I’ve very much liked Morlot’s recordings with this orchestra so far.

I just have a hunch that Marot will knock it out of the park. I think it might be an M6 for the ages. Maybe. The orchestra would have to have his back.

[erikwilson7]

You’re probably right. Like I said, Morlot has recorded some great stuff with Seattle, including plenty of contemporary stuff and an Ives cycle (the No. 2 is very good).

I WILL BE THERE!

I think I will go for the Saturday concert in the early April.

Anybody planning to come to Seattle for the concert?

No offense is meant in saying this, John. After hearing Bychkov/Vienna Phil. perform M6 in Berkeley, I think I've pretty well retired the piece in terms of live performances. I also heard Zinman do it in S.F. about 20 years, and he added the electronically enhanced hammer-strokes in the finale. The floor shook a little bit, and it sounded as though someone had set a bomb off underneath the stage. That was fun. I really can't afford much travelling at this time either. But I do hope it turns out great and you have a really fun time!

Barry,

No problems!

I guess Morot is replacing Dausgaard for this concert?
