John Eliot Gardiner's recording of J S Bach's St Matthew Passion. The open ing chord of this work, just really gets into me. Bit like the tristan chord. should be known as the St Matthew Passion chord!!

Have something of a sequence going on at the moment. A selection of Black Dyke band's cds. Featuring mainly light and well known classics. Uplifting stuff, all to Dyke's usual high standard.
I want their latest cd Classical brass, with sir Colin Davis conducting Elgar's Severn Suite, forming part of the programme.

Skalkottas Violin Sonata No 4 and String Quartets Nos 3 and 4, courtesy of a most generous Skalkottas expert. Recommended as well worth investigating but there are much more erudite criticisms available on the board than I can manage  32 Piano Pieces await for later in the weekend. |

The Rossini disc is a great favourite of mine - sheer delight from beginning to end  |

At every one of these [classical] concerts in England you will find rows of weary people who are there, not because they really like classical music, but because they think they ought to like it. (Shaw, Don Juan in Hell)

If you don't know it already, you might like to find a copy of KP's First String Quartet Thanks, trj. I don't know it, and I'm grateful for the recommendation. Now spinning here:  - and in particular at the moment the Salve intemerata motet which seems to increase the available space in the universe (or in mine, anyway) as it goes along. |

The new " RZEWSKI PLAYS RZEWSKI" DVD of "The People United Will Never Be Defeated", (Miami International Piano Festival March 26 2007). He plays from the score this time, and the performance is quite different from previous ones I have heard him give - much more relaxed, for a start. A pleasure to watch, as well as listen to.  Contrary to what Amazon UK claim, it is Region 0, not Region 1. |

Simeon ten Holt - Lemniscat - 4 pianos
There have been a few references to him on this board, but for those who don't know, he's a Dutch consonant "post-minimalist" born 1923 who used to compose rather more hard-assed stuff up to the 1970s. Refreshingly he doesn't sound like anyone you might imagine as an American or British counterpart. Several works of potentially serious length (this recording is c.150 minutes) often for c.4 pianos which will sound vacuous to some and engaging to others. Probably more effective in minor mode, such as in this piece. Incantatie IV is the most effective of his I've heard.
