Tonight ... St. Matthew Passion ... this time Gardiner/ORR/etc.  I still prefer the first Herreweghe recording, but ... this one has its charms.

I have to admit that I know them from my youth.

He tells me that they are called "The Village People" and are famous for only 2 songs - 'In the Navy' and 'YMCA'.

Apparently, R-K did some strange arm movements in the second of these.  I think it is called 'conducting'

ME A AN and ITI KE MI by Pierluigi Billone, on stradivarius.

earlier: Robert Fayrfax masses on ASV.  stunning.

as a composer, I find that there are two types of really good music in the world: the type that makes me want to sit down and write, and the type - slightly better - that makes me want to give it up entirely, because I can never hope to compete.  The first recording above is the former type, the second the latter.

Have you sought out other Billone discs, Evan?  I'm quite fond of the one on durian, and actually I like Mani.Giacometti (on oneathem Donaueschingen compilations) even more than the two works on the stradivarius disc (which are both superb).


I'm on to a new Klaus Lang disc that arrived in the mail today.  As there are absolutely no liner notes, I have absolutely no clue what's going on, other than that the piece (or collection of pieces?) is scored for organ & double bass/electric bass.  And, um, Lang's website doesn't exactly clarify:

Evan,

Please don't think of having to compete with composition.  You'll get yourself totally focused on the oppo.

For me, good music making comes from within.  I'm sure if you focus on little aspects of music that interest you, something great will come to the fore.

Hi there xyzzzz. The Henry Eichheim turned up on a CD entitled "Stokowski conducts Philadelphia rarities" (recordings from 1929-40) put out by the Leopold Stokowski Society in 1993. Eichheim travelled round the East studying the music, collecting instruments and composing works inspired by oriental motifs. Stokowski accompanied him in 1927 and/or 8 to India, Burma, Java and Bali. The orchestral pieces Java (1929) and Bali (1931 or 2) unusually feature gamelan instruments within the percussion section - mainly for purposes of resonance and clatter it would seem from this recording of Bali. The work, a set of variations on Balinese themes, lasts c.12 minutes and is stylistically a mixture - worthy American symphonic stuff of the time with a liberal flavouring of Debussy and Ravel mixed in with an unsubtle Balinese element. It doesn't sound anything like Colin McPhee (Tabuh-tabuhan etc).

There's more you can find out by googling and I've started a thread on pre-WW2 gamelan influence on the 20th century appreciation board if you're interested.

Thanks - did google after I made my last post here, looking for some impressions from the 'strange discovery' part of yr post and you've said.

I actually played Lou Harrison's 'Concerto in Slendro' and some works from Gamelan Son of Lion ensemble - really only know bits about it from use by post-war composers so I'll have a look at that board. Good thing I asked as I might have never found it - not sure as to why this isn't in new music, but anyway.

Couple of other things on the playlist last night:

Roman Haubenstock-Ramati's "Credentials" and "Pour Piano".

Kyle Gann's "Nude Rolling down an Escalator" for Disklavier.

From Haubenstock-Ramati to Gann? What a night.

I love "Credentials."  Partially because it is one of very, very few pieces in my
collection that my wife simply cannot stand.  (Others include Radulescu's
"Inner Time II" for 7 clarinets, some Hespos, and, unaccountably and
unacceptably, Barraque's piano sonata - though she quite likes Boulez's
and Stockhausen's piano music.  Go figure.)

NP: Messiaen Piano Music vol. 3 on Naxos, primarily because of an absolutely
asinine dustup on Sequenza21.com about "Mode de valeurs et d'intensites."

Aaron, you're not missing anything.

Technically the group was called the English Baroque Soloists wasn't it? (Or has he done a period-instruments recording of the Mendelssohn version while I wasn't looking?...) Certainly there's plenty of Révolutionnaire et Romantique about the performance - not that there's anything wrong with that.

Yeah, I've pretty much completely given up on sequenza21.  It's just so completely bleak ... tired of fighting the same battles over and over again.  Promise to let me know if there's ever an interesting conversation over there again and I'll pop in, but ... for now, I'm sticking to these r3 boards.


For me, it's Corelli Violin Sonatas (Manze/Eggar) to start the day ....
