Thanks, Bryn and Ollie. I've ordered the Naxos Csardas and the Bartok field recordings and look forward to hearing them and reporting back. (Also thought I'd give Seth Lakeman's new CD a whirl. We shall see).

I think it's going to be Gerhard's first symphony tonight. I had a first dip into his symphonies earlier on today, courtesy of Mr Ron Dough to whom many thanks, and I hope he'll be joining us when he has the chance. Really quite interesting music.

Me too, Bryn. Wife not pleased, boozy night. Is that you scratched up on your new avatar, Bryn? |

Indeed, Flay. If you really want to see more of that sort of depravity, check out Luke Fowler's film "Pilgrimage from Scattered Points" if you ever get the chance, or Hanne Boenisch's "Journey to the North Pole", come to that. Both Googlable. |

Philip Glass: Music in Twelve Parts
I'm going to have to tell a friend of mine that the only problem with his new string quartet is that it's by Philip Glass...

Sorry. No idea. When my housemate moved out, I electronically liberated a few of his CDs without making adequate documentation. It's reasonably recent I think... And this person is going to remain a friend, you think?
If I word it in a nice way maybe. There's a loopy moment which suddenly makes everything worthwhile, but I can't tell if it sounds like that because it was notated that way or because the quartet couldn't manage it. It's also got a central chorale that works rather well (and has nothing to do with the 'bread' of the glass sandwich). He's young and eager to learn, so hopefully he'll take it in the right way. |

Tonight it's ... St. John's. Herreweghe's first go-round w/ the piece. I still can't decide which of his two versions I prefer. Both are spectacular.
Gearing up for Lent, I suppose.

Mr Dough isn't likely to be showing up on this thread all that often since his peripatetic plugging of gaps in under-staffed stores means very early mornings - most of the stores I'm covering are around 90 minutes away in all four directions - so this poor old codger is finding himself rather bushed by the time he's done nine hours on his feet plus the three hours' travelling. I have managed to catch up with last night's Rheingold, but I've also had to start rather intensive training, since I've something of a physical challenge coming up in just under three month's time...
Gerhard 1 does sound a very inviting idea, however....

Hang in there Ron. Something tells me there's life in the old dog yet - perhaps the carrot and sweetcorn soup?  |

Re Gerhard Symphonies: I'm finding the Third the most interesting at the moment though. I just found this article about the symphonies which also compares the recordings - have you read it, Ron? http://www.musicweb-international.com/gerhard/index.htmIt looks like a clear enough tourist guide to the symphonies, and comes out with a marked preference for the Bamert recordings over those by Perez. |
