Keeping Score

This is amazing. MTT is doing an absolutely fantastic thing here. I just spent the better part of an hour on Rite of Spring. Astounding presentation; there are timelines, video footage, score study, commentary, details on the premier...I can't imagine how powerful this is when coupled with the DVD or PBS broadcast.

Crud. Uses the cursed Windows Media Player.

I fear it irrationally.

Heard about that on the CBC this morning: apparently San Fran is making a heck of a charge at bringing classical back to public favour.

Richard- If you click the "Go to" whatever piece's website, it runs on Flash. The link is on top of the page sort of on the right.

This is an absolutely incredible source for teachers of music appreciation, history and even theory (the scores are highlightable with markings, themes cricled, key areas highighted, meter is indicated, formal elements are indicated as well). I clicked around a bit more and saw that they are offering some development courses during the summer.

These are great videos. I wonder how the SFSO found so many telegenic folks while still having screened auditions!

I love this DVD series and have just picked up the Rite of Spring DVD (have to find the time to watch it yet). I've used the Tchaik 4 DVD several times at school to show the kids what a live performance of an orchestra is like. They're always fascinated and stop whatever they're doing to watch. It's also nice that there are interviews with the musicians and Mark Inouye (trumpet) is in one of the segments. I'm glad SFSO is doing a great thing for classical music (and for music education too!).
