Newsletter - October 1, 2025

It has been several weeks since the 2025 East Coast Brucknerathon took place. By all accounts, it appears to have been a success. In recent years, we have grown accustomed to last minute "glitches." Two years ago, on the night before the listening session, the session host contracted Covid. In a matter of hours, a new site had to be located, a sound system had to be installed and all food and beverages needed to be shifted. This year, everything was cool until 11PM before the session when the host informed me that the his turntable belt had broken. The catch here is that the ENTIRE program was scheduled to feature recordings on LP! So, my extremely heavy Technics SP 10 turntable was transported to the host's site and everything continued on as scheduled.
