This from Lower Marsh on Wednesday for £20 (not from Gramex but the market stall on the other side of the street):  And this for a fiver:  |

As Alan Sugar may have said with rare generosity, "A good deal, opi" and I'm sure he would have endorsed your enthusiasm for posting at 05.00 hrs, too!
Tell me, do you know if the market stall, opposite, but further down Lower Marsh is still run by Neil? He used to assist Roger Hewland at Gramex but set-up, on his own, in the early 90s. Just wondering whether he stayed the course?

Oops.
Oh, that is one of my favourite pieces, especially the last movement. Or... you didn't buy the instrument did you? |

No... although I would dearly love to have one and figure out how to play it... you don't know anyone who's selling one, do you? It's on the long-term shopping list, along with a late-classical/romantic-era violin, a transitional bow, another twig, a good modern bow, etc. I think I should start playing the lotto.
No, I just received my order of the facsimile of the set, and that's the only image I found of the music. Can't wait to get stuck in at some point.

I'm also especially fond of the violin/viola piece (is it the only use of that pairing before Mozart?). Interesting to see the enormous stave Biber uses for the viola d'amore - that certainly solves the problem of leger lines in both directions. I was told by a player that one of the major difficulties of playing the instrument, apart from having all those strings so close together, is that the long and heavy pegbox makes it stressful to hold up for long periods. |

It's the only one I know of. There's a set of Telemann quartets for flute, violin, viola and bc, and there may or may not be some small works by Schmelzer for violin, viola (although it's not clear from catalogues if they really mean viola da gamba - and of course there's quite a lot for violin and gamba) and bc, but I can't think of anything else. I love how equal the parts are. Apparently when Harmonia Artificioso was first published the first and second violin parts got swapped part way through the printing. |

Not seen them mentioned here yet but there are two big boxes of Messiaen due out next month. A 32 CD set on DG (4801333), and a 17 CD set on EMI (2174662). Both sets are mainly (overwhelmingly so) re-issues, but there are some items in each with appear to be new to CD, and EMI have remastered their recordings of Messiaen playing his own organ works. Those of us who are Messiaen enthusiasts will already have nearly all that is in the sets, but those so far without might be tempted. More info on the DG set here, and on the EMI set here. |

Bryn, thanks for this info. Among the interesting things in the DG box I'm intrigued by the songs... I wonder who they have doing Chants de Terre et de Ciel, the voice and piano version of the Poèmes pour Mi and Harawi? (I can't recall any recordings of these on any of the Universal music labels...perhaps I'm just being dense).
It will be very good to have remastered versions of the OM recordings of organ music on the EMI set.

I couldn't resist the following this weekend in HMV:     Two of the items were in their sale, whilst the last was bought with vouchers. Despite criticisms I've read elsewhere, I like Bostridge's voice. I enjoyed his performances in Death in Venice and look forward to hearing this. From the enthusiastic advocacy of Ron, amongst others, the DVD should also be a treat. I've just listened to the Brautigam Waldstein (my favourite Beethoven sonata) and it's played with plenty of elan. I've been collecting this BIS series with interest as I enjoy Brautigam's approach and the instruments he uses, which don't sound at all anaemic. |
