Canadian progressive metal/rock band Voivod just announced they're playing with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra (conducted by Dina Gilbert) on January 29th and 30th 2025. I'm probably going to buy tickets and take time off but I really hope they release an album or a live video or something because that sounds like a fantastic show.

'Mornin' everyone who's up cooking and baking and everyone who's not! Mr. Baggins here, back with Morning Coffee Music, selections to get us in gear and in good cheer. I'm still waiting for my carafe of French Roast to finish its drip, but let's dive right into this morning's Bach to get things moving, shall we? Here are Preludes and Fugues Nos. 19, 20 and 21 from Book 1 of The Well-Tempered Clavier. Our harpsichordist for this six-record set is Malcolm Hamilton. From a 1964 release on Everest Records.

Ah, much better! Let's move up the Timeline just a touch and hear Haydn's Piano (or Harpsichord) Concerto No. 1 in D Major. We've heard Landowska play this, and I thought it might be nice to contrast it with a version with a modern piano, played by Alicia de Larrocha. From a London recording made in 1979.

Staying with Haydn for a moment, let's hear Horowitz play his Piano Sonata Hob. XVI:52 No. 62 in E flat major, recorded in 1932...still considered a reference recording!

I thought this would be a good day for a little Berlioz. Let's hear his Symphonie Fantastique, performed on a magnificent RCA recording by Charles Munch and the Boston Symphony, from 1954.

Now let's hear Our Favorite Hoser, Glenn Gould, in repetoire normally not associated with him: BRAHMS! This is the recording he made August 20, 1957 in Montréal, with The Montreal String Quartet, performing Brahms' Piano Quintet in F-minor, Op. 34.

We turn from Brahms to Chopin now, his Twelve Etudes, Op. 25, performed by our Brazilian pianista, Guiomar Novaes.

I do tend to lean more heavily toward piano/keyboard works, just because it is my native instrument. I'm also fascinated by the Oboe, and the woodwinds in general, as well as string orchestra works. There is something about the strings alone that is so unique. They don't NEED other instruments to say certain things. Such is the case with Dvorak's String Serenade, Op. 22. This album will always be in easy reach during Coffee Music, as it's just so perfect for it. Here is Marriner and the Academy from 1981. Pour a fresh cup and enjoy.

There are two times a year I tend to pull out Carl Orff's Carmina Burana to give it an airing, and those would be Spring and Fall. Here with this year's "Fall Emergence", as it were, is Seiji Ozawa, The Berlin Philharmonic, Edita Gruberova--soprano, Thomas Hampson--baritone, John Aler--tenor, and a MASSIVE combined choir made up of Shinyukai Choir, Knabenchor des Staats-und-Domchores Berlin, from 1988, on Philips...there just isn't a better, more impressive performance or recording of this piece out there. Enjoy!

And with that splendiferous piece to send us on our way, our Morning Coffee Music comes to a close for this Thursday. Oh, and yeah...gobble gobble. This is Mr. Baggins signing off for now, I'll return at 2pm Pacific with your Afternoon Stack of Classic Wax!

Until then, be kind, babies, be kind.

Baggins out.

ALRIGHTY, I've reached my destination yesterday, but I'd be lying if I said that I am feeling well.

I dunno how I will be online the upcoming days; working on drafts and holding a conversation probably won't be a thing. At best, I'll be lurking. I know I am currently in the middle of plotting with a few of you, so I hope you can forgive me while I fight this jet lag from hell.

Mind you, it took me like 30 minutes watching the Simple Plan ft. Montreal Symphony Orchestra Concert to remember that Pierre Bouvier and Tobias Forge aren't the same Person, nor are they in the same bands, that's how out of it I am.

On a brighter note, only after 3 hours here I discovered THIS (below) and it made a little bit up for it xD

I hope everyone else is having a better start of the week than me !!

Just got out of Said the Whale × VSO!

I was a little hesitant going in because well — it’s rare to have pop or rock rearranged for orchestra in a way that actually respects and takes advantage of the orchestra. In this case, with the arrangements done in-house by the VSO’s Alex Clark? They were amazing.

Said the Whale was down to their vocals and Tyler on guitar and Jacelyn on piano. Unlike many arrangements of pop for orchestra, these arrangements actually treat the vocals as an instrument & are not afraid to meet the vocals where they are. (BTW, Ben? Incredible belter.)

Clark seems to have deconstructed each song down to their base, and built them back up individually. Some naturally lend themselves to Celtic folk or Montreal indie, but he’s also introduced Britpop and 20th c soundtracks. Lines bounce between strings and brass, with whole verses of pizzicato, and percussion ranges from the normal to the eccentric (a church bell!). There were also places for the orchestra to shine with a delicate harp solo and an almost experimental horn outro.

In a few places Clark took out existing verses and breakdowns and completely reconstructed the song. The cold orchestral open was a nice touch. With “Wake Up”, Clark brought the syncopation across to the full orchestra which I loved. There were also places that played with the rhythm of the original song.

The early half of the show stuck to songs that lended themselves more to orchestral arrangements, so I was wondering how they’d handle upbeat rock songs such as “I Love You”, and the answer is: very fast bowing from the string section! (These songs did tend to deviate less from the originals.)

In general these orchestral arrangements that added new detail and emotions to some of my favourite songs. I would love to have them on tape. I would love also to see more indie bands do this with their local symphonies!

I was listening to Kent Nagano and the Montreal Symphony Orchestra's recording of John Adams' Harmonielehre again, and my partner said that the finale sounded famous and reminded her of the Grand Canyon Fanfare that James Newton Howard wrote for the early 1990s movie Grand Canyon. I told her that if we ever won a big 9-figure lottery, I'd want to give generously to our local symphony orchestra. She asked, "So you could pay them to play it?," and I replied, "Yes." More specifically, I'd want to create an endowment to fund an annual concert dedicated to musical works composed since 1900 that, without the endowment, would probably never feature in the orchestra's repertoire, either because the works are so massive that they would be too costly to perform (e.g., Mahler's Symphony No. 8, which requires two full choirs, a children's choir, a substantial number of extra instrumentalists in the orchestra, and over a half dozen vocal soloists) or because the works are so marginal that the orchestra's marketing team would never let them be programmed for fear that nobody would come to concerts featuring such works (e.g., a concert pairing Bartok's Cantata Profana and Stravinsky's Persephone, which are both extraordinary orchestral/choral works that are very rarely performed, in part because they're just not among the most well-known works by the respective composers). Anyway, I'd want the first concert to be choral and brass heavy, so, yeah, I'd want the program to consist of Howard's Grand Canyon Fanfare, followed by Janacek's Sinfonietta and Adès's America: A Prophecy and, after the interval, Britten's Sinfonia da Requiem and Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms. Such a concert would KICK ASS.

Monday, 11-25-24, 7pm Pacific

Welp, it has definitely been a Monday, hasn't it? Mr. Baggins here with some music to soothe your achin' nerves and help ease us all into a good night. Let's start the evening off with the music of Debussy, his "Nocturnes", L.91. No. 1 Nuages ("Clouds"), No. 2 Fêtes ("Festivals"), and No. 3 Sirènes ("Sirens") , performed by The Montreal Symphony, led by Charles Dutoit.

Now let's hear our Brazilian friend Guiomar Novaes, with her wonderful 1957 recording of the Op. 9 and Op. 15 Nocturnes from Book 1 of Chopin's Nocturnes.

Now we turn from Chopin to Haydn; we hear his Symphony No. 102, from a live recording made in 1971. Here is Lenny with The Vienna.

Let's hear them do Brahms' fourth and final Symphony, the Symphony No. 4, in E-minor, Op. 98, from a recording made ten years later, live, in 1981.

Next we hear the Beaux Arts Trio, with another of the Piano Trios of Beethoven. From a live performance, we hear them play The "Ghost" Trio in D Major, Op 70, No. 1. Splendid performance!

Next let's hear a unique performance of Schubert's String Quartet No. 14 in D minor, the "Death and the Maiden" quartet, in a version for string orchestra, performed by Seiji Ozawa, leading the Mito String Orchestra.

Next we have a real treat: the legendary Fritz Kreisler playing seven of his own works with orchestral accompaniment led by Donald Voorhees, recorded live for a radio broadcast in 1945! Here is Fritz Kreisler playing his own most popular works on The Bell Telephone Hour, the Complete Program from April 16, 1945. We hear his Concerto in the style of Vivaldi, Old Refrain, Liebesfreud, Liebesleid, Schon Rosmarin, Rondino on a Theme By Beethoven, Tambourin Chinois, and Caprice Viennois.

Now let's hear Fritz Kreisler, this time with Sergei Rachmaninoff at the piano, in their landmark 1928 recording of Grieg's Violin Sonata No. 3, in C minor, Op. 45., from a truly HISTORIC series of recordings the two made together on RCA Victor.

To wind things up this evening, I thought we might hear Elly Ameling, Soprano, Hans Deinzer, Clarinet, and Jörg Demus, Piano (made by Franz Rausch, Wien 1835), performing that glorious bit of Schubert known as "Der Hirt Auf Dem Felsen", or "The Shepherd on the Rock", Op.129, D.965., from their legendary recording made in 1965.

And with the dulcet tones of a young Miss Ameling, we bring this evening's program to a close. I do hope you've enjoyed the selections this evening, and maybe heard something new to your ear. This is Mr. Baggins signing off for this evening. I'll return at 8am Pacific with Morning Coffee Music.

Until then, dream sweet dreams, babies, dream sweet dreams.

Baggins out.
