April 16 - Dennis Russell Davies (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Cycle)

 Dennis Russell Davies (b. 16 April 1944) is an American conductor and pianist.

Onward with Davies

 

The concert public, which is wary

Of anything contemporary,

Can be persuaded by his charm

To lend an ear with less alarm,

And though it’s Bolcom, Glass, or Jarrett

They try, at least, to grin and bear it.
