Well, the Barenboim Mahler Ninth arrived in the post just now. I ordered it via Amazon Marketplace. Very appropriately, it was sent from Argentina. There was no customs declaration on the package, and it got here in less than a week.  |

I'm all for a duff night at the Proms:  That really would make my head spin. Hi, Aleee! You on holiday this week? I've got Beethoven's Creatures of Prometheus on at the moment. |

Alison, the Barenboim Mahler 9 did not arrive on the door mat alone. It was accompanied by Koechlin's Opera 198, 199 and 200. I blame RB for putting the idea of ordering them into my head.
Thanks Richard, so far, so good.

Sure am looking forward to six weeks off, Aleeeee. They'll go very well with the week and a half I've had off already.  Someone interrupted me with a long phone call during the Bruckner tonight, which was very frustrating, but it was a call I couldn't just fob off. |

Oh great. It's one of those pieces that you listen and think you have a grip on what it's doing, but then you look at the score and think  |

I've been listening to a cd of piano music by Moises Moleiro today...I quite liked the more classical stuff on it...actually getting pangs to start listening to Mozart again (for the first time in something like five years).  |

A disc of music of Günter Bialas that arrived this morning, of his works from the 1980s. Somewhat mixed, but his String Quartet No. 4, Assonanzen is a really captivating and moving piece. In a relatively conventional idiom (post-Schoenberg, post-Bartók), but so impassioned and heartfelt, very very personalised music. Anyone else know Bialas's work?

Well, I'm not going to ask anything about the playing (that's other people's business), but I'd love to know what you think of Prime Site, which for me is the most strikingly original (and also a little disturbing) piece on the disc?
