Favoriting The Stork Club with Stork: Playlist from January 31, 2021 Favoriting

Stork's avatar View Stork's profile Favoriting

With billows and blasts from choirs and orchesters
Buskers and talkers
Big bands and squawkers,
the Stork Club has retained its qualities of decaying elegance and dwindling significance since the late 1950s.

Favoriting January 31, 2021: Melodies for Maladies
Alternating at the venerable Stork Club hammerklavier today are Franz Peter Schubert (a spry 224), and native Baltimorean Philip Glass. Journey along as we barely fill our jugs from these two deep musical wells in 3 measly hours time.

Several years ago, Philip came to WNYC for a Soundcheck interview around the time of his birthday. Our producer and John Schaefer presented him with a Carvel “Fudgy the Whale“ ice cream cake for the occasion. As a New Yorker, Philip totally loved it! If I can find the picture I’ll post it.

@RRN63: I'm very familiar with Allen Ginsberg's unmistakable voice. Years ago, I used a couple of his readings of Howl to fix bugs in software that was used to disguise the voice of witnesses in the Rwanda genocide trial. So I spent hours checking whether I could still figure out it was his voice

Thanks, Doc! Great Times piece. I will re-read later. I love the opening quote:
“I have hit old age,” Mitsuko Uchida, who turned 70 in December, said recently. “And the beauty of old age is, I am going to say things and behave as if I owned the world.”
Um, she always has. In a good way. She's one of the best interviews ever.

Zukovsky was the violinist for whom Cage first started writing the Freeman Etudes. Half-way through, Zukovsky declared he couldn't climb that mountain, so Cage halted work. Then Irvine Arditti urged him to complete it. Cage did so, Arditti recorded it, and it's a stunner.

Betty Freeman, dedicatee of the work, once stopped me during an intermission at a concert to ask if we'd met recently at a party. Uh, no.

Hearing that Knee Play sent me straight back to BAM, seeing Einstein on the Beach the last time they put it on. Just now, in the middle of it, my wife, who'd insisted we go, came in from walking the dog, her glasses fogged from the mask. "Hi. What is it? What are you listening to? Oh! I love the Knee Plays!"

Also, "pommes" is french for "apples". "pommes de terre" is french for "potatoes". Not saying that this makes sense

@Fred, it makes a wee bit more sense given the history of potatoes, as Peruvian imports that were viewed suspiciously by Europeans at first, especially because they had EYES so they must be, y'know, WITCH FOOD or something! I'm conjecturing here but maybe the French, not liking to accept foreign terms for things, just jury-rigged their own name for potatoes.

making an exception to my practice of not clicking a song if i own the recording with the Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, because he was the guy whose recordings got me connected to the art of lieder and not going to try to address the many vital opera roles he recorded.

I was introduced to lieder primarily by a neighbor who heard me playing varieties of early music, including Handel's Carmelite Vespers. She had collected a bunch of lieder and vocal recital LPs, but decided that I should have them. And so I do to this day. Learned from them about Mary Garden, Schwarzkopf, etc.
