Subj: [DR-L] Stravinsky Danses Concertantes query
Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2005 18:56:10 -0500

Greetings -

I've just been listening to an old recording of Danses Concertantes
by Robert Craft with the Columbia Orchestra (under the supervision of
Stravinsky, according to the insert) and am curious about the oboe
sound. Can anyone tell me who was playing on that recording and
whether the sound was usual for that player? I started off disliking
the sound, but then began to think that it really suited the
character of the piece ; so I wonder whether it was something that
Craft/Stravinsky asked for particularly.

Spedding Micklem (playing it next week end and wondering whether to
try for something similar)
