Talk:Serge Koussevitzky

message: a "well-regarded number of musical works"?  was someone trying to say that the recordings are 
well-regarded?  this sounds like the works themselves are good, but the performances 
indifferent.  or that the *number* is well-regarded, which is even worse.
:It was a sloppy sentence; I fixed it.  Anyone can edit here, so if you spot another you can fix it yourself.  Cheers, Antandrus  (talk) 02:57, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

message: The Karr-Koussevitzky is neither thought to be made by the Amati brothers nor believed to be constructed in 1611 these days (). Referring to the bass as the Amati in the link would be perfectly acceptable as a common name, but the current link with date implies a definite attribution. -- ßottesiηi (talk) 19:29, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

message: According to this article Koussevitzky made the first recording of Joseph Haydn, Symphony No. 94 in G ("Surprise") with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, but no year is given. According to the CHARM database (http://www.charm.kcl.ac.uk/discography/search/page(2);jsessionid=08D86C00C0E49CDA722F409AAF60ABEB.balancer2) there is a recording dating from 1912, as well as two from 1925. Were these earlier than his? Cg2p0B0u8m (talk) 00:30, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks like that would be correct. Edward Young (ARSC Journal, vol. 21, Spring 1990, p. 65) says that Koussevitzky's first recording of the symphony was made on 22 and 24 April 1928 in Symphony Hall, Boston by Victor records. (I removed the item and added links to both parts of the discography to the "External links" section). --Robert.Allen (talk) 19:22, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  premiere recording of Haydn 94 

message: According to this article Koussevitzky made his first recordings in 1927. This is not supported by Edward Young's discography (in the "External links" section). He says Koussevitzky's first recordings (playing his double bass) occurred six weeks before his first commercial recording on 13 November 1928 (Strainsky's Petrouchka suite). I do not see a citation for the 1927 date. --Robert.Allen (talk) 19:55, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Koussevitzky's first recordings 

message: I don’t know much about Koussevitzky, but this section is rather odd: half is about the orchestration of a (for him, non-contemporary) 19th century work. This paragraph also has a long sentence about one conductor’s view about this orchestration and his recording, which does not seem germane, as well as an assertion that “practically every celebrated conductor in existence” has recorded it.

message: In the Reinhold Gliere article it says that Koussevitsky completed Gliere's concerto, while here says that Koussevizksky tried to claim it as his own. Would this concerto be the same as this one?
