WFMU: Continental Subway with David Dichelle: Playlist from June 27, 2017

Listener comments!
	4:01pm Stanley: In the summertime, when the weather is, hold on I'm in a SUBWAY
	4:02pm Cheyenne: Woof, subways in summer are swelterin, but this show is pretty cool!
	4:02pm doctorjazz: Hi David, back again so soon? (nice to hear you 2 days in a row).
	4:03pm Sem Chumbo: You gotta get out more, Stanley. Hello, David, and subway aficionados.
	4:05pm David D: Cooling systems on! Welcome, Stanley, Cheyenne, Doctorjazz, Sem...
	4:07pm JakeGould: Summertime subways are better heard than seen or smelled.
	4:09pm David D: No smell-o-radio here yet, Jake!
	4:10pm Stanislav: @Jake - though I still love that rush of warm air and rumble that precceds the tube entering the station (tube=subway train in London)
	4:10pm David D: Thanks, Doc, I just keep showing up...
	4:11pm geezerette: it's too darn HOT. Also,what Danny said!
	4:12pm geezerette: ...on the play list.
	4:14pm David D: Opening another window, Geezerette!
	4:14pm Dean: On Sunday my kids dug up a DVD of the Scooby Doo episode featuring Mama Cass. Was hoping there'd be a musical break, but nothing featuring her.
	4:18pm JakeGould: You’re in Germany? Cool.
	4:18pm Sem Chumbo: 紅日我愛你 = Red day i love you. via Google Translate
	4:21pm David D: Yes, Sem, there was a story behind that somewhere.
	4:21pm David D: Jake: Yes I am, AMA!
	4:22pm geezerette: lovely!
	4:23pm JakeGould: Is your day going well?
	4:25pm David D: Any day I get to do this twice in 24 hours is a great one, Jake! And you?
	🚂 4:31pm Brian in UK: Hello David. NEW lakes, do the appear overnight?
	4:31pm JakeGould: Okay!
	🚂 4:33pm Brian in UK: Good diet but remember to stay hydrated.
	4:35pm David D: Great question, Brian - they are actually renaturalized surface mining sites. It used to be a big coal area and entire villages were razed to make way for it, some of which are now fantastic lakes with beaches.
	🚂 4:39pm Brian in UK: I was guessing mining but the number of trees confused me. Open cast I presume. Bit like in North Wales after the slate was removed. Trouble was that you had to shift thirty tons to get one ton. Very wasteful. But without, no roofs. Very popular with divers.
	🚂 4:40pm Brian in UK: Latvia. Home of the Hits.
	4:42pm Dean: I want to live on Cyprus, period. I've never been there, but if I ever go, it'll be with a one-way ticket.
	🚂 4:43pm Brian in UK: Cyprus is my island. You know who sang that.
	4:46pm Dean: I knew who sang that back in the day, but never connected my attraction to the place (via Christopher Hitchens, imagine that) with him. Will have to listen again. I also need to reread Lawrence Durrell's Bitter Lemons.
	🚂 4:54pm Brian in UK: Dean it is still split in two. Turkish north, Greek south. Imagine, Christopher Hitchens being a Phil Ochs fan.
	4:55pm David D: Yes, I suppose those trees weren't there 20 years ago, quite an achievement in fact. The area has changed a lot and is still in development, like the brand new bike path I took that photo from.
	4:56pm Stanislav: Unmistakable Holger Czukay
	🚂 4:58pm Brian in UK: Stanislav, can you come over tomorrow to fix my plumbing? It's on the way to the peak of normal.
	5:01pm Dean: Split it is, Brian in UK, with half (or more like 2/3 Greek?) in the EU as of 2004, I believe.
	5:03pm David D: Yes, Cypriot coins turn up in our change here from time to time.
	🚂 5:06pm Brian in UK: I believe it was Greek until the Turks invited themselves to the resort.
	5:07pm Dean: David D @4:55: Is the path brand new, or is it only for brand new bikes?
	5:09pm Dean: I believe it was Kissinger who extended the invitation.
	5:09pm David D: Dean, don't worry, it connects with the pennyfarthing paths in several places.
	5:15pm Stanislav: Sorry Brian. Got a job in Cyprus. I'm not hanging around here any more.
	5:17pm Sem Chumbo: Been enjoying this evening's music, David. Lovely things. Thank you.
	5:19pm David D: Thanks, Sem! Great to hear from you...
	5:21pm David D: @Stanislav et al.: Isn't there a British enclave on Cyprus as well? Or is that just military?
	5:27pm geezerette: What Sem said. :) (Howdy Sem)
	5:28pm Sem Chumbo: Hey, geezerette, good to see you.
	5:31pm doctorjazz: Sounds very 1970, bit of Fairport to the sound (the Drammen Export)
	5:31pm David D: Thanks, geezerette!
	5:32pm David D: @Doc: Yes, very much of their day - I love that stuff...
	5:32pm Ike: DIG IT!
	5:38pm JakeGould: I’m actually stuck in the subway now. Whitehall Street. Derailment of an A train at 125th Street apparently means suffering for all.
	5:38pm JakeGould: R train nowhere near A train!!!!
	5:41pm David D: Oh no, Jake, I hope you get out of there soon.
	5:41pm David D: Greetings, Ike!
	5:49pm Sem Chumbo: I look forward to your next show,. See you then, g'night.
	5:52pm David D: Thanks for listening, Sem, have a good night!
	6:02pm geezerette: David, been hearing Kodaly fairly often on FMU lately and enjoying tremendously.
	6:04pm geezerette: The sound quality of this recording is very like an evening at the Hollywood Bowl. :)
	6:05pm still b/p: This puts me in mind...in ear and eye, sort of?...of soundtrack music for a 50's - 60s ancient/biblical history epic.
	6:06pm David D: I didn't realize I was part of a trend! I've been on a Kodály kick lately, myself. Glad the recording is coming through well...
	6:06pm David D: @still b/p: Definitely those strains of mystery and majesty.
	6:07pm Dean: Curiously, Jim Svejda panned this very recording in Fanfare a couple years ago, and there doesn't appear to be much competition. I would love to hear Orpheus Chamber Orchestra's take on it, which received improved remarks in the magazine.
	6:09pm David D: Interesting, I'll have to see what his critique was about.
	6:09pm Dean: I love Fanfare, every issue an education. But in the latest issue two reviews of a recent recording of Mussourgsky's Pictures (orch. Ravel) are completely at odds. One reviewer calls it a badly recorded waste of time and money. The other beams, not least about the sound!
	6:12pm Dean: Svejda complains about the orchestra's performances and the recorded sound. He enters one line specifically about Summer Evening: "Most disappointing is Summer Evening, that miraculously atmospheric tone poem which here lacks any semblance of atmosphere, charm, or finesse." To each his own. As a former LA commuter I got to know Svejda's programming very well, and I believe he is a regional treasure. But our tastes diverged wildly in many cases. He despises Telemann, for instance, while I adore him. And he loved to make fun of (then still alive) Nickolaus Harnoncourt's conducting. If for no other reason, NH deserves props for giving us Monteverdi's operas early on.
	6:15pm geezerette: Well, as with everything, subjectivity is a factor. I'm finding this cool and calming at the moment, and lyrical. I do really like the sound quality.
	6:18pm Dean: Kodaly revised Summer Evening in 1930 at the prompting of Toscanini.
	6:19pm geezerette: Interesting!
	6:23pm Stanley: That's me awa' tae mah pit. Braw shaw David 'n' ah wish ye guid nicht
	6:25pm David D: Have a good night, Stanisl - I mean Stanley!
	6:26pm David D: Was it Toscanini? I wasn't sure about whether the revision was a major one.
	6:27pm Dean: From a 1984 review of an assortment of Kodaly's works: "The other orchestral work, Summer Evening, was Kodály's first non-student orchestral composition. Originally written in 1906, it was extensively revised 23 years later at the behest of Arturo Toscanini, who was sufficiently impressed by it to suggest that Kodály try his hand at a symphony."
	6:30pm David D: Thanks, it would be interesting to hear the older version as well. Must be available somewhere...
	6:38pm Dean: What's interesting is the differences in performance times of (presumably) the revised version by, e.g., Dorati (16 mins., 45 secs.) versus Kodály (around 1960, 21:05). Another reviewer points to this as his favorite recording of Summer Evening: https://www.discogs.com/Zolt%C3%A1n-Kod%C3%A1ly-Hungarian-Radio-Symphony-Orchestra-Conducted-By-%C3%81d%C3%A1m-Fischer-H%C3%A1ry-J%C3%A1nos-Suite-Su/release/3210199 (19:38). Can't find references to a recording of the 1906 version.
	6:39pm David D: Thanks, Dean - looks very much like post-show reading...
	6:39pm Dean: See the notes at that Discogs link above for more about the Toscanini connection.
	6:42pm Dean: Turns out it was likely not "extensively revised." Fascinating stuff.
	6:55pm Doug Schulkind: The A Train derailed in NYC today. 34 injured: www.nytimes.com...
	6:56pm geezerette: Thanks David. Always a pleasure to listen to your show. Doug, !!!
	7:00pm Jesse Kaminsky: no paving, we're going offroad!
	7:01pm David D: Oh dear, I guess that's what Jake was talking about before. Hope everyone is okay.
	7:02pm David D: Thanks geezerette and everyone - take it off the pavement, Jesse...
