Why I never got round to it before I do not know. Neither do I, especially since (judging from the packaging in your image and from my increasingly distant memory of HM's various imprints) they've reissued a budget-price disc at mid-price. Tut.  |

Yes, that might well be true -- was that the pre "musique d'abord" budget line? In any case it's so far out of print it's hopeless. And now I shall have the prestige and glamour that only the hm Gold line bestows. So there. |

'Are you happy with your mouthpiece?'
Incidentally, mine's made from crystal. I love the focused sound it makes. A bit of a shame that my clarinet needs a major overhaul as does my technique. Mine's a Vandoren B40 - I tried crystal once upon a time but it restricted my range of articulations to the point where slap didn't work any more. Which was obviously not on. And yes, I am happy with it. I spent far too long at L'Olifant yesterday trying bass clarinet mouthpieces since my trusty Selmer F is about 16 years old now. They didn't have any Fs and I couldn't decide between a G (which made an absolute monster of a sound and can play five octaves without a problem but couldn't do really subtle articulations or very quiet dynamics) and a B40 (which made a very lovely sound but didn't have the same fortissimo and the top of the 5th octave didn't really work but one doesn't need that every day). So I took both of course. One to give the brass a run for their money and one for gentle things with piano, for example. Anyone else seen the published piano reduction? [...] (not by the composer but I've forgotten by whom) Stephen Pruslin, maybe? I haven't seen it, though. I think I would have remembered had it been he. The name of the reducer doesn't appear on the cover, alas, which is the only page I've found to look at online... Brahms sonatas - like hh I'm far too fussy to be happy with any recording. I didn't perform them for a long time until I played them with a certain I. Pace. We made a point of doing the articulations he wrote and the results were very fine I think, to the point where we did indeed contemplate recording them. Oh well. |

Thought it was still available when I stopped working for HM at the beginning of this year but I may be mistaken. Enjoy, anyway! NS (or about to be): Jonathan Harvey, orchestral works/BBC SSO (Gramophone Contemporary Award 2008) - haven't listened to this yet. |

In any case, I'm sure nobody else cares. In fact, I'm not sure I care.  |

Arrived today from Guernsey, at a bargain price of £3, as recommended by George and perfect wagnerite, the Klemperer recording of Beethoven's Eroica. Just playing it now guys, see what you mean, it's got a definite kick and passion  |

But yes, the Ockeghem is good too. I basically should just pick up everything Organum has done, is the sense I'm getting... I've never picked up their chant recordings because I'm not big on recorded chant, but the completist in me is chirping... |

Blimey One does have to be pretty careful with the upper half of said octave - it should be used with great discretion and not too loudly, and only after checking with an experienced player (hint). And some players prefer a setup which doesn't let them go above F, which for most pieces (including Ferneyhough but not including Barrett) is all you'll never need. But it's there. |

It's worth noting, though, that their approach has evolved out of all recognition in the course of their recording career. Of their two (to my knowledge) CDs of Nôtre Dame organum, the first is not that different from the kind of interpretation favoured by most other specialists in this repertoire, while their second  is a different matter altogether. I find tracing this evolution quite fascinating, but if you're expecting all their recordings to be like their Machaut you'll be disappointed. Just spun: Gielen's Mahler 9. Wonderful. I've been waxing lyrical about Maderna's and Ančerl's recorded accounts of this work recently, and Gielen's joins these (and not only these) as being so convincing as to be my "favourite" interpretation of the work - while I'm listening to them. Having said that, Gielen's first movement especially is so like how I imagine it from the score (not necessarily a superlative recommendation as such, because what I value about the other two aforementioned recordings is partly how unlike my internal image of the music they are) that it ends up in a category of its own. |

At the moment, I'm listening to trash from the 1980s via Youtube: Huey Lewis, Limahl, A-ha, T'pau, etc.
