Why conducting is still an old man's game
Article Abstract:
Conductor Kurt Sanderling realizes that there are many things he cannot do now that he has reached the age of 85. In particular, he regrets never having conducted Mahler's Sixth Symphony and Bruckner's Ninth. He welcomes the fact that he grew up in Berlin, Germany, in the 1920s and early 1930s when many great conductors were working there, and believes that this was an era which has not been repeated since. He is marking his 85th birthday by conducting two full concerts with the Philharmonia.

Bruckner: guilty or not guilty?
Article Abstract:
It is now 100 years since the death of composer Anton Bruckner, but there is still controversy about how he was influenced by Wagner, Hitler's musical and ideological hero, and about how his music was used during the Nazi era. Recent research has stressed that Bruckner only admired Wagner from a musical point of view and that the main influences on him were classical. Hitler certainly greatly admired Bruckner, especially the Wagnerian elements of his music.
