I'd only got as far as one of three but I think I may be there now.  How very Ancient Mariner.  You didn't read dc's welcome thread then George? |

I'd only got as far as one of three but I think I may be there now. Not if you'd taken any hints from me, George.  I was off the mark, as it turns out. Really should pay more attention to these Welcome threads, although I did think I'd read dc's ... |

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

It's not out for a few months yet, is it, Biroc?! Don't even think it's been edited ... |

Oh yes, ahem, cough. I suppose there is that method.  That's cheating though. I prefer the excitement of the hunt, the solving of cryptic clues, observing the direction of a crushed blade of grass, the carelessly abandoned cigarillo stub found outside the gazebo... [Right. Now need to do a Case Review on the 'Biroc' file. Let's see. We've got a team staking out all performances of Le Marteau Sans Maitre in the run up to Christmas. Hmm. That may not narrow it down much. Boulez at the height of the pantomime season? There will be hundreds of performances up and down the country. We might as well be looking for a needle in a haystack.] |

Well, I know who he is but have somehow missed the fact he's about to conduct Marteau. Perhaps he'd be so kind as to steer my geography in the right direction (by PM, so as not to deprive George of the thrill of the chase ...). |

I think we've rather lost the point of this thread, currently listening to music from Pakistan,the CD on the Zweitausendeins/World Network Label. currently singing: Nazakat & Salamat Ali Khan, recorded live at the WDR-Funkhaus, June 14, 1970, shortly before I was born in fact  Zweitausendeins can come in really handy actually, it's perhaps comparable to Fopp, they sell some interesting books/cds on the cheap, but once it's gone, it's gone, like for instance the Urtext of Finnegans Wake , Zettels Traum (Arno Schmidt - massive book, just untranslatable), etc. They sell a lot of cheap junk as well. imo, this is an amazing recording, should be available, but don't really know how you'd get hold of it (amazong praps...) since it says here "exclusive distribution for germany only" ... got this CD , Oli?? |

Perhaps he'd be so kind as to steer my geography in the right direction (by PM, so as not to deprive George of the thrill of the chase ...). well, I know both who he is and that he is about to conduct the Marteau (am I the only one who uses the word "the" in that context? is it as unbearably pretentious as I suddenly fear?), so there, but I too would love to hear details! |

Now spinning for the first time: Nigel Osborne, I am Goya and the Flute Concerto. Rather better than I was expecting, and more personal, although the general Anglo-Polish accent of the relatively anonymous first half of I am Goya is exactly what I was expecting ...

that he is about to conduct the Marteau (am I the only one who uses the word "the" in that context? is it as unbearably pretentious as I suddenly fear?) I would have used 'Le' personally but horses for courses... If you'd written "the Hammer" that might have been pretentious. Or it might not.
Beethoven 2, Berlin Phil, Abbado. dc, I did think I'd seen the Finnegans Wehg recently at a couple of 2001s if that's the one you mean. Don't have the disc you mention but I might allow my steps to stray from their usual path next time I go 2001ing. |

OK, well, he, she, or it wins. Not spinning now, but recently, a birthday gift: Barry's Intelligence Park. Stunning, stunning, stunning, marvelous. I'm blown away. Such counterpoint! My intrigued-ness regarding Barry's work has hereforwith been bumped up to extreme interest. ... even if bits of it do remind me quite strongly of the ark-building passge from Stravinsky's Flood... |

Should really have posted this last night - I got a 5 CD box set (EMI Classics 0946 3 67906 2 6) a few weeks ago of Aldo Ciccolini playing Liszt and last night I decided to put the disc with the 2 ballades, the Consolations and the Two Legends on. Superb playing all round. I highly recommend it to ay Lisztians hanging about on these boards!  |
