ChrisH:
I might be more interested in the trumpet concerto. Hakan Hardenburger is amazing.

barryguerrero:
Yeah, but it's a modern 'horror show' of a piece - not really my cup of tea. If it were Jenni' Higdon, I'd be more interested.

I don't mind the 'horror show' if it's something for trumpet. I like to see how far the instrument can be pushed. As for the M2, I need another one like I need a hole in the head.

barryguerrero:
I see your point. I have two perfectly good DVD's of M2 myself (Boulez, Chailly). I am curious about the combination of Nelsons and the VPO. I saw him do two concerts with the VPO in Berkeley and they were terrific. Then again, the VPO could stick Clint Eastwood's empty chair up there, and they'd still sound spectacular.
