Title: The James Conlon Show
Review: The title of this DVD says it all. It compiles a number of television shows purporting to feature participants in the Twelfth Van Cliburn Piano Competition.There's apparently a lot of beautiful music making here, but unfortunately we're not allowed to hear much of it. Each performances is interrupted after only a few minutes, and at length, by conductor James Conlon and competition adjudicator Menahem Pressler, speaking and thinking great thoughts about philosophy, history and music. If two hours of this sort of thing is your cup of tea then go for it!
