Part of the tragedy of the Palestinians is that they have essentially no international support for a good reason: they've no wealth, they've no power, so they've no rights.

Seems to have been postponed until mid-May this year.

This set of course would interest me, but the price of US$ 240 for 44 CDs appears steep, relative to similar sets (particularly considering there'd be a helluva duplication in my collection: all the Stravinsky stuff --in multiple incarnations--, the Webern --recently released in the cheap "white" Sony series, etc). Let's see...

It would be a great box set for Stravinsky and the Second Viennese School indeed, but the price is disheartening to say the least....

The cover art for many of those recordings is a good reason on its own to get the set.

Looking forward to this new recording of Georges Aperghis' 14 Récitations (1977-78) for solo voice, with soprano Stephanie Lamprea. Hearing these a few years ago changed my ideas about vocal music.



From the New Focus Recordings website:

Written in 1977–8, George Aperghis' 14 Récitations are among the most challenging masterpieces of contemporary solo vocal writing. The fact that Aperghis originally wrote them for the French comedian and singer Martine Viard offers a clue to their aesthetic. Each Récitation operates in a similar emotional register to a miniature opera, but with a plot that is unknown and a text that at best teeters on the edge of intelligibility (the texts are in French, but cut up into syllables and jumbled, sometimes using homophones borrowed from other languages). Yet their dramatic form – like that of comedy – exists independently of semantic meaning. Like comedy, too, they subvert and demolish stereotypes.

  If you are not in a hurry, I am confident the price will fall dramatically--perhaps, eventually, by half.
