Thanks very much for the follow-through!

March 19, 1925

� Berlioz: King Lear Overture
� Purcell: Dido's Lament;
� Ravel: Kaddish;
� Falla: Cancion del Amor Dolido (Jeanne Jouve, vocalist)
� Holst: The Planets: Mars; Saturn; Uranus
� Beethoven: Symphony no. 8

I gasp in amazement. �Or as today's younger folks would say, O M G!

February 27, 1940

� Mozart: Symphony no. 39
� Brahms: Haydn Variations
� Beethoven: Symphony no. 7

IIRC, his final recording sessions were just two days later, Beethoven "Ruins
of Athens" Overture and Brahms "Academic Festival" Overture, with the LSO.

I'm sure you're correct.

Yes, that 3/19/25 program! O M G indeed. Or as one of the most
