From now on every album cover should be a tiny picture of the composer with a guy staring at it.

nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.
His only competition was with himself. — Françoise Gilot

It would be a nice follow-up..
But does anyone know if Brazilian DVDs will play on US or European DVD players without a problem?


Sorry for the illegibility: that's the only image on Amazon.

The Amazon seller finally replied to my query. The DVD is Region O; the included CD contains inter alia the scores in PDF.

Still mulling over whether I want to get it.

I know Florian Deuter's Bach - the tone he makes is quite distinctive, not for me. Nevertheless there is some unusual  music on this thing which makes me want to check it out


QuoteWhile today it is easy to listen to almost any piece at any time and in almost any place, before the invention of recordings it was quite complicated: you had to go to a concert or to the opera or you played yourself. In the emerging bourgeoisie, arrangements of the most popular works in instrumentations suitable for chamber music were popular and, of course, Mozart's famous operas were at the top of the popularity scale.
In many places, publishers set about transcribing Mozart's works for small and very small ensembles.

The two violinists Florian Deuter and Mónica Waisman have found a whole series of such contemporary arrangements of Mozart's operas and piano sonatas in "pocket format" for violin duo, which bring the well-known melodies into the new form with much wit and finesse.

In the process, the listener can grin and observe the reduction of the full sound and delve into delightful details of house music around 1800.

At last a recording of Raff's Fifth String Quartet in C major:
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.

Very much to me. Thanks a lot!

Nice! And it's great to have a new recording of the delightful SQ No. 7, of course!

I just bought the last of the BIS series of Schnittke CDs I was missing. So you can expect a box set announcement for them any moment now  :laugh:

Absolutely, a most welcome release overall.

And once you buy that box set, you can expect an announcement of the anniversary remaster box set with a recently discovered one minute premiere of something. :P

Isn't that the truth? This is why I'm hesitant to start collecting a series, because I'm weary that a box set is just around the corner. But I think you'll be safe with this Schnittke purchase since no one really pays much attention to this composer, unfortunately.

Indeed they are! Thanks Cesar.

I was at that Uchida concert. It was OK.

I think the Armida Mozart series is excellent, well worth hearing.

Ensemble Musikfrabrik have done some amazing things, they have a really impressive discography, which I've hardly explored. I'm going to use this new release as a spur to do so!

Tidying up some more stuff for JULY that hasn't been posted yet.





Chandos has been obsessively doing complete cycles of all the core repertoire, and now they've arrived at Haydn piano trios. A couple interesting notes on this one:



For this survey of the complete Haydn Trios, pianist Nicholas Rimmer notes: "We have decided to record the trios neither chronologically nor in the groups in which they were first published. Instead, we have aimed to create an interesting and contrasted 'program' of trios for each volume, so that it can be listened to in a single, satisfying sitting. In addition, we have asked a composer to write a short work inspired by one of the trios from each volume, and we are excited by the contemporary perspectives on Haydn that these composers open up for us. This first album features a work by our good friend, the percussionist and composer Johannes Fischer."

In addition to pianist Nicholas Rimmer, the trio features violinist Jonian Ilias Kadesha and cellist Vashti Mimosa Hunter.

Based on their recording of the Alexander Blok Romances by Shostakovich (which I swear I posted a review of here but maybe I didn't) I'm not sure I'm extremely interested in their Haydn, but I am pretty interested to hear them play contemporary works.
