Lovely piece there. Eruanto, I have the Hickox version but I be getting the david Lloyd-Jones one, as i think that seems to be more focused than any Ive heard.

Be playing plenty of cds today< it hink. Yesterday, though, I had loads on my mp3 player, connected to the car audio system. the first time me and my wife used it. The sound quality was unbelievable!!! Had a wide selection on, including VW, Wagner, Rimsky, Copland and a selection of music for brass band. Great time it was too!!

I've been drafted in to sing the B Minor Mass at the end of next month, so I thought I'd treat myself to a copy of this while I learn my part:



It's a joy - although since I've not sung before a paying audience for about 10 years, I fear I'm setting my bar of comparison a little high...  Undecided

Currently spinning


I am hereby offering a little clavichord action, which also appeared on the M&S boards.

Oh, horror! It's KIRNBERGER III and not LEHMAN XQZ
Hopefully people can still find a way to enjoy it.

An old recording I've had for years. 
Skalkottas - 12 Greek dances for orchestra recorded in 1957. Very spirited performances by Gregory Millar with the Little Symphony Orchestra of San Francisco.



Apparently most people thought the first recordings of any these pieces was by Dimitri Mitropoulos. I did until recently.

Brahms, Serenade no.1, a new recording by Capella Augustina (not previously a name to me, though I see plenty of familiar names from the Cologne HIP fraternity in its lineup) conducted by Andreas Spering. I thought I might like this piece on acount of its being roughly contemporaneous with the first Sextet, one of the few pieces of Brahms I don't tire of. The first movement seems somewhat uninspired but the second and third are exactly the kind of thing I was expecting, which is nice.

I was impressed with this too. In fact, I am impressed with the cycle so far.

Lovely way to wake up. Especially the Brahms Piano Quarter in A major slow movement.

Hi prawn (and welcome!) -

Don't know if this might be useful information but in the second formatting bar (so the one under the B, I, U, S stuff) there are a few handy buttons - the second of them puts any highlighted text between [ img][/ img] tags so that the picture is displayed instead of just the link. Or if nothing's highlighted it just puts the boxes next to each other and you can type or copy the link's web address in the middle.



As you've probably noticed there are lots of us who find that a very useful toy. Wink

Yes, great cycle that. Sounds like the David Zinman/Tonhallae Orchestra could be the cycle to have complete. I have No3, which is quite impressive.

With the Proms season prospectus out now, slightly earlier than usual, not a bad thing, I thought I be on one of the planned concerts. The one with the BBC Concert orchestra with Vernon Handley.

Bax: Garden of Fand/Ulster O/Bryden Thomson
Elgar Violin Concerto/Kennedy/CBSO/Rattle
Intimations of Immortality/James Gilchrist/Bournemouth SO & Chorus/David Hill

The new BIS recording of music by John Pickard.

Like the music of a certain green gentleman not a million miles from here, it's of today, finely crafted, approachable but never patronising. I know the first work very well from recordings of broadcasts, and I also have the Dutton CD of String Quartets, but this first audition shows that the other works on the disc, new to me are of similar quality. The concerto for trombone, percussion and strings, The Spindle of Necessity is a real find, and as I progress on to Channel Firing it's obvious that it is too.

Stunningly recorded and virtuosically played under the baton of Martyn Brabbins, who obviously more than has the measure of these pieces, this is a disc which will be back in the machine before the end of the day without a doubt
