Extractions: Today was nostalgia day with KFOX playing Beatles and my taking a trip to Tower Records. The latter continues its experiment in price elasticity . Me thinks the music retailers and labels continuing to raise their prices while facing increased competition for the entertainment dollar was a mistake. Or to phrase it differently, maybe it wouldn't have lasted but I've seen more people at the liquidation sale at Tower in the last month than in the prior six. On a related theme, Tom Jackson has an article about William Bolcom with this quote from the composer: Joan and I have made such a pittance that it’s almost laughable. You’d probably have to say the same is true of any classical artist. People like Yo Yo Ma and people like that are only selling a few thousand. What those CDs are for is awareness of what you are doing. They turn out to be essentially a calling card. Here are the calling cards I purchased today: Birdy Nam Nam . For everyone who says online music is better, I'll note that I pre-ordered this CD/DVD at Amazon back in May and have yet to receive it.

"Together the couple is, to borrow the title of an early Bolcom opera, 'dynamite tonight.' His brilliantly propulsive, imaginative embellished pianism provides her with a strong rhythmic framework. And Morris plumbs every number for its specific emotional content." Illustration: Edward Sorel

Extractions: review of "McTeague" interview with the composer re: "Symphony No. 4 (The Rose)" MOST COMPOSERS who write pieces involving poetry hope that audiences will familiarize themselves with the text before hearing the music. In the case of William Bolcom, whose Symphony No. 4 will be premiered in Powell Hall next weekend by conductor Leonard Slatkin and the St. Louis Symphony, the hope is especially intense. Not that it's necessary to know the poem ahead of time in order to understand it. On the contrary, it's a long but verbally simple poem, and Bolcom has deliberately set it in a way that promises to make its content intelligible to any listener on first hearing. And just in case his mostly syllabic treatments of the words and their generally transparent accompaniments aren't enough to make things perfectly clear, he suggests that the mezzo-soprano soloist be amplified so that she can pay particular attention to matters of diction and nuance. Homework is not required. Nevertheless, Bolcom says, an advance reading of the text - even if it takes place moments before the performance - would give audience members an enormous advantage in appreciating what the entire symphony is about.
