I'd not heard of the Judith Weir piece (although, not being English, I'm allowed to have barely heard of Judith Weir full stop.) I think that is just about allowed as long as you are also the not being Scottish sort of not being being English  |

As for titles, I always thought it was a bit embarassing that Stravinsky didn't know how to spell 'write-off'.
Sacre Dieu! Was his spelling really that bad?! I think you mean speling, but don't be imberist. |

Sacre Dieu! Was his spelling really that bad?! t-i-n, I keep forgetting that my important research on this has not yet been published. It, however, conclusively proves that the original title in English as it should be, Write-off Spring, was inspired by Strav having an upsetting and visionary dream about a Slinky that kept stopping halfway down the stairs, and it was only translated into French under pressure from Micheal Flatley (the original lead) to make it sound more posh. I hope this helps, but please keep this under your chapeau as I am expecting a phone call from Social Services the Journal of Musicology any day now. |

Alemdar Karamanov - Symphony no 23 subtitled I am Jesus.
Pretty good composer, by the way.

Benedict Mason's a repeat offender. Currently listening to The Four Slopes of Twice among Gliders of her Gravity  |

I think that's a lovely title, Aaron. How's the piece, btw? I think I have that Donaueschingen set buried in a 'still to be unwrapped' pile somewhere. Doesn't it have some Estrada on it too?

No, the Mason is on the '97, and the Estrada on the '02. HOWEVER - you must stop whatever you are doing, I don't care if you're at work or whatever, run home and find the 97 set, and listen to the Peter Ablinger IEAOV piece therein. As for the Mason, I quite like it, although I suspect not as much as Aaron does. |

As for the Mason, I quite like it, although I suspect not as much as Aaron does. I'm not blown away by the Mason, really. I have to admit to being a bit disappointed w/ his earlier work. The first piece of his I really knew at all was the felt | ebb | whatever | whatever, and I was quite stunned by that piece ... then went looking for earlier work, and was rather unimpressed, on the whole. The Ablinger is certainly worth a listen, and I think I prefer the version on the Donaueschingen '97 disc to the live Apt House performance from Hear & Now from a year or two ago. Anyone happen to hear that one in person? I'd be quite curious to know how the spatialization works. As an aside, until I (finally) change the title of the piece I'm working on at the moment, I think I should stop making fun of other people's titles. Dance me through the panic. Ugh. How naff, as you all might say.  |

I'm just putting the finishing touches to my piece on the Scottish ( ) composer Judith Weir, but I promise that I'll listen to the Ablinger just as soon as I've put this very-long-promised pile of CDs in the post to RI ... Now you can't complain if I make that a priority, can you?! |

Just thought that I'd mention en passant that being a Scottish composer (with or without a bold face) is not quite the equivalent of original sin... Best, Alistair |
