Quiz: Mystery scores

[lukeottevanger]

I'm busy perfecting a very big first novel, of which parts were published in 2000 already (in a literary magazine). I began writing it in 1996, so it has to fascinate me too, otherwise I couldn't have kept it up for so long... 

Keep us posted! Any clues as to content, or is that under wraps?

The Tippett recording is on Virgin - I think it's the only one. The Marriner with the Academy of St Martin's in the Fields is from the early 1980s. I fell in love with immediately. It's a magical piece.

Ah, well I have a Tippett recording on EMI, so that may be a different reading. Scottish Chamber Orch, c.w. Concerto for Double String Orchestra (also an excellent reading) and (strange coupling, but great piece) the Songs for Dov.

I've just checked - they are the same reading it seems, same couplings too.

Yes, you're right.

Regarding the novel - it would take me too long to tell you about it. Suffice it to say it is a very ambitious work, mixing religion and politics, which The Netherlands will have to come to grips with, when I have finished it (the novel) and have finished with it (The Netherlands)...

Hello!

An absent friend and an absent thread in one go!

[Maciek]

I wasn't "absent". Just not around.

Hello?

Hello? I think you dialed the wrong number.....

oh wait, you sound like Maciek! Hey, there!

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

Hello?

Hello!

[greg]

Hello!

Hey, give me back my phone!

[Maciek]

Whoever would think it takes so little to bring life back to a dead thread?

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

Hey, give me back my phone!

Will you please hang up! I'm having a conversation here.

"Hello, Maciek! Wonderful avatar!"

[Maciek]

Thanks, Johan! Actually, the photo is almost a year old but I thought I'd save it for Easter - it just seemed so perfect!

Not dead, merely resting.

This, however, isn't a real resuscitation until someone has some scores to give or guess!

[Maciek]

I disagree, I think the social element over here was always at least as important as the scores.



There, now we can start our traditional flame war...
