A Russian five, indeed! (With none of the Russian Five in it!)  |

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

 COTIFARL I have a feeling that Zoltan was actually a fine artist (like Oistrakh? Milstein?) recording cheesy stuff he or she loved under a name that would not diminish recordings of works like Tchaikovsky, etc. TOmmo |

A most welcome CD to replace my audio cassette:
Luciano Berio - Recital for Cathy Berberian; Folk Songs; Weill-Berio Songs
I was introduced to this programme at an ENO Gala in the late 70s. Cathy Berberian was wheelchair bound but her presence and power remained undiminished.
Ordered the CD, online, for just under £6 and Amazon arranged postal delivery within three days.

Not quite spinning yet, but yesterday my trip to town by some strange coincidence took me past the Harold Moores emporium, where I acquired Punch and Judy, The Rake's Progress (Gardiner), Martinu's Julietta and Dillon's The Soadie Waste all for less than forty quid. Anyone looking to stock up on cheapish s/h (presumably review-) copies of NMC stuff could do worse than drop in before it's all gone.

Spinning shortly:  Cristian was an old student of mine and sent me this and a couple of other discs recently. This one is of mad electronica he's done for installations in Barcelona, where he's based. I love it when this happens - i.e. when a student follows his own lights and becomes what he always wanted to be, doing what he always swore he would; and feeling I had a small part to play in that (that's what he tells me, anyway). Talking of Eru's 80% for his recital on another thread, Cristian was the only student I can remember getting over 80% for our final-year Studio Work module. It's hardly commercial stuff, but he has a cult following out there in the wilds of Euro-clubdom and electronigentsia. |

(lowercase, innit?) Please react when you get a chance -- thanks! Oops! my excuse is I wasn't actually looking at the CD at the time. I have a lot of work to do tonight but I might reward myself with it at the end, otherwise it will have to wait until my upcoming weekend in Weston-super-Mare (ugh) for my sister-in-law's 40th birthday is over. Biroc told me I would like it. (The Dillon piece, not the putrid seaside town.) |

Krenek, Im Tal der Zeit, op 232 (1979)
A horrible recording of a good performance of a rather fetching little work -- still waiting in vain, though, for a Krenek work as excellent as Sestina, the Lamentations, or the early Reisebuch.

Found it in a Windsor charity shop today. Quite as delightful as I expected fro those involved. Delightful indeed, Bryn! Casadesus is wonderful in this concerto, especially in the finale. I also like his recordings of the First and Fourth Beethoven concerto with Eduard van Beinum conducting the Concertgebouw Orchestra. |
