Not at all. I've just felt my Grew and its proportions are quite normal.

Grew? Oh, I thought that was Yoda-speak. Sorry. No offense, Grew.

I had it as cod-Germansyntax understood gehabt. It was to the gentle flow of Member Grew's comma-eliding sentence construction fully foreign. With the eventual exception of Member Tinner's you do not do you mean to say.

Beethoven - 26 Welsh Songs, WoO 155 (one of the new recordings produced by Nicol Matt for the Brilliant Classics Beethoven set). They are sung in English.

Well. although its not spinniong, its being aired. The Rose Lake, by sir Michael Tippett. They are broadcasting the very first performance of the piece. I remember that one really well. It really took me a while to get over what I thought is a really moving piece.

 Partially because in a class for next week I want an example of polymeter taken to ridiculous but audible extremes. And I don't care -- well, I only care up a point -- that this isn't the piano sound Nancarrow envisioned; to me it suits the musical material perfectly, with its saturated primary colors. On a related note: how the (#$%* can I not have a recording of Puer natus est nobis? Everyone and their second cousin gets that piece in the first week of their music history survey class, and I can't find a bloody recording among these masses of CDs. Oh well, another example of the expressiveness of disjunct motion in chant I shall have to find. |

Evan, if you don't already know it, you might find this to be of interest to you. As to the Wergo set of most of the studies, for quite some time it has been all there was, and as such has served the very fine purpose of exposing many to Nancarrow's muse. It was bad luck that the appropriate instrument was out of action at the time of the recordings, but better that they went ahead with what was available, rather than throwing the towel in. Now that the MDG project is gradually making all of his studies available in recordings of rather greater clarity and more suitable timbre, I have no intention of passing my Wergo CDs on to a charity shop. That's not just because of Tenney's detailed notes, either. I do hope that the original Arch recordings get remastered and re-issued some day. |

What's this? I'm listening to MOZART?
Well, yes.
These six variations in G minor (KV360-374b) for violin+piano. I'm not entirely comfortably with my like of them, because it might be related to the theme's similarity to the Dogville/Manderlay soundtracks.... Will have to think it out a bit more. Maybe spin it again. (Have listened to them several times already).

"Stravinsky in America" (LSO/MTT)
As has been said before, the Agon on this disc is a must. So are the Huxley Variations. While I still haven't brought myself to listen to the Star-Spangled Banner or for that matter the Circus Polka, which I can generally do without, the Ode also struck me as particularly beautiful, and I found the Scčnes de ballet and the Scherzo ŕ la Russe more diverting than I usually do.
It would be very nice to have good recorded performances of the late vocal music, the Cantata, Threni, Canticum sacrum and so on. Do such things exist? I used to have a recording of Fischer-Dieskau doing Abraham and Isaac and making very heavy weather of it indeed, I mean it's a pretty stern kind of piece but maybe it doesn't have to be quite so ungrateful.

This  followed by this  then this  a 12" EP, the second track of which might very loosely be considered the uncaged spawn of Kontakte. |

Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, Sinfonia in F Major to the Whitsun Cantata "Ertönet, ihr seligen Völker" Tell me this is NOT the strangest piece of music in this man's output. Never have I witnessed imitative counterpoint clashing so horrendously with phrase structure!  Kammerorchester Carl Philipp Emmanuel Bach, Hartmut Haenchen, dir. |
