I've never had a WS Pinot that blew me away. I find many of them a bit candied and for the most part they never seem to deliver much.

Sunday afternoon I prepped dinner, made an appearance to thank volunteers at a benefit concert, but then headed to White Plains where Betsy was leading cello section in a small string orchestra. Theme was film composers and those that influenced them, sinfoniettas by Bernard Hermann and Franz Waxman, and then Verklarte Nacht by Schoenberg.

Since you speak often re concerts, I will ask if you know the answer to my question.

"Alessandro Marcello's small but distinguished musical output includes a concerto in D minor for oboe, strings and basso continuo, published about

1717 at Amsterdam in a concerto anthology and transcribed by J.S. Bach as concerto for solo harpsichord in D minor (as BWV 974), presumably from an earlier manuscript."

Question: """""""I wonder if the Adagio (on stage, not recording) in the Concerto in D minor is ever played by PIANO."""""

I see that Glenn Gould is playing here at 4:48 min.

although the sound quality is not that great, compared to another recording (piano) at 1:45 min.

Dale, I wonder if you could expand on your term "candied"? Do you mean over-sweet or perhaps tasting of caramel? No argument, just interest.

When I think of "candied" I think of the sugary shell on a candied apple but not in the sense of the sugar but in the sense of the interplay between the sugar and the tart fruit. I find this "candied apple" note in a lot of New World Pinot Noirs.

Afterwards I rushed home to do pork chops with a mustard/sage sauce, with potatoes, salad, and some grilled vegetables. In honor of Schoenberg, we went with an Austrian wine, the 2002 FX Pichler "Von den Terrassen" Gruner Veltliner Smaragd. __________________________________________________________

A flinty, dry white would be appropriate for later Schoenberg but Verklarte Nacht demands a fruit-forward, Parker bomb{;-) BTW has Betsy recorded it? Graham
