That is, the thing for which you are willing to wait The San Diego Symphony concert on Sunday, May 11th was not quite everything I was hoping it would be. The concert started with a cello concerto by Unsuk Chin, but I was there to hear Bruckner’s Symphony No. 7. This wasn't exactly a bait and switch situation; rather, it was the pairing a piece of music that no one would go to hear on its own merits with a piece of people that people would go to hear.

A deep dive while staving off dotage I spend a significant amount of time walking and going to the gym each week. Besides staving off the days of my dotage, it gives me a chance to listen to a lot of music. I’m not sure where the thought came from, but I realized that I wanted to take a week to listen to only Antonín Dvořák. I had listened to his Symphonies 7, 8, and 9 for decades, but had barely touched his other symphonies.
