RE: Re: TEST PIECE RECORDINGS

I think a lot of people have missed my point ,as a conductor you should have
the ability to study a score and attain a mind picture of what the music is
about(where did the conductors go for a recording of the latest European
test ) and the list could go on and on. What I am saying is we are not in
these cases of recordings etc. building a skill that will surely be lost if
it is not pursued by conductors in the lower grades particularly. After
rehearsing the work and using your skills then perhaps listen and compare
what you found to what has been recorded. This is a big problem we also have
here in Australia and perhaps it is one of the reasons that we are not
producing the conductors of quality as we had in the past. Can anyone
imagine Fred Mortimer, or here in Aus. Albert Baille searching frantically
for, as Roy Taylor suggests the adjudicator conducting it. We can all learn
something from any performance, even if its how not to play it.
