"The symphony is all about love love of nature, love of mankind and love of God in the final slow movement," said Ling, who will conduct the work in April 2002. "It's just something very special to me, and every time I do it I'm very moved by it." Today, the orchestra releases its 2001-02 masterworks schedule. In addition to being Ling's farewell season, in which he will conduct seven programs, it will also feature five guest conductors being considered to succeed him as music director.

Extractions: Since the first time the Liszt Competition was held it has had the privilege of welcoming over two hundred selected participants of extremely high calibre from all over the world. Some of the past prize winners have been: Martijn van den Hoek (1986), Enrico Pace, Wibi Soerjadi (1989), Sergey Pashkevich (1992), Igor Roma (1996), Yundi Li, Masaru Okada (1999) and Jean Dubé (2002). The Liszt Competition is a gruelling task for the participants, and so the organisation makes every effort to ensure that participating in the competition does not become more of a burden than it already is on the young pianists (ages 16 to 29). Everyone involved in the competition, and especially the host families with whom the participants stay, offers the participants a friendly and hospitable reception and helps create the atmosphere that gives the competition its difficult-but-human reputation.

An acquaintance once asked me "Who goes to listen to the symphony in the afternoon?" If the numbers last Wednesday, October 7th, proved anything, quite a few people like to spend a Fall afternoon in the august splendor of The Orpheum taking in an afternoon of classical music. From the very first words he spoke, host Otto Lowy , well known as the host of CBC's radio program The Transcontinental , wove a colorful narrative to bring his appreciative audience under the spell of the .music of Tchaikovsky, Glinka, Khachaturian and Glazunov. Romanticism favors full expression of the emotions and free spontaneous action rather than restraint and order. And as we imagined drinking Russian tea in a glass, sipping through a cube of sugar, we listened to the pas de deux from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. Melodic and gentle, it is also an example of how folk songs make their way into various composers music. A beautiful waltz from Eugene Onegin also highlighted song-like melodies of the waltz, building to an exuberant crescendo, the violins fired up to match the dueling pistols in the sad tale of Onegin.

Extractions: These are the live recordings of my performances in the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition for Outstanding Amateurs, held in Fort Worth, Texas (June 2000). This unusual event was a highlight of my year. It's for pianists who are over 35 and out of practice: no professionals allowed. Contestants play purely for the love of it. The pianists who come, about a hundred of them, are from dozens of countries and all walks of life: the chemist from Japan; the Brazilian ambassador; the blackjack dealer from Reno; the autoglass repairman, surgeon, lawyer, numismatist, masseur, assistant manager from Starbuck's, flight attendant... What a dazzling array of human interest. On stage, settling down at the gleaming Steinway concert grand, they glowed like 500-watt bulbs, and the audience was on the edge of their seats, hanging on every note. Music for the pure, unalloyed joy of it. Great stuff. I've always felt that part of the fun in being a true amateur comes from the mistakes, and the excitement in not knowing how well you might do. Professionalism (suggesting perfectionism) kills that spontaneity. Anyway, you might as well learn to love those pesky mistakes. Even Franz Liszt hit a few clams from time to time, but he didn't call them mistakes: he called them uninvited guests, and always tried to make them feel right at home.

Beneficiaries The idea of creating a Messiah recording for the benefit of designated charities was discussed informally after a church service at Rockway Mennonite Church, Kitchener, Ontario, in January 1994. A project team emerged that was able to secure the voluntary participation of internationally recognized Canadian soloists and conductor. An outstanding ensemble of choir and orchestra was assembled, and Consort Caritatis was born. Two beneficiaries were selected for the project: the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) and Habitat for Humanity. Eight months after the idea was first proposed, The Gift of Messiah CD became a reality in an intensive recording session at the Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto. Henriette Schellenberg (soprano), Catherine Robbin (mezzo-soprano), Paul Frey (tenor) and Daniel Lichti (bass-baritone) with choir and orchestra were conducted by Howard Dyck in the recording of excerpts of Handel's Messiah . The CD went on to receive critical acclaim internationally and achieve sales to date of 20,000, outstanding by any measure. The project has made possible donations of more than $125,000 to its beneficiaries.
