Egads! There was a time when the CBC would have marked this conductor's milestones by programming him conducting Mahler, Bruckner, or modern Dutch composers. Not anymore.<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/>David CavlovicPliablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-82046169482821257862009-03-04T16:49:00.000+00:002009-03-04T16:49:00.000+00:00The Avro Dutch public radio (very "popular" radio ...The Avro Dutch public radio (very "popular" radio programming, but very innovative in "new media"!)<BR/>will host a couple of free live Haitink downloads, just like the RCO downloads from last year.

The mention of Rob Cowan deflated things a touch, his contributions to Gramophone being a notably low point in the decline of a journal I took so much pleasure in for so many years. But overall a lovely post.
