"James Erber has indeed written many beautiful pieces. A case for NMC, I would think."
Or Metier, who released Romano's recital. This might be like waiting for the buses, etc.
This evening I've been playing Tosiya Suzuki's Recorder recital. Oh, and some songs.

oliver I haven't figured out how to reply to a specific message in a long thread - so you'll have to bear with me. Re your Telemann flute and recorder concerto - is that the E minor one. I've several performances of that - including one I very recently picked up for £3 in HMV - Archiv 449841-2 with Musica Antiqua Koln. It may still be available at that price. (The details of the CD are here - http://www.cdiscount.com/musique-cd-dvd/cd-classique/fete-baroque-vol-02-musica/f-1011504-0028944984125.html) That's excellent, and there's a twist at the end I wasn't expecting. However I do have a favourite for that one which I have on a 45 rpm disc - and I can't remember who was playing. I think it was on Archive, but obviously it's around 30 years old or more now, and I don't know if it made it to CD. It was really lovely, and if not available now I will have to find a way of playing it and transferring to CD myself. |

I have the MAK disc (in fact here in Köln that abbreviation is more often used for the Museum für Angewandte Kunst but never mind) - it's one of my constant companions (especially in the mornings when my brain needs a dose of order and energy to get me on my way) and is wonderful from start to finish. It's a pretty well-known piece so I'm not surprised there are recordings dating back a fair while - if you find out who was playing it on your 45rpm let me know. I have a wonderful memory of the first time I heard that concerto - it was with one of the Melbourne baroque ensembles, I've forgotten how many years ago. They played it in the chapel of Xavier College one (Sunday?) afternoon and just as the slow movement (E major with lovely pizzicato accompaniment after all that E minor) started up the sun dipped below the top of the window bathing the recorder player http://www.genevievelacey.com/ in warm (autumn?) sunlight. I melted somewhat. Good thing I wasn't standing up or I would have fallen over. |

I have to admit an appalling ignorance.
I've seen some of you insert hyperlinks so that the web address isn't visible. I would have liked to do that last post so that the link was contained in the words 'recorder player' rather than being visible. How should I have done that? Can anyone out there help me?

dave, just use the "quote" button (above and to the right of the message you want to reply to). Edit out any of the quote you don't feel you need, and then type your reply below the quote, and send. |

I have meanwhile rectified my appalling ignorance.  I feel a bit guilty that I've been doing it while this has been spinning...  |

Karin Hausßmann on Wergo, w/ the Thürmschen Ensemble, musikFabrik (Oliver ... were you mF'ing by the point this disc was made? the liner notes don't list individual performer names), etc. A bit 'new music-y', but ... lovely. "James Erber has indeed written many beautiful pieces. A case for NMC, I would think."
Or Metier, who released Romano's recital. This might be like waiting for the buses, etc.
I was under the impression Metier was no longer in existence ...? |

Tantris mentions Loriod's first version of the Catalogue - was there a complete one before the one that's in the Erato (now Warner) box or was that the recording of four of the pieces from 1959?
Yvonne Loriod did record the Catalogue twice, I think. The first was in 1959, on the Ades label, and it might be in mono. These LPs occasionally appear on ebay at $200 - 300 for the set - hence my interest in a release on CD. She then recorded this a second time in 1970 for Erato. I'd really like to hear the first recording, partly because it was made so close to the work being written, and partly because her interpretation is so different from anyone else's that it would be interesting to hear how she first approached it (at a time when she was recording much other music of the time). There's an (incomplete) discography here. Amongst others, it doesn't mention Robert Sherlaw-Johnson, for example. It does however mention a pianist I know nothing about - Jocy de Oliveira-Carvalho - does anyone know anything about her? |

Aaron - If you say so. I do recall a similar thread on the 'other place' where this came up. Some said that it ws gone, others weren't sure.
Their webpage hasn't been updated in ages and nothing has been said about it.

Metier will not be continuing in the same capacity as before. However, the catalogue will probably be taken up by another label - the details are not yet finalised so as to be officially announced.

Thanks, IP. I remembered you saying something similar, but couldn't quite remember the details. I sincerely hope it all works out (particularly given the rather massive back catalog that David LeF amassed over the years. I hope some of those recordings find their way to my shelf eventually!

Now spinning?
Neeme Jarvi's RSNO recording of Dvorak's Third Symphony. For some reason I put off buying this set (having already grabbed the Kubelik and Kertesz sets), but now I'm wondering why!
Next up: I might give Toch's Second Symphony a whirl (this is a set that's new to me....I've only heard the first and fourth so far - interesting stuff but yet to grab me really).
