Angela Hewitt - Bach 2 part inventions. Not sure I like it as much as some of her other Bach recordings - rather aggressive and clipped. Also, having problems with the pitch of the instrument (s?) - some of the inventions sounded quite sharp, a problem I recall with her English Suites. Anyone else been disturbed by this?
Have you heard her live? I was very disappointed. |

I saw her do a last-minute replacement lunchtime concert at Studio 7, BBC Manchester in the early 90s. I only knew the name, and was disappointed that the programme had been changed completely from things that I'd really wanted to hear to works that meant little to me. No high expectations, but I was pretty impressed from what I remember.

Tut, tut, Chafers! Au Quai, even that's arguably better than On Way, Reeking, I guess... Best, Alistair |

I span the entirety of Einstein on the Beach this afternoon (Nonesuch recording).
The ending reduced me to a sobbing mess (as predicted). I suppose you could say it was 'our song'.

Lots of sympathy, hh; I've had similar pieces in the past. But once you've done the deed and listened again you have regained control and the piece becomes as meaningful as YOU choose rather than IT chooses...

Yes. I've always felt that there was a rather disturbing subtext to that final text (he obviously loves her, but she constantly needs assurance - she never tells him how she feels, methinks the lady doth protest too much) and now it feels like it's eerily appropriate. I think that I indulged the tears this afternoon. |

hh, no, I think that's a kind of emotional serendipity. The right thing, whatever it is, has a habit of coming by at the right moment. You needed a blub, Curly Phil was on hand. That's fine, I reckon. Same thing happened to me some years ago with the end of Rosenkavakier (jah, jah) - resignation, acceptance of loss etc.

Cd of some Bowie oddities and early stuff in honour of BobbyZ's spectacular revelation on the 'Something you didn't know about me' thread.
On at this precise moment an early demo of Quicksand, a 12-string guitar and a voice originating from somewhere between heaven and earth, my favourite voice in any genre by some way.

Stevie Wonder: Innervisions
His best album? Nice!  (Although 'Songs in the Key of Life' is a mightily impressive achievement, for its range and invention, come to think of it...) |
