Happy to see you. Are you going to lead the resistance? Do you have someone else in mind? The majority of Americans who despise President Musk and DJT are longing for leadership.

Semkov was a champion of his countryman’s music. We did a concert performance of “King Roger” here in St. Louis around 1980. I loved the maestro’s intensity in rehearsal and performance.

I grew up listening to Cleveland under Szell (and Mom sang in the Shaw-led chorus),so that set is my sentimental choice, but I love some of the brisker modern recordings as well.
