Gracey follows me everywhere...I'm filling a gap in my classical music experience by exploring all of Bruckner's nine numbered symphonies by way of the much touted old Karajan set. Also spinning on my CD and DVD players this summer: more by Berlioz other than the Symphonie Fantastique...looking for a good recording of his Romeo et Juliette; found a Urania label remaster of Maazel and Berlin in this work, but without the vocal parts!...Borodin of the Russian Mighty Five is an old favorite of mine, and I'm revisiting his small but marvellous oeuvre. Look up his one opera on Amazon, Prince Igor. I stumbled on a DVD of a 1981 Bolshoi performance with Yevgenii Nesterenko in the title role, and I realized that I was sitting in the audience when this particular performance was filmed for Soviet TV broadcast. I added a review with memories on the Amazon listing for this DVD.
