ALICIA DE LARROCHA - A TRIBUTEby Terry McNeill Tuesday, September 29, 2009  To my memory Alicia de Larrocha played only once in Sonoma County, a cold Sunday afternoon in 1969 in the Santa Rosa High School auditorium. The local piano wasn’t adequate and a concert instrument was sent from San Francisco. The Sonoma State faculty pianist of the time, Steve Cosgove, was wild w...

ABSOLUTE MUSIC TO PLAY TROUT QUINTET ON MARCH 8by Alfred Batzdorff Friday, February 27, 2009  One of my earliest memories relating to classical music is of a house concert my parents hosted when we lived in Breslau, Germany. It could have been to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary in 1930, but I may be off by a year or two. In any case, it was surely before 1933. About 50 friends, fami...
