Picky, picky, picky
Our Theresa appears to have an ear for the intricacies of different performances of the same work. I have two recordings of Leoš Janácek's Symfonietta (or Sinfonietta, as it is often rendered), one on vinyl performed by the Czech Philharmonic conducted by Rídí Karel Ancerl, and the second on CD by Bratislava's Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra with Ondrej Lenárd as conductor. I had been playing the former for Theresa in recent days. But then, unannounced, I switched to the latter. Almost immediately she protested that it was not the same thing. She wanted to hear "the other one." She seems to have a career ahead of her as a music critic.
