I've got score and recording (we've got Summery Jermerly and the Camford Oxerata on Naxos) of the Dufay now, so will hopefully have some ideas by tomorrow.
Well slap me sideways and call me Keith. That's a blooming good Credo. It's given me enough get up and go to go and do the washing up. |

Actually, it seems to be a common thread running through a lot of the music of this time. The credos are generally fairly stonking.
Just listened to that of the Josquin Missa l'homme armé super voces musicales.

Good choice HH!
I've just transferred a Reconstruction of a Liszt recital which I recorded years ago to mp3 - the pianist was Martin van der Hoek (spelling?) and it's great. Trouble is I think it's cut the end off one of the pieces for some reason!

Do you mean Martijn van den Hoek? I'm planning on listning to his recording of Schubert Impromptus tomorrow night. |

Now spinning.
Peter Ruzicka, String Quartets (Ardittis on ECM, with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau narrating in the String Qt #4, "...sich verlierend")
Some very nice writing indeed interspersed with a hearty serving of hyperexpressionist Austro-modernist cliche (stabbing fff minor-ninth tutti string chords, anyone?); and he is a bit too pleased with himself for including Mahler quotations at the end of things. Oh, and if one more person sets the Wittgenstein "Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muss man schweigen" I will eat my foot.
Wow, that came out more negatively than I intended; I actually quite enjoy most of the disc. Particularly the SQ #3 "...über ein Verschwinden" and the tiny little Klangschatten.

I wasn't aware he'd made any recordings - this was a live recital from about 1997. It's brilliant stuff, few people dare to play the Grande Galop Chromatique in concert!! HH - I shall have to re-record it to get the ending! |

Apart from some popular classics type compilations, he has recorded a couple of CDs of Schubert items for Brilliant Classics' "Art Music" recording arm. I have them as part of the Brilliant Classics "Schubert - The Masterworks" 40 CD box. I grabbed a set when HMV were doing them for around £18, including delivery, a few months back. Lots of interesting recording in that set. Some by established performers, some by less well know, but pretty good ones. A fair few licensed from the likes of Hänssler, CDR and Nimbus, etc.

I bought Schubert - The Collector's Edition on EMI today. 50 CDs for £45 from HMV. It was an impulse buy but also because the only Schubert CDs I already had were the symphonies. I haven't got round to listening to any of them yet and at less than £1 per CD one shouldn't grumble but although there is a list of contents, an index would have been nice. Also, as with the Brilliant Bach set, a CD with notes for all the recordings... Perhaps I'm just expecting too much.

Hmmmmm....... Sorry, Ian, settings expressly designed to instigate autophagy are disqualified. now: Zelenka trio sonatas, Holliger/Bourgue etc. on ECM. I've wanted this recording since I heard one of the sonatas on the radio a long time ago - must have been six or seven years, but never wanted to shell out $40 for it. finally got it for $15 on eBay, and it arrived today. As much a fan of period performance as I am, Holliger's tone is beautiful, the bassoon sounds great, and the music is exquisite. worth waiting for. |

Tony, I went into a local HMV store on Sunday, with the aim of purchasing that set, but fortunately someone else had go to it first. "Fortunately" because a message on the BBC Radio 3 CD Review board alerted me to the fact that the French Amazon site was doing it for rather less than £35.76, including p&p. I placed my order and am awaiting delivery.

Anybody agree that Holliger is one of the greatest all-round musicians of the last 100 years? Heard him performing his own stuff and Beethoven last week and was completely enthralled (as a lapsed oboist myself)! Why are wind players less celebrated than singers or pianists?! |

Maybe because there isn't anything like the same amount of music for them to play from composers in the standard repertoire? |
