Metamorphosis: The Transformation of the Bournemouth Symphony
• Metamorphosis: The Tr...
This documentary tells the story of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra’s rise to international acclaim while under the baton of Maestro Constantin Silvestri. Ray Carpenter (1922-2017), the symphony's principal clarinet, shares his memories along with historic materials-photographs, excerpts of musical recordings, newspaper clippings, and programs. Ray provides insight into his own musical coming-of-age as well as musical life during the Silvestri (1961-1969) years. Despite his short tenure with the symphony, Maestro Silvestri managed to transform a provincial band to an orchestra whose performances were praised in and beyond London.

O versiune de referință, datorată unuia din marii maeștri ai artei dirijorale românești și Orchestrei Radio, aflată într-o formă, pe care,din păcate, n-a mai atins-o de atunci. Ce tragedie,că n-am știut să ne păstrăm marii artiști...

I had the pleasure of visiting Bucharest several years ago and meeting with the very gracious head of your Radio, Liliana Staicu as well as attending a rehearsal of the orchestra. I can't remember at the moment who the conductor was, but they seem to do quite a fine job.
I would love to return to Romania some day and visit the countryside as everyone was so friendly and helpful and the food was FABULOUS.

Hadn't heard this splendid recording before. Thanks much, Glen.

Then I guess you had never REALLY heard Shostakovich's 10th.
