I've been sitting on this one for a few weeks, so I'm glad it's out now! Howard Shore's new work--21st Century Overture, dedicated to Switzerland's 21st Century Orchestra--will debut in Lucerne on November 7, 2009 with the composer in attendance. Click here for more information. The evening's program reads like a dream: Shore, Rózsa, Morricone, Williams... Maestro Ludwig Wicki and company sure know how to put on a concert! Of course, I'll be here handling book work, etc., so I hope we'll have a handful of reviews soon after the seventh.
