Robert Stumpf: >Every now and then I hear some music on the radio, whilst tooling around >town, that I know, but don't know who is playing it. On the other hand, >I just HAVE to know what recording it is becuase I HAVE to have it. ... >Any similars to share? Usually, I have to pull over for music I DON'T know. I'm like Karl Miller in that regard. It drives me nuts, and I have to guess before the piece ends. I don't like what this reveals about me, but I'll confess anyway: almost always the performances I hear on the car radio that really grab me are performances I already know and like. I heard a really great Beethoven 8th recently while on a long drive. "This is wonderful," I said to myself and to my wife. "I wonder who it is." I kept pointing out to her little touches as I drove, annoying her no end with the interruptions and, it turns out, worrying her about the proper focus of my concentration as I drove. Anyway, it was Szell and the Cleveland, that classic account. Steve Schwartz
