ZOMG NEW ALBUM WANT WANT WANT IS IT DONE YET IS IT IS IT IS IT? NO? HOW ABOUT NOW? NOW GOOD?

And speaking of "This Corrosion," cluegirl introduced me to Lambchop's cover of the same, and it's nothing short of amazing. If you can find it (I'd be glad to slip you a copy), it's very much worth the while. Also also? I totally dare y'all to do any or all of the above. (You had to know that was coming. :) )

There's more melodic BOC stuff on Spectres, the followup to the album Don't Fear The Reaper is on. You might like I Love The Night or Nosferatu.

I don't have a dreamwidth account, so, responding here.

Will keep a lookout for such a concert at e.g. Bachtrack . com ...

Hrm. Sinfonia: Feb. 4 2016 in Seattle (Seattle Symphony, with Beethoven & Strauss though, not Dvorak & Borodin) ; Mar. 13 2016 in London (w/ G. Ligeti & Ogonek.) Possibly other places in this season, and of course in upcoming sesaons...

As to performances of the Borodin and Dvorak, the same site lists performances of the Polovtsian Dances in London on Sept. 11, Madrid on Sept. 29, Cardiff on Oct. 3, Nottingham on Dec. 20, Montreal on Jan. 14&17, Helsinki on Mar. 23&24 (with Rachmaninoff's Spring cantata), Bad Oeynhausen Germany on April 17, Detmold on April 19 and 3 other places on 3 other dates (same program and orchestra and conductor: Dvorak B minor concerto, Borodin, Rimsky-Korsakov Festival overture), Budapest on May 9 (with Gliere's harp concerto and Shostakovich symphony 11 "1905"), and Malaga on June 10&11 (with La Mer (Debussy, not Gilson) and Prokofiev's Sinfonia concertante)...

Wow, I hadn't realized there was such a useful website for that sort of thing - that's fabulous, and thanks for pointing it out!

I'm certainly going to bookmark the search for my state, and keep it in mind if I'm travelling. :)

and remembering as I should have that the site I mentioned doesn't really notice community orchestras well, there's at least one or two in the US that are playing the Borodin Polovtsian Dances and the Dvorak 9th in a concert sometime in 2016.
