Thanks you for your kind words. The last paragraph on my original post here is Mr. Tropper's words, rather than mine. I wanted to quote him fully, without taking anything "out of context" and then I wanted to get the post sent before our server timed me out, so I just stuck my signout, just above his last paragraph.
Good list! Mr. Genovese does seem to get lost in the shuffle. i remember I taped his recording of the Richard Donovan, Suite or Serenade with the Baltimore Chamber players (can that possibly be right after 50 years!), but the tape is gone now. And (Elizabeth) Greenbank who doesn't seem to get anything like the attention she deserves. I actually called the CSO Personnel office about 6 months after Ray retired to see if they had held auditions for his position yet, but they hadn't at that point. Then, about 6 months later I called again to see if they had finally held auditions and had heard her and they said that they had, but she wasn't what "...Barenboim was looking for". I thought to myself at the time, who was he looking for?! The King had just retired; how about hiring on a Queen or Princess of the oboe! Her playing in the Debussy, Danse Stryienne and the Gounod C Symphony is just outstanding and her Le Tombeau from on tour in Cologne was just excellent. There is that "proportion" found in her playing that Dick Woodhams talks about, in his tribute to John de Lancie. Regards, as I feel our server is about to axe me!
