- Cripes, Ollie, you've been gone a while!
- Yep, since a bit after 7.
- And now it's a bit after midnight. 17 hours then.
- Yes, but 10 hours of that was on trains.
- Sounds like you went somewhere...
- Certainly did.
- Would seem to be an awfully long way to go just for the fun of it... so I presume you also DID something?
- Visited a couple of instrument makers in Bavaria, as it happens.
- Ah. Visited, eh?
- Yep, visited.
- Just visited?
- Well, no, not just visited.
- Did purchases take place?
- Well, yes.
- And might one be so bold as to enquire what they might have been?
- One might, were one moved so to do.- I see. Well, what were they then?



- Oh gawd. You're just going to keep doing this until the money runs out, aren't you?
- Looking like it, isn't it?
- That's not going to be very long either, is it?
- No, not really.
- Oh well. Just as long as you're sure about it.
- Oh, I'm certainly sure about it.
- That's good then.

...

- Hang on, you're sure about what exactly?
- I'm sure I'm out of my proverbial tree.
- Well. At least you're sure.

Tell us something about them, Ollie!

Is the big one a clarinet or are they both chalumeaux? The little one can't be a xaphoon; it must be a soprano chalumeau, or something similar.

The big one is a Baroque clarinet in D after Denner, built by Jochen Seggelke. You can find his website here - clarinettists prepare to drool. The little one is indeed a soprano chalumeau, built by Guntram Wolf - who is probably better known for something at the other end of the scale: the new model of contrabassoon he developed together with Benedikt Eppelsheim.

I've been meaning to tie up a few loose ends I left on the chalumeau thread so I might do that rather than rabbit on here. Fellow anoraks can join me there.

As part of the birthday festivities yesterday the wife abducted me, took me to a record store outside of Boston I've been meaning to get to, and wouldn't let me leave without spending a significant amount of money.  the result was the following:





... all for less than what you folks would call 40 pounds.

Finding that Grisey sitting on the shelf of an American record shop is, I would think, akin to seeing the Loch Ness Monster; seeing it for $14, new, is akin to seeing the Loch Ness Monster with the Yeti riding it like a bull, swinging a lasso and screaming Yeeeeeeeeehaw.  Which is basically what I did when I saw it.  And I don't even like Grisey that much.

Ah yes, that reminds me, there's another CD I've managed to lose. Although this one was submerged in a pile on my desk some time last autumn, and has oddly refused to re-emerge since, even despite a number of 'desk tidying' missions; its disappearance therefore predates both that of t_i_n's entire stock of Holloway CDs (which have now re-emerged, en masse, as advertised on the 'Where is it?' thread) and of Benedict Mason's Lighthouses of England and Wales (which is still M.i.A.).

As part of the birthday festivities yesterday ...
Oh, that sounds like it calls for a slightly tardy 'Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to E-vannnnnn,' ... and a coda of Stravinskian serial rotations with duodecaseptimal number symbolism! Wink

Going off topic, then, I bought one of those electronic gadgets that tells you whether a note is in tune or not. I know they've been around for quite some time now but it's my latest toy.

Complete Mahler Symphonies - Rattle - CBSO

I know many of you will complain that his Mahler isn't quite the best, but at £32 for the full 14 CDs I didn't think I could go wrong.  Smiley

I've decided to investigate the symphonies of the much-married and near-forgotten Richard Arnell, who will be 90 in a few weeks' time. Some are talking of these in glowing terms. Of his work I know only the Beecham recording of Punch and the Child and a number of the later songs, which I have accompanied. Therefore looking forward to the arrival of the CD of Symphs 4 & 5.

There is much variability in the quality of Brilliant Classics issues, in my experiance. However, just have a look through the listing for the new Beethoven complete works set(s) and you will see that the majority are licenced form the big boys. Those sets, especially the one with the 15 extra CDs of 'historical' recordings, are out and out bargains. The "Russian Legends" set is of highly variable recording quality, but here it's the quality of the live performances that are the centre of attention.
