And wouldn't you know it... I've known and loved this one for about 20 years now. Especially this recording: Pears is marvellously nimble of tongue (and in Four in the Morning positively creepy) and even if Sitwell is a little wonky from time to time there's so much lurking behind the words when she speaks. The music is some of Walton's best, I think - gorgeously characterful miniatures.



Ollie, look what January holds in prospect. Smiley

But meanwhile more music that makes you go "huh?"...

... my first time out this week with Stravinsky's 1955 "Canticum for St Mark", and I was left wondering if I'd accidentally eaten some non-normal mushrooms for lunch?  Huh

Rozhdestvensky with the Russian National Orch at the Conservatory - programmed paired with both the Little Organ Mass and Great Organ Mass by Haydn.  Now, I wonder, err...  why?
