Description
In an interview recorded on July 1, 1980 at the San Francisco Airport, Charles Amirkhanian talks with composer and conductor Victoria Bond. Bond, who was between conducting assignments at the time of this recording, had for the past two years been serving as the assistant conductor to Andre Previn at the Pittsburgh Symphony. Since 1974 she had also appeared as conductor at the Aspen Festival in Colorado, The White Mountains Festival in New Hampshire, the Colorado Philharmonic and the Pennsylvania Ballet. In this interview she discusses the emergence of a renewed interest in Symphonic music by contemporary composers. She then goes on to describe a few of her own works, including one based on certain Tarot cards and another Equinox, which is inspired by Herman Hesse’s book Narcissus and Goldman. Bond also shares her memories of working with Andre Previn.Genres
