Around the Web

For Saturday, January 23 through Sunday, January 31.

1) In the WSJ, Andrew Manshel asks: Are symphonies to big to succeed?

2) Joseph Fouche at Chicago Boyz: No one ever expects the Spanish Armada.

Remembrances:

Otmar Suitner (87), conductor of the symphonies of Dvorak, Mozart, and Beethoven, The Marriage of Figaro, Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel, musical director of the Pfalz orchestra at Ludwigshafen, chief conductor of the Dresden Staatsoper.

Earl Wild (94), pianist and performer of Buxtehude, Bach, Mozart, and Rachmaninov.
