TSO TO RECORD
The Tucson Symphony Orchestra will soon record its first commercial CD, it says here. I just wish the composer to be showcased were less justifiably obscure. (The first time the TSO played one of his pieces, a former orchestra employee mouthed to me from a couple of rows away, “Wasn’t that crap?”)
In the article, don’t completely trust George Hanson’s claim that this sort of recording and exposure are “unprecedented” for a regional orchestra. To take just one example, the Nashville Symphony was still classified as a regional orchestra when it began its extensive recording series for Naxos, a label that has given that orchestra far more exposure than the worthy but limited Canadian label Analekta can do for the TSO.
