Gosh! is that the time? Congratulations to hh and goodnight to whoever is still awake.
Biroc, that stuff will rot your brain. No reason to stay away from it of course.

My pleasure. I do occsionally have my uses, it seems. Just for the record, however, I "profess" nothing; who do you think I am - Richard IV?... Best, Alistair |

I didn't think I knew any composers who didn't have that disc.
Now you know another. I've heard it but didn't find it that interesting, Tragoedia being the only work on it that I particularly like, but not really in this performance. You don't like Secret Theatre??!!!  Neither do I particularly, opilec. Or maybe I should rephrase that. Put it this way: despite what must be numerous hearings of that Boulez/EIC CD as a teenager (it was one of the first contemporary-music CDs I owned), I have no memory of anything after about the first minute and a half of Secret Theatre. Must try again some time, though I suspect it'll be in one ear and out through the nose again. Classic recording of Max's "Revelation and Fall".
Not to mention the rather beautiful Leopardi Fragments. Hmmm... I think I might have to order that CD for myself as soon as possible. And the recording of Ogden playing the 5 piano pieces which I believe tinners asked me about aeons ago on this thread and I forgot to tell him about...so now I have. What did I ask, Biroc? I didn't profess ignorance that there was an available recording of those pieces, did I? That does seem to ring a bell ... Which is embarrassing, since I do own a copy of that EMI disc. Must admit I didn't remember there being any piano music on it.  |

I would like to tender my gratitude to Member Sudden for some quite seriously side-endangering pleasure experienced via this portal. |

That's true for me for much of Birtwistle's music, too, but .... tinners, that is rather the point of B's large-scale structural approach, I would think? His general fascination w/ labyrinths (or, moreover, the "parade form" works) would suggest that your ability to find signposts and mnemonic routes back through the piece is intended to be compromised. Much more to say on that, but probably not in the NS thread. NS here ...  A brilliant disc, but I have to admit that I'm only listening to it b/c it was towards the top of one of the few piles of CDs yet to go in a box ... |

Rachmaninoff - Piano Concerto No.1 with Sviatoslav Richter/Kurt Sanderling/USSR Radio Symphony Orchestra
One of last week's record shop purchases, and I'm blown away by it. Beautifully paced 1st movement, which gives real weight to the cadenza, and the slow movement was heartbreaking (and also had some lovely horn vibrato!)
For me, Richter can do no wrong in this kind of repertoire!

A DVD found in the Windsor Oxfam shop today: Jarman's "The Tempest". O.K. so I already had a DVD-R recording of it from ArtsWorld (the former name of Sky Arts), but this is not only legit, but has a commentary by Willcox and Middleton, plus an extract from an intervierw with Jarman, and a couple of Super 8 silent shorts. Very happy to part with £3.99 for it. Now to search the Internet for any signs of Greenaway's "Prospero's Books" making it to DVD yet. Hmm, just checked. No, still only on VHS. And this just does not cut the mustard as a substitute. |

Early morning spinning: Wieland Hoban's Jormungandr. Lots of nice sounds in the strings, not enough vowels in the title.

You're listening to that at, what, 4:30 in the morning? I admire your fortitude. Now spinning here: nothing; it's 5:20 in the bloody morning! |
