http://www.amazon.com/Froberger-Ou-lintranquillit%C3%A9-Johann-Jacob/dp/B0000DETAZ/ref=sr_1_24/104-3971321-5248707?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1177004130&sr=1-24I would imagine that to many listeners, the tunings used in these performances would sound just as much like 'microtonal' tunings as, say, what one would find in Haba, much less someone like Ben Johnston, Grisey, Ferneyhough, Lucier, late 70s/80s Feldman, etc., etc. Indeed. I've had that Froberger disc for years, and I still smile every time she hits that fantastic low G. Maybe I'll pull a Sudden and paste an image of the cover all over the boards and the slightest hint of an opportunity  |

That's hardly fair. Pathetically uninventive creature that I am I only ever recommend the same recordings over and over again in a loop of five or six. Haven't you noticed? It'll be time for the live Barbirolli Mahler 6 again soon.  So that Furburger, sorry, Froberger is good is it? Hm. And here I am sitting at a computer. No, Ollie! Don't click on that!...... |

Happy now? Wow, that must have been expensive. Anyhow, yes, I am happy. That disc changed my musical life, up to and including the piece for toy pianos that is splayed all over my desk and which I should be inking in right now, and which is in no small part a hommage à Froberger. Not that is either here, there, or anywhere else. Tell you what. If you don't like the Froberger I will buy that Byrd disc that also found its way to my Amazon wish list because of you. I think that sounds fair. |

Shouldn't it be if I do like the Froberger? Hardly seems fair for you to deny yourself one of the most magical recordings I know of anything by anyone ever just because you recommended something I like...  |

I haven't yet heard much from either of them that turned my crank but I'll listen to your clip as soon as this chalumeau concerto by Hoffmeister is over.

As this thread momentarily turned into a thread about bizarre instruments of the recent past with those quartertone and double doobreys (which I wonder whether are really favourites....) coudl we have a special mention for instruments of yesteryear that may seem a little bizarre now?
I like the Hurdy Gurdy, and the Shawm, and Crumhorns. Theorbos aren't bad either.
And from more recent times, I forgot to mention that I like Accordians, and Mandolins. In fact, I am listening to a really cheesy record called 'Mandolins of Italy' right now.

A friend of mine is something of an authority on the ukulele. Or to be more precise the banjolele, which is a cross between a banjo and a ukulele and was the instrument that George Formby used. He deals in them and he was once telephoned by George Harrison for a meeting for advice on the instrument (he plays it at the end of that single Free as a Bird that the Beatles released under unusual circumstances). Sorry to sound like a boring name-dropper. Anyway, he's putting on a concert soon in which ukuleles will play, amongst other gems, the William Tell overture and music by JS Bach. One for the connoiseurs, I think. |

Well, it's a page ago now, but thanks, Aaron, for the clarification and apologies for the suspicious question.
