A conductor and a composer

Here are two new web resources about musicians:

WillemMengelberg.nl

Willem Mengelberg (1871 - 1951) was a Dutch conductor. For nearly 50 years, he conducted the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam. An extensive list of works he conducted are listed on the website, almost all with a recording you can listen to online, and lists of known recordings.

In this video (1931), the orchestra arrives in Paris and plays:
Oberon ouverture (von Weber)
L' Arlésienne - adagietto (Bizet)
Hungarian March (Berlioz)

NormanCazden.com

From the website: "Norman Cazden (1914-1980) was an American composer whose prime creative years were obscured by McCarthy-era political pressures. A graduate of Julliard Conservatory and Harvard University (PhD); a student of Aaron Copland, Walter Piston, and Charles Seeger; a colleague of Mark Blitzstein, Earl Robinson, Sandy Ives, and Herbert Haufrecht, he was shy by nature and uncompromising in principle."

His compositions are largely unpublished or out of print but libraries that hold materials by him are listed on the website. Listening samples are available as well. Photo from normancazden.com
