardly done any opera travelling in recent months, but that is changing now -- on the train to Berlin for the second cycle of the Herheim / Runnicles Ring at DOB. Rheingold tonight

@JumpUp1991 Why are you speechless? Petrenko studied music at the Vorarlberger Landeskonservatorium in Feldkirch, Vorarlberg, and his father played in the Symphonieorchester. The Mahler series there started 13 years and Petrenko conducted all the concerts
