Sep 1, 2009 - I don't get it. At 0:45, the box says heavy metal.

Sep 2, 2009 - Remember those old Memorex commericials? Is it live or is it Memorex? Here the question (about the interpretation, not who is physically conducting it) is this: Is it Salonen, or is it Reiner? (I say Reiner).

Sep 2, 2009 - If you like the closing of this piece, listen to the final bars of Shostakovitch Symphony No. 12. Definite influence.

Sep 17, 2009 - Baba Yaga has the perfect speed to me. Most conductors are afraid to take it too fast it seems, but the piece just has so much energy when it starts fast like this its incredible.
