Review of "Schumann: Symphonies No. 3 'Rhenish' & No. 4." Lawrence Foster, Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. Pentatone PTC-5186 327 (SACD)
A few months before listening to this disc, I reviewed Maestro Lawrence Foster’s recording of the Schumann First and Second Symphonies, which he made for Pentatone around the same time he recorded these Third and Fourth Symphonies. I thought of the performances on that first set as sturdy but not particularly noteworthy. Meaning that given today’s competitive recording market, Foster’s album wouldn’t probably be at the top of most people’s list of first choices. I think it’s fair to say the same of the present disc.

"Alright, so the two boys you're gonna adopt are...from Gatlin, so they will probably not get used to the big city easily" the woman explained calmly, as Fips rolled his eyes. Does this woman think he didn't hear it? Lawrence just smiled kindly, trying not to make the woman feel uncomfortable. As the bus arrived, the woman mentioned how she was gonna "get" the boys.
"wow...we're actually adopting two children" Lawrence muttered, still slightly in disbelief that this was truly happening. He had such bad baby fever from all the fanfiction Fips wrote, and now they were finally getting kids on their own. Fips laughed at Lawrence's excitement, and jokingly said: "No shit, Sherlock"
"Fuck you, Watson" Lawrence playfully fired back, but the two quickly got their attention directed to their future sons. The woman smiled, and pointed at the younger one, introducing him as Eli, before pointing at the older one, and saying his name was Joshua.
"aw.." Lawrence cooed, finding them both absolutely adorable. Fips immediately walked up to them and greeted them, but before he could actually talk, Lawrence walked forward and squished Eli's cheeks, making him squirm.
"schnucki..." Fips laughed, finding His best friend's immediate liking to their new son's hilarious. Joshua smiled awkwardly as Fips then kissed him on the forehead, while Lawrence was squishing and squeezing Eli, before he got pulled back slightly.
"Don't overwhelm him" Fips mumbled, as Eli blushed in embarrassment, but smiled a little. Joshua chuckled, he was sure his new Fathers were gonna take great care of them...
"anyway! I'm Fips!" Fips then enthusiastically said, as Lawrence quickly introduced himself too: "And I'm Lawrence! And as you know, we're gonna be your new dads!"
"so...can we call you both papa?" Eli asked, wanting to make sure. Joshua himself wanted to make sure the two were fine with being called Papa, Father, dad, etc... since their old Father wasn't...the most positive man.
"yes, of course!" Fips said, making Lawrence nod excitedly. Fips then grabbed Joshua and Eli, taking them to the car so they could go home. Lawrence agreed to drive, while Fips sat in the passenger's seat, with Eli and Joshua in the backseat.
"They seem nice..." Joshua whispered to Eli, quiet enough so Fips and Lawrence couldn't hear. Eli nodded, completely agreeing with his older brother's statement.
