Dale Clevenger is a monster of horn.

This was great. Conductor's face at 38:05 WAS hilarious - boy was he pissed about something!

Questo pezzo mi emoziona...

[CollegeBoardSucks]

This is terrific, but not my favorite interpretation.

[AlanHemenway]

@CollegeBoardSucks I like the old Fritz Reiner/Chicago recording.

[Glinkaism1]

Excellent interview and performance. Thanks! Cheers!

@Glinkaism1 Also note at 06:30 at opening of the piece, this is the theme music for an old radio show called "The Big Story."

Strauss is one of the last geniuses...

[VonGneisenau]

@musicformind The last one is Shostakovich.

I like the conductor's face at 38:05
