Maderna's 1st Oboe concerto - very enjoyable, can't wait to get onto his 2nd and 3rd.
xyzzzz__: is that the Holliger disc on Philips? If so could you maybe at some point have a careful check of the programme notes while listening? I have a feeling that on my copy at least two of the concertos are the wrong way round... They play in reverse? |

I actually reversed Wotan's Farewell once just for fun. Works surprisingly well although some of those harmonic progressions are definitely one-way streets. A lot of it sounds Finnish for some reason I seem to remember. Although not so much the new ending which you'll already have imagined for yourself perhaps... Lov behl Lov behl Lov behl  |

(no pussyfooting) - Robert Fripp & Brian Eno I bought it originally on vinyl - great cover pix involving multiple mirrors:  and I got it on CD from the library today, with a few extra tracks. |

But a big musical discovery of my teens was my first play of Brendel's LP with the D899 Impromptus (Philips 6500 415 - still on my shelves). Unbeknown to me the record deck was set at 45rpm. At this speed the G flat impromptu becomes a dead ringer for Chopin  (Can't work out how Chopin managed to twig this though...  ) |

Unbeknown to me the record deck was set at 45rpm. My mum used to have that problem with my dad's record of Joy Division's 'Love Will Tear Us Apart', which for some reason was recorded at 33rpm despite being a 7" single. On the other hand Ian Curtis sings so slowly you could be forgiven for not realising ... |

Very like that - although if I'm not mistaken that's the end of Götterdämmerung, no?

Ripped the wrong track in my haste, Ollie. One bit of Wagner's much like any other to me. |

I think you'll find the harp and piccolo stuff from the end of Die Walküre really quite special turned around.
(It's actually one of my favourite pieces forwards as well.)

Stravinsky Canticum Sacrum
love the wobbly organ sound and the goat-like tenor! (from the 22 CD set, of course)
Am not experiencing any RSB-like problems with IS's instantly recognisable brand of serialism...

Messiaen. Turangalîla-Symphonie. The Rosbaud recording. (Baden-Baden 1951.) There's nothing like it. 
What did Stravinsky call the piece again? A gigantic French pastry in the middle of which sits Massenet, or something like that? |

haha I ws just reading the Mahler-Kurtag prom thread earlier today and thinking that I should listen to that Messiaen recording tonight.
"xyzzzz__: is that the Holliger disc on Philips? If so could you maybe at some point have a careful check of the programme notes while listening? I have a feeling that on my copy at least two of the concertos are the wrong way round..."
They're mp3s :-)
