Ollie - I'll look for that one (don't know it at all). Thanks for your comments about the flower music. Feel quite  that I didn't spot that in my hurry to get a grasp of the whole cycle. Having spent the whole of my Winterreise lecture expanding the white/green metaphor, I'm now thinking about nature in Dichterliebe. Now spinning chez hh:  Music to mark essays by. |

Having spent the whole of my Winterreise lecture expanding the white/green metaphor On a not unrelated note, here's a little present for hh and anyone else who's still awake: some favourite tinners as bedtime listening. http://www.sendspace.com/file/kegab0Edited to say: Of course it's even more appropriate for martle, but I expect he's sound asleep by this hour. |

Spinning here:  http://www.zigzag-territoires.com/schutz.htmlReceives an emphatic whack with the Ollie Elephant Stamp of Approval®.  I wouldn't want you to think I think these guys can do no wrong (I'm afraid their Combattimento disc didn't do much for me) but when they're good they're very good indeed and for me music actually doesn't get a lot better than Schütz... |

Just put on that Walton/Hamlet and As you like it cd with ASMF & Marriner. Its certainly good to here Sir John Geilgud narrate that famous 'To Be or not to be' passage, in his own inimitable style. I still say he was one the best actors of shakespear ever.

Now spinning here is Lélio. And Nicolai Gedda just whipped out a most impressive top C#. And did it as though he could quite easily have gone up another third or so.
Good show what!

If you were in London, Pim, I'd recommend as highly as I could that you go to see Plague over England, an extremely impressive play about Gielgud by the Evening Standard's theatre critic, Nicholas de Jongh. Since you're not, I'll recommend it to anyone else who's within striking distance. It's at the tiny Finborough Theatre, off the Old Brompton Rd, for the rest of this month I think. |
