I've found a clip of that encore you mention here. Thank you so much for that, Daniel! The last thing I imagined I would be doing before bed tonight is watching William Christie walk like an Egyptian!!!  |

Oh my goodness. Get this disc. I am speechless.  Highlights are so many, but a definite standout is the harmonically flipped out Passacalio of Biagio Marini. |

The Marini is also recorded quite excellently here (by Romanesca), along with other quite excellent Marinisms:  ... good music for a snow day, especially for those who don't have to teach again until Wednesday  |

That's a very good disc, indeed, CD, as is another of Savall's 'explorations on a theme':  |

Ravel conducted by Pedro de Freitas Branco! Orchestre des Champs-Elysées 1953. Alborada, La Valse, Pavane, Valses nobles et sentimentales, Boléro. Oh how I do love the tang of the real honest-to-goodness French orchestral sound. Especially the bassoons. Anyone here have a French basson they're not using? It will be well looked after...  |

I like this Tommo I like those pieces too, Tommo, but don't know that particular recording. Now spinning here (a little unseasonally):  |

Szymanowski's string quartets, by the Carmina Quartet on Denon -- the second time in as many days I was scanning my shelves and said to myself "I didn't realize I had that!" Either my collection is getting too big or I am getting senile, or both.
Szy's first quartet is really, really astonishing. Anyone who can hear the first minute of that piece and not stop whatever they're doing has no soul, I am fairly confident in saying. This music is less overtly "decorative" than some of is orchestral pieces, although I'm very interested these days in the idea of decoration, and the performances are wonderful.
The disc is filled out (if you can say "filled out" about a recording that still lasts under 45 minutes) by
the Webern Langsamer Satz, which you can have as far as I'm concerned; I tend just to play the first quartet again.
oddly, I couldn't find any cover images that aren't tiny...

I love that Webern piece, actually, although it's far from obvious why it appears there; there's a recording (can't remember details now) of Janácek and Szymanowski quartets which seems like a far more intelligent conjunction to me. Best, Alistair |
