Just put on the Singcirlce CD of KS's "Stimmung". Sorry, but every time I hear the work, I am immediately put in mind of John White's "Jew's Harp Machine".

Do you know the Jew's Harp concerto by Albrechtsberger?! |

Well done Bryn. That was some gap in your collection.
Orchestral Wagner LPO/Tennstedt.
Live at Suntory Hall, Tokyo. 18 October 1988.
New DvD. So pleased this recording was made. Sensational.

Perhaps needless to say, Alison, I did not pay anything like the Amazon price, nor indeed the lowest now shown in the Amazon Marketplace. I thought that at Ł7.21 including p&p it was worth a try, though. It's not the same forces as my old LP, however.

Enjoy, Bryn.
I am now listening to the B-flat piano concerto of Sir Arthur Bliss, played by one "Solomon" with the Liverpudlian Philharmonic Orchestra under Sir Adrian Boult. Very knightly!

Ah well, I've just ordered this.I suppose that someone with nothing better to do will eventually post the question as to how many Jews have written harp concerti before too long, so I thought I'd do it now and get it out of the way once and for all... Best, Alistair |

Enjoy, Bryn.
Thanks, CD. Unfortunately that will not now be possible in the near future. The suppliers from whom I ordered the disc have just e-mailed me to announce that they are unable to complete the order and have instructed Amazon to organise a refund to my credit card.  |

One of the less frequently-performed composers ?!? The men try to kill him, but he will not die: only when the girl satisfies his desire do his wounds begin to bleed and he dies. It perhaps says something about the introspective Bartók that he found the plot “beautiful” Those introspective people are so wicked ... |

Hey, t_i_n, I was not seeking to promote the dire blurb. The performances are fine. However, they got the order wrong, too. The concert starts with the Dance Suite, then progresses with the First Violin Concerto, the Viola Concerto, and finally the Miraculous Mandarin.

Don't worry, Bryn, I wasn't blaming you!
I don't really believe in the First Violin Concerto. I think it should be called "Violin Concerto No. 0", and the so-called Second should be called simply "Violin Concerto".

Does that betray a preference for Portraiture on you part, perhaps, t_i_n? |
