Topic: What are you listening to?

[Jezetha]

Reading fast produced this: Concerto for Calvary, Kavakos ands Vänskä.  I realized  my mistake when I saw it quoted later...

It was Calvary for Harry's CD... 

[Christo]

Inspired by I think, Brian earlier in this thread, another try with John Antill, Corroboree (1946).

                   

In short: I find it basically the REMIX (*Extended Version*) of Mexican composer, Silvestre Revueltas' more spectacular (and concise) Sensemayá from 1938. I wonder if Antill knew that piece?

[Maciek]

Is it just me or is that a silly cover?

You know, I typed "Jean Cras" into the eMusic search engine, and here's what I got:

Is it just me or is that a silly cover?

It's just you.

[Maciek]

I thought so. It's much worse than silly, isn't it?

Listening to the first movement of "Corroboree" I get a VERY strong Revueltas vibe. Critics like Hurwitz, Gramophone and some of the Aussie newspapers heard Stravinsky rather than Revueltas, did some inquiries, and found out that Antill had not even heard the Rite of Spring when he wrote "Corroboree". So I doubt very much that he'd heard Sensemayá...

Mahler Symphony # 10 in the new version by Samale/Mazzucca  Arnhem Philharmonic Orchestra Martin Sieghart conductor. Recording of the first performance 2002. I am not sure about this version, nothing much new really and the extra percussion in the Adagio is not necessary at all.

Cras rules! At least in that beautifully put together Timpani set. I agree with the assessment that the Jeux Ämes d'enfants is simply adorable: this is one of those collections that etch in some remote and privileged corner of the musical memory.

NB: don't overlook his scrumptious piano concerto, also included in the Timpani set (Cras was a good soloist, and his is worth anybody's money).

Duly noted.
