1993: The fourth of the cycle to be issued. “Hamlet” is actually my favorite of the tone poems. These covers celebrate my 80th birthday on Sept. 1, tracing the history of the Slatkin family through their recordings.

1993: I was part of this album, along with principal trumpet Susan Slaughter, with an arrangement of “O, Holy Night.” Never dreamed I would be on a disc with Stan Musial. These covers celebrate my 80th birthday, tracing the history of the Slatkin family through their recordings.

I am proud to send you this link to the short documentary that aired on @espn today. The story is inspiring, and the music is by my son, @DanielSlatkin--understated and perfect for the subject matter.”

1993: I got to know VW’s 8th Symphony through the Barbirolli recording. The oft-maligned 9th turned out to be a discovery and should be programmed more often. These covers celebrate my 80th birthday on Sept. 1, tracing the history of the Slatkin family through their recordings.

1993: “Sinfonia Antartica” was a piece I had not conducted before. My producer suggested “Dives & Lazarus” as filler, & I have since performed it frequently as an opener. These covers celebrate my 80th birthday, tracing the history of the Slatkin family through their recordings.

Reviewers praised the opening performance of Slatkin’s program with the @NatSymphonyDC featuring Cindy McTee’s Double Play, Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20 with soloist @EmanuelAx , and Walton’s Symphony No. 1.
