Another Sunday Afternoon

Another fine organ concert on the 1962 Rudolf von Beckerath Organ at this year's Saint Paul Cathedral Organ Concert Series, the last concert of five. Amanda Plazek Bruce played works by

Johann Sebastian Bach

Peter Kolar

Jean Langlais

John Dixon

Aaron Shows

Dieterich Buxtehude

Zsolt Gárdonyi

Marcel Dupré.

 

The concert got recorded and will hopefully be broadcast on Classical WQED-FM Pittsburgh -- providing that this station will exist any longer. You might have heard that the funding of public radio and tv is no longer guaranteed.

Robert Wilson 1941 - 2025

 

The first time I read his name was on this record, somewhat in the early 1980s. A four-LP-set. Later, because of its mediocre sound quality, Einstein on the Beach became my first CD set. I never saw the opera on stage, which I still regret.

I've never been a big theatergoer, but I've never missed Robert Wilson's productions at the Thalia Theater in Hamburg.

Bye bye, Robert Wilson.
