even in this "official" recording (ie. the Nonesuch one) the ensemble gets decidedly shaky now and then I don't imagine it's the sort of piece many people would feel the need to invest in two recordings of (I doubt I've listened to it more than once since setting aside the paper on Ligeti's Horn Trio in which Tehillim made a cameo appearance), but if you ever were to spin it again you might like to check out these guys for industrial-class precision ensemble (click on the picture):  |

I have made a mental note not to spin CDs of music I'm not too keen on in the presence of someone much younger than me whose opinion might be different. Tehillim has now been on three times today. where oh where did I go wrong? |

A message board entry from one Siān Lenz on this day in 2049 has strangely enough just fallen through a wormhole in the internet: I have made a mental note not to spin CDs of music I'm not too keen on in the presence of someone much older than me whose opinion might be different. Putifar-Giuseppe-Giacobbe has now been on three times today.

Old Sudden seems to be enjoying it too, though of course it's hard to tell, poor chap.

Don't worry Richard, somewhere in New York State 5-year-old Daniel Reich-Wittgenstein is breaking windows to an oddly familiar-sounding trombone + percussion soundtrack, and a retired cab driver is holding his baseball-capped head in his hands saying 'Oy vey, where did I go wrong?'

Oh dear, Ron's out on a limb again, as usual... Three commercial recordings of Tehilim, and at least that number again off air (though none of them has recaptured for me the original verve and excitement of the broadcast of the UK premiere, captured on a much-played cassette, possibly due to its balance - the high soprano definitely dominating, which makes much more sense, especially in the last movement). I find those Reich scrunchy chords a real aural turn-on, but they're incredibly difficult for singers to voice consistently. No doubt I'll keep searching until I find one which does the biz. |

Let us indeed hope so. Ron, which is your favourite of the commercial recordings? I only have the big Reich box, but I used to have the ECM recording on LP which I remember as being more idiomatic. |

r,
Since I rather think that none of the three - the original ECM, the de Leeuw or the Pierson as mentioned above by tinners - has graced a player-tray since the move (a fortnight off two weeks ago), I'll have a replay of all of them over the next few days, and report back. If memory serves me right, the Pierson was the one: the ECM, though with the same line-up as the broadcast which made such an impression, seems rather tame and slow by comparison: but that may well be due to the effects of the ECM 'house sound' - the aural equivalent of several coats of varnish.

Er... Oscar Peterson.
The er... is because jazz snobs tend to turn their nose up when I say I like it. As do classical snobs. If anyone knows any snobs who won't turn their nose up at me for liking the cut of Oscar Peterson's jib I would be glad of this information.

Ah yes. The Polyansky set originally recorded and released by Chandos, but they didn't see fit to finish it, so Brilliant have used No.7 from the BIS/Otaka cycle. I'm slightly surprised that BIS did this, given that the cycles were in competition. I did contact Chandos a few years ago to find out when No.7 night be issued, but was told they had no plans to complete the cycle, which struck me as an odd decision. Such is life... |
