I'm not sure what's going on, but recently I've had the pleasure of spending some time with several different former professors from the University of Louisville School of Music. Today I had Richard and Cecile Spalding in my home for lunch and it was so good to see them again! Professor Spalding directed the U of L chorus when I was there in the late 60's, early 70's and I distinctly remember performing Poulenc's Gloria for Chorus and Two Pianos my senior year in college. Of course I was playing one of those two pianos! It was so much fun and such a beautiful piece of music!
While he was here, we also watched the video documentary that was created from my Ph.D. dissertation about "Wanda Landowska and the Revival of the Harpsichord: A Reassessment." The name of the documentary is "Uncommon Visionary" and won awards at the Boston Early Music Festival when it first came out. You can buy it on my website if you're interested! Enjoy!
