Right now, John White's Piano Sonata No. 7 (Jonathan Powell) from last year's 70th birthday celebrations.

The Tinsel Tonsils Agon, subject of discussion a short while ago, when the Craft on Naxos had seemed to me rather a gallop through the score. At the moment it's just over the Mac's loudspeakers, so final judgement on the sound quality will have to wait: however, as a performance, there's no doubt for me: it's far better paced than Craft's, and has much more lilt: another case in Stravinsky recordings where a slightly more relaxed tempo allows for greater incisiveness from the players and a greater clarity of rhythmic precision.

Rolf Hind's Messiaen - Regard no. 16 at the moment. One of the first Messiaen discs I bought. Still holds up well both as performances and a collection, I reckon. Although I did just order the Loriod set of Gawks on Adès at an inflated but not ballooning price from across the waters. Anyone out there know it? Will I regret it? This is on the way too:  Includes Gawks XV and X from what may be the old Pathé 78s. I think I may be in a Messiaen phase again. |

I was tempted by that one, ollie, but didn't like the postal charge. I feel sure it will turn up cheap here before too long, maybe in an HMV sale.

 Buxtehude: Geistliche Kantaten / Konrad Junghanel, Cantus Cölln I think I've posted this one here before, but ... it's good enough to merit a second go 'round. Brilliant, brilliant recording by my absolute favo urite early music ensemble. |

Aaron, do they go in for the one-per-part approach? I really ought to search some of their recordings out.
Yes, they're exclusively a ovpp ensemble. Their Bach motets recording would be a terrific place to start! |

Their B minor mass is also very fine; their Bach cantatas disc (entitled 'Actus tragicus' with BWVs 4, 106, 196 and 12) is even better, I think. Don't know why they haven't recorded more Bach seeing they've performed so much - I suppose sharing a label with Herreweghe doesn't help. And here's a picture of them.  And here's another.  |

There are however those among us who find their BWV 4 a little on the jaunty side.

My favourite BWV 4 is probably Parrott and co. That does also have aspects of jauntiness of course...
Oo, there goes my alarm reminding me that if I don't hot-foot it down the laundromat this minute some bastard is going to make off with my trousers again.

How many times can a pair of trousers be made off with?
Last night: Poul Ruders, Gong, Tundra, Symphony 'Himmelhoch jauchzend'. Noisy!

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

Perhaps Mr Sudden doth protest too much. |

The term "Actus Tragicus" here only refers to BWV 106, yes? Are there others with this designation?

I cant find the Buxtehude disc on MDT....is it still available?
(I've ordered the Bach Motets though, I'm a sucker for an excuse to have another version!)
