From the hard drive:
Xenakis: Dikthas
What seems to me quite possibly a flawless performance of a work that's new to me, by the fearless duo of Carolin Widmann (violin) and Simon Lepper (piano) in a repeat of a recital from last year's Bath Festival, broadcast earlier this afternoon. Heard it live and had to repeat it immediately, to make sure I'd really experienced such virtuosic playing. Yes I had.

That Pancrace Royer disc is something special, especially Le Vertigo.

Hmmm... a bit of Dikhthas always goes down well around here. It featured in what I would imagine has to be the most intensely ear-opening concert I ever attended, in June 1982: Anaktoria, Ikhoor, Dikhthas, Palimpsest, Embellie, something else I can't remember just now, and Eonta to finish.

must hear that recording of the car' widmann. have a few issues with her brother. just a few. Listening to a CD of rags by Albright at the moment; I think I can safely say he had a much greater (in that it is consistent) mastery of the rag as a genre than Bolcom (though he has a few gems, I will admit).
you had me in stitches just now. are you as funny as this in real life?? |

Britten: Our Hunting Fathers, Op. 8
Pears/LSO/Britten, BBC Studios 11.vi.61: commercial release (mono); BBCB 8014-2
Just had to do this tonight to make up for the removal of the piece from tonight's Prom; the most unbuttoned of all Britten's song cycles, vocally and orchestrally, and for some unaccountable reason, by far the least known.

It gets wackier. Meet the sequel.  http://www.naxos.com/catalogue/item.asp?item_code=8.551260The concerto for 6 timpani and winds is a bit of a highlight. The timpanist also plays xylophone and glockenspiel. Sometimes at the same time (as the timps, not as each other). I'm not saying it's great music but I am saying I've never experienced anything remotely like it. |

That's not incessant promotion! You want incessant promotion, look at all the plugs I gave Hervé Niquet's recording of the Fireworks Music... Oh, and Pescodd Time and La Tavola cromatica and the live Barbirolli Mahler 6 and... |
