Hi Barbara. Hmmm... yes I do understand the politics of these things... and you are correct. Thats life... and competition. Been doing a lot of thinking lately about human kinds obsession with competition... but thats another topic and for today I'll not go there. In a <<better>> (gawd did I use that word ??) world none of this would be a problem. Egos would not get in our way but actually help us improve. As for the recording. Sounds very much like the Bergen International Festival last year. ( Festspillene i Bergen ) and if so it was indeed my work. Truls Mørk was the cellist. I had some 45 concerts on that level at last years festival along with the parallel jazz festival. Sheesshh... doable (in this climate anyways) but I was beat when the 12 days were finished. This year I am extremely pleased to have Eric Schandall as my <<assistant>>. It will be great fun to have a friend to work with.... quite the opposite conditions from the politics thing mentioned above. Cheers RicB Hi Ric, It <can> be very political. Folks who get to go to New York, and should who know how to do the work, but don't bother. Folks who know how to do the work, and do it. Folks who don't know how to do the work, but try with not very good results. It would be nice if some dealers were a little friendlier about letting local, "non-dealer" techs go to New York. But that's life....and politics....and competition. Hey, today I was driving between appointments and heard on the show, "Performance Today" the Grieg Sonata for Cello & Piano. The announcer said it was recorded in Bergen sometime in 2007 Sorry, I can't remember what month or the artists' names, and don't recall hearing the venue's name either. Anyway, the piano sounded really great--as did the cellist. Can you recall if that was your work? Barbara Richmond, RPT near Peoria, Illinois
