Last spinning - Poulenc's Piano Concerto. I've "inherited" a student who is learning the damn' piece. So I thought I should get to know it after not hearing it for MANY years. Some quite pleasant bars, but as a whole it is no better than I remembered...  Back to Tristan tonight, I think - had Kleiber's acts 1 and 2 on Friday and Saturday, looking forward to Act 3!  |

Early morning spinning: Wieland Hoban's Jormungandr. Lots of nice sounds in the strings, not enough vowels in the title.
How many do you want, Chfrs? Ooh, just noticed something. WH just needs to change one vowel in his name and he'd have one of everything: Wielund Hoban or Wieland Hobun. Not sure which I prefer ... Confused by Biroc's definition of mid-morning. It still feels pretty early to me, and he seems to be one of the few people in the world whose bedtime is even later than mine. |

Mid-morning spinning: Polytope de Cluny by Iannis Xenakis
That's the spirit, Biroc. But where do you go from there once you're really awake? |

I once had the really unpleasant experience of having the Polytope played to me as I woke up. I had a really bad hangover and had just spent the night sleeping on the floor. Did I mention that my head was between the two speakers?
When I was really awake, I think we moved on to Arvo Pärt.

He'll be glad to know that he nearly has something in common with Enrico Caruso, his great idol. |

Anthony Braxton - Composition 359 for sextet, with thanks to King Kennytone.
This is really the genuine article.

Now playing a Handel Oratorio:@Joshua'. Apparently, my wife said I have never played it when she is in. Oh well, now I have and she is happy!!

Beethoven's "Archduke", (Cortot, Thibaud, Casals) recorded in Small Queen's Hall 1926. It's disc 97  of the Brilliant Classics Complete Works+ set. Now is that serendipity or someone having a bit of a laugh? |

I always found Hoban rather overrated myself. Mathias Spahlinger - und als wir LOADS of strings. |

Hmm, just been trying out Beethoven's Op. 134 as played by Frank Zabel and Stefan Thomas (a new recording for this here Brilliant Classics Complete Beethoven). A surprisingly lightweight interpretation, I thought. Nothing like as penetrating as the old Demus and Shelter recording. Still, you can't win 'em all.
