The most
bizarre in my collection! Through the miracle of hi-tech, I
am performing with a 1940's newsreel taping of this concert with the
NY Metropolitan Opera conducted by Arturo Toscanini.....AND, playing with 2 of my
former teachers, who were on this orchestra during those years, Simon Kovar, bassoon and
Attilio Poto,
clarinet, WOW! How's that for happenstance? This project was an
experiment to contemporize Wagner's opera, Tristan und Isolde by one of the most
talented and imaginative writers I've ever had the thrill, challenge and
pleasure to work with, Frederick Myrow. May God Bless your soul
Freddie.
