POX = Pick Only Ten
Hoping to pick up on some more gems on this label's vast looking catalogue...someday :-) obv started out with some of the Cage and Ligeti stuff on it, and every now and again I get something else, such as Schnebel's "Missa".
Also this board has died out a bit, so...

and may I recommend:
Nancarrow: complete studies for player piano
Globokar: Toucher
Claus-Steffen Mahnkopf: various stuff (at least some of it)
The Holliger quartet is one on that long list of pieces I've been meaning to get round to for years thus far without results...

I'd second all the previous recommendations, and also add:
Nono - any of the various discs on Wergo
Schnebel - Re-Visionen
Schnebel - Choralvorspiele, etc.
Spahlinger - inter-mezzo, etc.
Walter Zimmermann - Singbarer Rest, Die Blinden

When you hear that you'll wonder how you managed to live without it for so long. |

Nancarrow: complete studies for player piano
Not quite complete, and not the instrument Nancarrow wanted the vast majority of them played on, (that one, with a very different timbre, was out of commission at the time of the Wergo recordings). Excellent programme notes by Tenney though. Have you tried either of the first two volumes of the ongoing MDG series of the complete (as in all of them) studies, Evan? If not, I strongly recommend that you do. An instrument Nancarrow approved of, ( a 1928 Bösendorfer with specially adapted hammer rail), and rather better recording, offering considerably clearer textures. Oh, and as hh has commented, the instrument is in tune. ;-) See here, but ignore the erroneous claim that the Bösendorfer was Nancarrow's. It wasn't, but he did specifically approve adaptations employed, and the resulting sound, "the sound of the hammer rail is perfect". |

Yes I have that Holliger's quartet and "Arie Dissolute" (really must check the rest of that Hubler disc) and some Mahnkopf on mp3; "Heterophonie" on an old LP. Love all of these. Heard a few of the late Nancarrow studies, courtesy of a friend.
Thx so far but this is more POV than POX so far ;-)
x-post: Whatever the recording Nancarrow's music really has an impact, which I know all about as I've felt how that fades away, too.

Too many too choose from and I've been separated from my record/CD collection , so one of the more (UK) elusive CDs springs to mind. Klaus K.Hubler. A collection of various works. http://opac.tohomusic.ac.jp/cgi-bin/exec_cgi/ibibdet.cgi?CGILANG=japanese&U_CHARSET=euc-jp&ID=BB00027734&TOGID=&HOLSC=&HOLDNO=&HOLSERKEY=&HOLSERKEY&Arie dissolute ; Sonetto LXXXIII del Michelangelo ; Reisswerck ; "Feuerzauber" auch Augenmusik ; Cercar ; Opus breve ; Kryptogramm ; Epiphyt / Klaus K. Hubler Mainz : Wergo , p1994 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Didn't want to start a Klaus K. Hubler thread so I'll ask here. I picked up an early Col Lego LP ( in Germany) of string Quartets by Hubler, played by Arditti String Quartet. I once contacted the company to suggest a possible CD release. At the time they denied any knowledge. I wonder if the company could have been Wergo instead, though of course I think I'm right. ;-) Anyway I'd recommend listening to either recording. |

Indeed. The first one is the one I mentioned earlier though I didn't give a full track listing. The second one most certainly was on Col Legno, and has never come out on CD; it's one of the few LPs I've hung on to. |

I'll get my coat... |

Yes, very much so. ( Treibstoff is a particular favorite.) There's some very good stuff on her Wergo disc. Also some good pieces on the Wergo discs of Caspar Johannes Walter (the durchscheinende Etude series is quite good) and Karin Haussmann. (You might also try the timescraper discs of Bauckholt and/or Walter.) Re the Klaus K. Huebler LP, I contacted col legno years ago and asked if they had any plans to release it on CD, and they said no. |

I like Col Lego and their yellow-headed producers (see reply 7, not having a go though CT!) and resolve to call the label that henceforth...  |
