Was under the impression it was a one-off project helmed by Jacob Holm-Lupo of White Willow and is the recent release.
Joefromchicago - this is enjoyable. Thankyou!
And this is Fabulous!
Always really liked what Ike brought to that Frank Zappa era he was as part of the ensemble. Really cherish this lp I bought long ago…
Painfully watched for 20 seconds. Dare taken.

I recently watched Ivan Fischer conduct his Budapest Festival orchestra in a performance of Beethoven's 5th symphony. I watch a lot of classical music but usually avoid the 5th symphony as it has been popularized and abused so much over time. But Fischer is one of the world's great conductors and I wanted to see what he did with the music. It was stunning, I had forgotten what a great piece of music it is when done right. I particularly like the 2nd movement, to me it seems more musical and less bombastic but Fischer brought a level of excellence to the entire piece that was exceptional.
Anything but the typical generic wand waving conductor, Fischer is deeply involved with the orchestra he developed decades ago and has developed it to one of the world's top ten. You can sense the affection the orchestra and conductor have for each other. He is highly animated and engaged, often smiling at something particularly well done as opposed to the usual stony faced arm wavers. Beethoven done right.
