Well here were at least three recordings of it released in the UK last year. Two were re-issues, admittedly but the third was a new recording. That's pretty mainstream, I reckon, and I'd recognise it anywhere, having first heard it in my youth. I last heard it on Radio 3 less than two years ago. |

Indeed, so mainstream is it that it even appears on the children's CD, "Beethoven's Wig 3". |

Played not in fact by the Belcea Quartet but by the one quartet who in my estimation have a slight edge over same in these pieces at the moment. That's by the by however. Yes, points to Member Bryn for the correct identification of the Bartók String quartet no. 4 Sz 91.
I would like to thank Messrs Sorkin, Loft, Ilmer and Sopkin, through whose good offices I was introduced to this work, and Mr Singer, whose sewing machine shop in Windsor made the Saga LPs available to me at 12/6 each. Now come on os, spill the beans, which four were doing the business? Messrs Zehetmair and Schneider, and Mesdames Killius and Groben.  We do trust that Member Bryn was not attempting to inveigle us into a point-sacrificing off-topic message?  |

From the Amazon UK site, whose samples from that CD are aunavailable: "String Quartets by Thomas Zehetmair, Ulf Schneider, Béla Bartók, and Karl Amadeus Hartmann". |

In case there might be any Unklarheit, none of my snatches currently in play is Frank Martin's Golgotha or Golgatha or any other spelling of the name.  |

Regarding Puzzle 180, I wrote to Naxos last night about the problem mentioned above and this is part of the reply I received this morning: "I've checked this thoroughly and in fact what happened on the Sven Goran Eriksson Collection was an incorrect booklet description of the first track on CD3 as 'Prelude from the Prodigal Son' when it is in fact the Fest Spel by Alfven from 8.555852." It seems that the CD mentioned is only available in Sweden:  But there's still the SGE Collection! I still think Mr IGI (and I!) should get the points but Mr Esteemed Moderator might care to revise his summary. |

192 -- Lars-Erik Larsson, Concerto for alto saxophone and string orchestra.
Go and stand in the corner! Not Larsson, but more particularly, not saxophone! I knew it didn't sound quite right, but I chalked it up to MP3ness... |

Is 192 conceivably the Jolivet Ondes Martenot concerto?
Oh dear, oh dear. Not Jolivet, and not Ondes Martenot. Room for me in this corner? |

Oh bugler! I know 193 but can't place it at all!  And it's familiar enough that doing a stylistic deduction just won't work.  |
