(I remember an advertisement at a toilet in Sydney assuring users of the facilities that such and such a cleaning company guaranteed us "comfort and hygiene around the clock". I'm sure you can imagine which letter some wag had effaced.)

Flourish of Clocks, Turfers. Honestly, this schoolboy sniggering is so Teutonic Modernist. Well there's a thing. I have just noticed that in amongst the list of performers on that CD is none other than our own Member Marbleflugel. |

bbm, I'm amazed that your ears can cope with 4 CD players playing at once   I usually take my time to listen to new aquisitions one at a time, and take my time to get around to listening sometimes. I bought 100 old LPs in January, and tomorrow morning I may (not sure) listen to the twentieth LP selected from the box. I did have spinning earlier : Schubert String Quartet No 13 D.804 Brodsky String Quartet from an IMP Classics LP from 1986 |

 Well impressed. Joins Gielen and Wigglesworth as my favorite recordings of a Cooke performing version. |

Just finished: Schubert: Schwanengesang Jonathan Lemalu, Malcolm Martineau (from last year's Hay festival, I think) I found this very moving, particularly Am Meer, in the higher bits of which JL goes into a slightly crooning voice. It stays this side of Crosby or whatever, and sounds really heartbroken.  |

A deeply impressive performance of Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time by the Hebrides Ensemble, an Edinburgh based group. Fortuitously, the CD arrived this morning and provided stimulating listening before I attend Ian Pace's recital of 'Vingt regards' this evening; a further journey in Messiaen's world of sound. I've now opted for 'the rest is silence' in-between.
The recording on Linn Records also includes:
Theme et variations
Piece pour piano et quatuor a cordes
Fantaisie - composed in 1933 but lost until discovered in the composer's
papers last year
Le Merle noir

Deeply embarrassing.
It's the Pet Shop Boys. Well, my old Discography tape got chewed up so I ordered a cd from Amazon market place on Thursday, then ordered another two of theirs, one of which arrived today "Fundamental" I just so love the Pet Shop Boys, the lyrics are great. Rocking along now to the Sodom & Gomorrah Show.
But prior to that I have been listening to Beethoven. Honest I have, his 5th, same as marblefluegel.
Edit. Even more embarrissing was speling embarrising rong in initial post. Before I corecked it.

The Pet Shop Boys. Haven't heard of them in a very long time. So very, very 1980s. Remember the clip with Joss Ackland as the bilingual illiterate? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2pNF_IXfyIAckland described this video later as "awful" but to me, it brings back happy memories. I still have the maxi single of this song!  |
