The French pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard has signed to DG. Although he has appeared on the label before - notably in the collection of Ligeti concertos with the Ensemble InterContemporain under Pierre Boulez - this is his solo debut on the Yellow Label. His first recording, due out early next year, is of JS Bach's The Art of Fugue.

I'm currently comparing Bartók recordings by the Quatuor Ébčne and the Quatuor Parker.
Do you suppose if you put them together you could call them the Ébčne-Parker Octet?

Look forward to seeing the verdict in International Record Review.
Publication date seems to vary wildly from month to month.

Leg Cramps (Night Cramps)
Leg cramps are common. The cause is not known in most cases. However, some medicines and some medical conditions can sometimes cause leg cramps. Regular calf stretching exercises may prevent leg cramps. Quinine tablets may be advised if you have leg cramps regularly.
What are leg cramps?
A leg cramp is a pain that comes from a muscle in the leg. It is due to a muscle spasm which is when a muscle contracts too hard. It usually occurs in one of the calf muscles, below and behind a knee. The small muscles of the feet are sometimes affected.
A cramp pain typically lasts a few minutes. In some cases it lasts just seconds, but in some cases it can last up to 10 minutes. The severity of the pain varies. The muscle may remain tender for up to 24 hours after a leg cramp. Leg cramps usually occur when you are resting - most commonly at night when in bed. (They are often called night cramps.) They may wake you from sleep. It can become a distressing condition if your sleep is regularly disturbed.

One has often wondered how well high profile organists would cope on pianoforte.
Could Reginald Goss-Custard have trotted out Beethoven's Emperor ?

Perhaps Benjamin Britten did believe in a Creator God after all.

Curry
Type of food eaten after the pubs shut. Curry comes in many forms, such as Korma, Dupiaza, Bhuna, Madras, etc., etc., but they all taste much the same after seven pints of lager. The thing to do when you go for a curry is always order far too many poppadoms. You order these because you are very hungry when you arrive, but after you've eaten ten of these bastards (deep-fried greasy discs that look like huge crisps), you won't have room left for the main course, which is what you've paid the money for. What's more, the waiter knows full well that you're going to fall for this old one. Which is quite fair, as it gives him some recompense for the amount of times drunken wankers have clicked their fingers at him and said 'Oi, Gandhi.'
The other thing to do when you go for a curry is to delegate one person at your table to be the one who says 'Actually, of course, in India they never eat anything like this.' Which is quite true, as Indians never make the mistake of ordering far too many poppadoms. Another person at your table should be the One Who Orders Egg and Chips Because They Don't Like Foreign Food (See WAYS YOU CAN TELL OTHER BRITISH TOURISTS WHEN ABROAD). Best of all, however, someone should make a point of ordering the hottest curry on the menu to show what a Lad they are. They will, of course, spend the rest of the meal hyperventilating, choking and burning their throat, but it is imperative that if you want to be Hard, then you don't Eat Foreign unless you can burn your mouth off. Remember - the Hard person does not leave any curry on his plate, not for no one.
