LA Philharmonic, "LA Variations" etc.

Hmmmm. I think it might be time for some additional Classical study time. I go through phases with music, as I like too many different odd things to just be truely eclectic all of the time (I would go mad). The one thing we've been pretty consistant with - as far as "modern" music goes, is with Phillip Glass. We've seen either him or his pieces performed many, many times thru the years. But, sadly, there are gaping holes on my "modern classical" knowledge.

I've seen Esa-Pekka Salonen conduct the LA Phil, but not often.

Please share more!

Saalonen was in Ojai a couple of years ago for their music festival. I don't know that much about classical music, but I did enjoy that performance. I was mostly interested in seeing him because he's Finnish.
