The Respighi is haunting and familiar at the same time in my mind....your reaction??

This is just what the doctor ordered. Plus a blood test, and I just ripped off the bandage. What a fine welcome home, thanks Bethany.

The slow part sounded like the soundtrack to a Cold War spy movie where there's not much action and everyone's doomed, so "haunting" seems right to me. This part just sounds really really pretty.

The key to Highbrow Town is lots of dead air between pieces, and then the highly polished pear shaped tones of a male baritone announcer. But you're close.

Heh, "Beaches" is on tv, on mute. Nino Rota is really adding to the drama of the film.

Hi, Adam. Been lurking all show long.

@Matt: yes indeed. The movie channel is the only channel with stuff on at this hour.

Hello:

Bethany,
Are you refering to the Saint Paul show? Is the church in Manhattan?

This piece of music seems just fine for lurking.

Yeah Stravinsky!
Speaking of which, Bethany, you've GOT to do a fill-in on May 29th, it's the HUNDREDTH anniversary of his premiere of "The Rite of Spring"! We can all riot where we're listening!

There really haven't been any good classical music-related brawls since then! ;)

Flew back in for the end of the Rota pieces. Perfect, just what I need.

Wonderful soundtrack to beautiful dreams...

@Caryn: Good idea, about time we had a tribute to Mysterious Manias!
@Adam: Of course. And respectfully sip wine and discuss during the riot's intermission.

Sorry if this has been talked about, I just got here, but is there any chance A440 will recieve a regular spot on the program schedule?

+10, Adam! :)

Agree with Adam and Hello--we must have at least an hour of this a week!

@Matt: in addition to being a rogue, you are a gentleman. :-) Thank you, Sir!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:57pm
Caryn:

@Matt: Satie's "Parade" had a bit of a fall-out, but most of the great stuff happened in the ensuing trial, and not at the performance. Steve Reich's "Four Organs" had a great near-riot at Carnegie Hall. That was memorable.

Thank you, good Sir of both Portland and Lynnwood! :)

Always wonderful to hear your show, Bethany! Take care and until next time, connoisseurs!

Night, all wonders!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:59pm

@Caryn: True, "Four Organs" was the most recent comparable event. With a guy walking up to the stage and screaming "You WIN! Stop!" :)

Sunday!

Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:00pm
Caryn:

@Matt: is that the woman who repeatedly banged her head on the front of the stage, wailing 'Stop, stop, I confess.'? Or a different listener?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:01pm
Matt from Springfield:

Till Sunday!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:01pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Caryn: Hmm, don't think it was "I confess", unless that happened at another performance!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:02pm
Caryn:

Who knows, maybe someone was walking up to the stage at every performance, such was the power of the piece...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:02pm

Sorry, it WAS Caryn! You were correct! :)

Gotta go! Have a wonderful remaining 4 hours of your birthday, Matt!
