Not quite "now" spinning, but soon in E-Space will be my new Strasbourg purchase of Luc Ferrari's "Didascalies"...the recording from just before (3 days or summat) he died...hoping it's a winner in memoriam at least...

Currently spinning Pabst's paraphrases on Tchaikovsky - played by Oleg Marshev. Great stuff and hopefully sufficiently jolly to take my mind off going back to work a bit later on.

 Just on my first listen through now ... still forming opinions. In particular, trying to judge whether I like it more or less than the Gardiner recording (which has some wonderful playing, but sounds like it was recorded in my living room). |

 She has my favorite voice in new music. If only she performed other composers' music too. . . A workshop with Monk probably five or six years ago was the first glop in the slow mudslide of self-criticism that eventually led me to stop singing seriously. It was one of those incredible formative experiences that seems fantastic at first, then seems to have terrifying ramifications, then finally seems to have been super-important in a totally salutary way. |

 Just back from an impromptu stop at Newbury Comics en route somewhere else, from which I emerged with this gem for $6. Just onto the second track now, but it's marvelous stuff, as I expected. |

This week I've been I've been playing, first thing in the morning, this mp3 of Klaus Huebler's 3rd string quartet, which has had the effect of making everything better than it is after its over.
The right piece of music at the right time.

Have only recently woken after imbibing a little too much earlier on, but yesterday, to mark Paul Badura-Skoda's 80th birthday, was listening to this:  Am about to listen to more PBS Beethoven right now! Accompanied by some strong coffee ... That's a totally different booklet cover to my copy. Mine has an illustration if part of the keyboard and the maker's plate for the instrument used. Mine's the 1987AAD release.Is your copy a later (ADD) transfer by any chance? |

Calcutta Slide Guitar by Debashish Bhattacharya. Don't know if they are morning ragas, the sleeve notes don't specify, but they work for me this Sunday.

Now spinning here... Tchaikovsky's PC No.1 on SACD with Yevgeny Sudbin and the Sao Paolo Symphony conducted by John Neschling - not a barnstorming rendition of the 1st mvt, but played with a delicate touch. Splendid sound from BIS.

Hi Ali - long time, no post!  The timps are a bit tame, to be honest, by your exacting standards, being placed a little too far back; woodwind solos and brass are prominent in the orchestral texture, although there is a fair bit of power in the finale. Have you heard the Zinman Mahler 3 yet? |

Been so busy of late and not acquired the Mahler 3.
A shade disappointed with the Resurrection; will get 3 but no sleepless nights over it.
Do you know Arensky's charming first symphony ?
