Ramon Khalona would like to know more about my memory of hearing Fricsay doing Bruckner with the RIAS orchestra: >If you can provide more references (works conducted, date, location, >record number, etc.), I would be very grateful. I'm sorry but I can't. I rummaged around a bit in the cellar but all I could unearth of Fricsay on vinyl were some Haydn symphonies. All this, memory and vinyl cache, goes back to the earlyish fifties, when I was living in Berlin--or possibly a bit later when I had moved to Bonn but kept going to Berlin on jobs. I'm basically an attender, not a collector. Back in those days, in order to attend RIAS orchestra concerts you mostly had to go to the RIAS building,or if you wanted to hear the Philharmonic, to a large movie house that had survived wartime bombings and siege; both these venues happened to be in the American sector of the then four-power city.
