“Two Days in the Life of a Soviet Worker” is the title of his new concert work which will be premiered next January at Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre. “As an Oscar-winning film composer, he’s just sort of pigeon-holed a little bit. So we looked at a few different things, and this waltz, ‘Two Days in the Life of a Soviet Worker ’ jumped out at me as a perfect fit for the Shostakovich concert. And these pieces come from some film music he wrote a while back, but they’ve never been performed in concert. So this is the world concert premiere of that.” This is wonderful news because I love his waltzes, the sardonic ones. Smaug, any idea which scores Stare was referring to? http://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/lifestyle/music/2016/02/09/yo-yo-ma-highlights-rpo-2016-17-season/80069278/ http://www.wardstare.com/schedule/2017/

I've been wondering about him, ever since he had brain damage from leaning back in a chair in his kitchen, then falling and hitting his head. He really hasn't done much since then, and I wonder if he's even capable of it?

I agree, but let us not be selfish and just be grateful that he is still active at all.

I am one half soviet worker, one half Goldenthal die-hard fan and one half Goldenthal completist-collector. This is exciting news, all for the common good. Although I long and yearn for the days he still did music for films. Such complex composing. Someone to take his place there isn't. Oh those beautiful vocals of his in Cobb.
