Charles Rosen's March 1996 CD of Beethoven's Op. 106 and 110. Excellent 'sleeve notes'.  |

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

Martin, Die Weise von Liebe und Tod des Cornets Christoph Rilke. Stotijn, Orchester Musikkollegium Winterthur, Jac van Steen.
Far canal!
An hour-long song-cycle for contralto and orchestra. Text is a weird kind of heraldic story although the hero doesn't have any particularly triumphal moments; he gets appointed flagbearer (which is roughly what a Cornet is, as far as I can tell), rides for a bit, frees a girl who's tied to a tree, gets seduced by a countess, the castle gets set on fire by the enemy, he rides out to meet them and gets the chop. (The death scene is very Freudian indeed!)
The poetry is one stunning image after another, the music is one gorgeous moment after another. Very heady stuff. Feels like a heck of a lot less than an hour.
Ollie - weren't you less than enthusiastic a while ago about Martin's Der Sturm? I really like it - and even more the Jedermann Monologues. |

t_i_n, it's the CD that comes in a plastic envelope stuck inside the back cover of 1997 edition of "The Classical Style", by the man himself, hence the " ". |

I don't think that was me since I've never heard it although I've done sillier things than that. Maybe I was unenthused about the prospect of hearing it on the basis of some other less inspiring things of his I'd heard... could that be it? Which recording should I hear the Jedermann pieces in? (Bearing in mind that I'm something of a F-D fan... ) |

Working through a stack of cheap CDs bought yesterday.
Bloch: Piano Quintets 1 + 2
Jon Leifs: Works for voices + orchestra
Ernesto Nazareth: piano music
Sibelius: Orchestral pieces (Tapiola etc)
Maurice Delage: double CD of chamber music
Faure : Piano Quintets (as recommended by one of our members)
all for £30 - I don't buy full-price if I can avoid it.
But I couldn't resist a full price York Bowen piano CD - 6th sonata (his last piece) and the complete op 102 preludes played by Joop Celis - wonderful stuff !

earlier on today it was morton feldman "violin and string quartet"  ~peter rundel & pelegrini 4tet, just now is La Legende d'Eer, Xenakis, . I'm none too convinced with big the long blubber section , the unfolding parts, with the white-noise bursts before that are extremely beautiful. however, Persepolis is the more mind-blowing than Legende, the impression is that, despite its (persepolis') 50 or so minutes, and the masses of self-quotation , it still feels like a small fragment of something much larger and on-going. astonishing that such a piece be commissioned by the Shah of Iran. Time to slot persepolis disc in. |

Well Jedermann was very fine but the Epilogue from Der Sturm was magnificent!  |
