r,
A very wise choice, particularly as if Mr Dish cares to inspect a consignment sent in his direction a few weeks back, he might well discover that someone else had independently reached the same conclusion, and furnished him with a performance of this very work...
Gulp -- I forgot that was Tippett. I have heard a few notes by Tippett then, but misattributed them in my mind. Thank you! Embarrassing! Cringe-worthy! Yes, that's certainly an interesting piece of work. Hm. Must find a new brain, this one no longer working be. |

Who did you (mis)attribute them to, just out of interest?

Never mind, it's Embarrassing, Cringe-worthy, and a display of ignorance about music in the United Kingdom.

Oh, Cringe.
Well, his music was heavily influenced by Tippett, I think your mistake is forgivable.

I believe there's a school of thought which holds that Cringe actually wrote some of the music attributed to Tippett. |

You must be talking about Sailing to Byzantium, Richard.

Spinning chez t_i_n gestern abend: Tippett's The isle is full of noises ... (song for Caliban), his last composition, for which he came out of retirement, leading to the following memorable pre-concert exchange with Nicholas Kenyon:
NK: So, Sir Michael, why did you write this piece, having said that The Rose Lake was your last work?
MT (tremulously camp, aged 90+): Because you told me to, you naughty boy!
Hadn't heard it since the premiere, which I caught on television aged around 16. It still sounds much as I'd remembered it. Now re-heard, entirely unexpectedly, thanks to the generosity of a Member who appears to be able to read my mind, having also furnished me with almost everything I've recently missed and wished I hadn't on R3, plus a whole batch of other things which immediately shoot straight to the top of the listening list, although one of them (Szymanowski's Stabat mater) was already so near the top of said list that I'd leapt at the chance to acquire a copy for £1.50 in the Gramex sale on the very day the parcel arrived which turned out to include the same work!

Yes, in fact it was you mentioning it on Friday that reminded me to hot-foot it down there just in time for the last day on Saturday. There were more desirable/useful things left than I expected, actually, although I'm not really regretting anything I left behind, which given I managed to restrict myself to £63 is not bad. That £63 included £10 on the Gergiev Boris Godunov (I only had Abbado's version before, the one with the hilariously pseuds'-cornerish liner notes), another £10 on Semyon Kotko (I don't actually know any Prokofiev operas at all, and I'm rather looking forward to this), plus £2 or £3 each on various other things like filling in the gaps in my Abbado Brahms symphony cycle on DG, an old Virgin disc of Lutoslawski Preludes and Fugue and Chantefleurs et Chantefables, the Rattle Szymanowski disc I mentioned above (which also includes the Third Symphony, also spun last night), one of the Salomon Quartet's Haydn discs on Hyperion, two sets of Nielsen symphonies (Blomstedt and Salonen), etc. etc. |

I managed to restrict myself to £63 Yeah, well I managed to restrict myself to £37, which really shows I didn't have my imagination in gear, and, as I say, by accident I now have two recordings of the Schnittke 8th, which I don't think I like very much. |

I don't have any. I'm sure we could come to some arrangement ...

I'm in between you 2 as I've got one recording of Schnittke 8: Royal Stockholm PO/Gennady Rozhdestvensky on Chandos.
Spinning now is an album of previously unreleased Hendrix blues recordings which I've just borrowed from my brother. I know that putting out every single thing that he ever recorded might seem naff and exploitative but I could listen to him cleaning his teeth to be honest.

...flossing with a guitar string, for example, as was known to happen on stage...  (Although whether he did it to be honest or just for the fun of it I wouldn't like to guess.) |

That's one of the ones I have (and strangely enough the other one is on Chandos too, conducted by Polyansky). What do you think of it? Would you recommend the work to Member Now? If so, there may indeed be an arrangement in the offing. |

I just put one of my recently-acquired CDs into the computer to extract and compress its contents for mobile listening, and the ever-surprising online database identified its composer as
Cark Philippe Emmanuel Bach
Nice.
