you're right, greg...that was leinsdorf on piano in the schubert in severance...30 years is a long time to remember details...babin did play the beethoven piano quintet with the ww at severance on a sub series just after the strike...it was followed by beethoven 9, szell conducting?....
I do remember a leinsdorf/cleveland performance of a wind ensemble arrangement of Kurt Weil's threepenny opera with leinsdorf conducting without a podium, maybe 1970 or 71....there was some inspired sax playing from peterson and a beautiful "polly's song" solo from mr marcellus...
I remember hearing mr marcellus play the 1re rhapsodie, with, I think, boulez conducting...maybe 71-72....are recordings of that around?? I rember the audience went nuts, like a brown's game...
cleveland was a trip then...hear marcellus at severance on thursday, go to oberlin to hear mcdonald do bartok contrasts on saturday, take a lesson from squire at bw on tuesday...I was in high school....what a time....
