Thanks R.D.,
Care to suggest which recording I should invest in? I like the sound of what I've heard (only from the film).
Cheers,
SCM

Stuart, This box is great value for money... http://www.mdt.co.uk/MDTSite/product//4756867.htm...composer-led recordings in sound that was way ahead of its time and still sounds excellent. Interesting choice of material, too, with the second disc amounting to a composer's dissection of some of his own works. Ron |

Mine came in something of a bumper bundle by the way, Stuart, as a treat to myself for having survived an emergency Christmas stint in a store in Dundee; the package also included a certain NMC D115 (and DO41s for that matter) plus a clutch of other NMC's before MDT's offer ended. Ironically I survived the Christmas stint too well and now find myself being asked to cover an area bounded by Stirling, Kirkcaldy, Aberdeen and Inverness which has somewhat curtailed my listening time for the moment.
Strange how when you can afford cds you don't have much chance to listen to them......

Marin Marais, La Gamme (London Baroque). Wicked piece.

A friends gave me a CD of 'The Uyghur Musicians' ("music from the Muslim Turkic people of Xinjiang, China" it says - absolutely terrific so far).
On the classical end:
Alessandro Melchiorre - 2nd quartet (on the Arditti off the 'From Italy' disc, this has been the string quartet of choice for the week).
James Dillon - L'Evolution du Vol.
Listening to composers who (mostly) have internet only material (linked from Sequenza 21 blog) and Cecillo Arditto is the pick so far.

Aaron Casody,
I have this Marais piece and love it. Glad we have the same music in our collection.

Khachaturian; Piano Concerto (Joshua Pierce/Berlin Symphony Orch./Paul Freeman) Fanfare (A Hallmark cheapie from 1977) picked up from our local secondhand record shop for a quid. It was one of the first pieces of C20th classical music I got to know: a 10" Classics Club recording arrived at home when I was eight or nine, and it appealed immediately, though I was very perplexed by the changes of metre in the last movement. I bought this for old time's sake, not expecting anything much at all, but it's a cracker of a performance. It's coupled with Prok 3 and Shosty 2, same soloist and conductor but the RTV Orchestra of Slovenia, which isn't sounding at all bad in the Prokofiev.
Quite a good haul for once: the Hickox RVW4, the recent Anima Eterna Ravel disc, two Naxos Walton discs (First Symphony and Choral Music) and the CfP Elgar Starlight Express for under £20. That should deputise for R3 for a spell.....

I'm delighted to say that this recording takes the bull by the horns and uses the flexatone in the slow movement, t-p. I'm aware that it sounds a touch odd, but it's what the composer specifies, and I miss it when it's not there....

my latest ebay purchase! Mozart Exsultate, Regina Coeli(s) and Ergo interest - Kirkby, AAM/Hogwood.
This has a lot of sentimental value for me as it was
a, the first mozart compact disc i ever owned
b, the first mozart disc i ever let somebody borrow
c, the first mozart disc thet was never returned to me....
It's just been re-issued on the Australian Decca budget label, but i got the original L'oiseau Lyre box.
/rubs hands exitedly...

Emil Gillels Beethoven Sonata 14 C# Min; after being seduced by Andras Schiff's lecture, found this on a download service. EG plays the first movement as if he is playing Bach it is wonderful. no lunar beams at all, severe and mortal though.
Now listening to the Liszt fantasy & Fugue on Through the Night, beautiful orchestral sounds but very statuesque unflowing music, beautiful to hear but boring to listen to, the turmoil moment is not convincing.

This http://www.mdt.co.uk/MDTSite/product//ALPHA074.htm (d'Anglebert suites and pieces after Lully played by the wonderful Celine Frisch with the also wonderful Café Zimmermann doing the Lully originals on disc 2. Her recording of the Goldberg Variations is my favourite by a kilometre or two, as are their's of Bach concertos and suites) is a thing of astonishing beauty. and http://www.mdt.co.uk/MDTSite/product//ALPHA080.htm (C.P.E. Bach Gamba sonatas) is fascinating too. And to make up a set of melancholy and Zimmermanns: Bernd Alois Zimmermann, Intercomunicazione for cello & piano (Siegfried Palm recital). |
