Sinfonia da Requiem conducted by Celibidache...not a big Britten fan, but this is an interesting and incredibly tight performance.

I submit myself to a regular diet of Henry Threadgill. Anyone else think this is extremely under-rated?
Oh yes. Do you have favorite albums? (I thought he might appeal to you!) The 'Song out of my Trees' has been a recent favorite. Especially the track entitled 'Grief'. I think a large Threadgill transcription project is in order, seeing as how scores are hard to come by. |

Hope you have some sort of break between those rather different 'courses', Biroc!

I did Ian, difficult to rip through all 3 minus the odd fermata...! Might have a listen to the Busoni Violin Concerto later...or Geoff Poole's piece from Hear and Now last night that I missed... |

Hi Roslynmuse - my knowledge of Bridge is sketchy at best but notice they are doing at the proms 'There is a willow aslant a brook' which i remembered as very interesting tone poem and makes me want to discover more..

AGAIN.
Snap! Damn. That slow movement. Those cellos. I have a feeling they might have been the first of the Stuttgart string sections to have come aboard with the non-vibrato thing. Wonderful the way the occasional harmonics blend into the line. |

DSCH 8th. First Wigglesworth, then Previn. Two extremes when it comes to the tempo of the Allegro non troppo. I don't think Previn read beyond the first word, and Wigglesworth seems to have overdone the "non toppo" rather. Both interesting in their very different ways though. Now were have those Rostropovich and Jansons sets got to?

Next volume of Bridge (vol 6) - songs and short occasional orchestral works. Attractive enough but nothing particularly earth-shattering. The Tagore settings are the most interesting, closely followed by Rupert Brooke, Blow Out, You Bugles.
Then a Concertgebouw Live performance of Schoenberg Piano Concerto - visceral stuff! I'll be returning to that...

What's that then Bryn? That site says "Live (2006)" which I find hard to believe as a recording date. Is it a single concert or tour, or a collection of diverse outtakes?

You should have read on, Richard. 2006 was the year of release. The recordings, all produced and tweaked by FVZ, were made 'live' in 1972, the 'Petit Wazoo' band, no less.
"These titles are from a collection of live performances (1972) selected and mixed by FZ between 1972 and 1977".
