Bought in Truro Cathedral Gift Shop a 2cd album of the same cathedral choir singing Vierne and organ as well. not bad buy for £9.99. Very good sound quality from Regent Records. Anybody heard of this company? Yes, everything I've come across by them is very good. They mainly put out organ and choral stuff and it's not the main type of music I tend to buy (or to listen to), but they seem not to fight shy of contemporary and 20th-century work in those genres and they've done good discs by Queens' College Cambridge Choir (Judith Weir, Howard Skempton etc.) and a couple of very good ones by Timothy Bond of little-known organ music by Britten, Tippett, John Lambert and others. I ought to spend a bit more time with these Gielen Mahler recordings. I don't have all of them though, and getting the box would unfortunately mean quite a lot of duplication as the individual issues I do have I usually bought for the couplings (of works by Schoenberg, Kurtág and others). |

Patti Smith - Horses I bought it on vinyl soon after it came out, but as I have great difficulty playing vinyl now, I got it out of the library on CD tonight.  |

According to Wiki: The cover photo was taken by Robert Mapplethorpe using natural light in a penthouse in Greenwich Village. The triangle of light on the wall was the product of the afternoon sun. The record company wanted to make various changes to the photo including airbrushing out Patti Smith's moustache but Smith overruled such attempts.That's my sort of woman!  Here's an interesting Observer article on the subject: Who says women can't be sexy with a five o'clock shadow? |

Another CD I got from the library yesterday is a recent acquisition which contains 2 Feldman works, neither of which I know: Rothko Chapel and Why Patterns? It's just been playing. Not a recent recording, dates from 1990.  |

While I was away I indulged my Mahlerian tendencies rather a lot and completed my first listenings to Gielen's cycle. Once more: this is unmissable for anyone with an interest in this music. Ah, I must listen to that cycle some time. Or rather to the symphonies I haven't got around to listening to. Hm, wonder where my copy's got to?  Richard, I do indeed hope you have the booklet... |

Indeed, I have two in my possession, but only one belongs to me. Would you like me to send it (with the accompanying CDs of course) or can you wait until 6/11? My Norrington Mahler 5 arrived today. That will be next up I think. |

I rather like Vaclav Neumann's Mahler. I have numbers 2&5
N/S Panufnik (Sir A) String Sextet lovely music for a wet afternoon. Is he not under-rated?

Very much so., though not universally: I read an article this week noting that Nigel Osborne is a great admirer. We're still waiting for all the symphonies to be available though, not to mention the tranche of recordings on Conifer, lost to circulation following their demise, to be reissued - the disc including that sextet (also N/S here, now) amongst them. |

Apart from the sextet disc I only have the Bassoon and Violin Concertos I think the rhythmic drive of the Sextet very exciting. Looking up Panufnik I see on the same page I have listed a md of Osborne's Violin Concerto can't remember ever playing it. I'll give it a spin.
