On Friday, April 16, 2010, Classical Archives Artistic Director Nolan Gasser spoke with acclaimed and Grammy Award-winning conductor JoAnn Falletta – the principal conductor of two eminent American orchestras, the Buffalo Philharmonic and the Virginia Symphony. This month, Ms. Falletta releases two new CDs on the Naxos label, featuring the music of Ernst von Dohnányi and John Corigliano – both of which receive an Exclusive Digital Pre-release here on Classical Archives! In this inspiring and wide-ranging interview, Ms. Falletta discusses the music associated with these two new releases, as well as future discs (including a fascinating premiere recording of music by Marcel Tyberg), the challenges and rewards of conducting two distinct orchestras, the obligations of musicians to the life of their communities, and much more. Don’t miss this delightful and provocative discussion!
