Quote from: foxandpeng on May 24, 2025, 10:48:46 AMUnknown to me - worth a recommendation, I assume?

Christopher Fox is a composer the establishment avant garde take seriously -- he has a festschrift and such like. I like his music very much.

On my list, then! Thank you 😊

Do we need another recording of French lollipops on a Dutch harpsichord? In all fairness, it sounds very nice, but it's a competitive field.


Only SACD it seems.

This also may or may not be of interest -- two Bach trio sonatas for guitar and harpsichord.

Yes indeed, Konrad Ragossnig was a very good musician.

It's his orchestration of his String Quartet No. 2. 


(Answer is yes, of course).

Thank you. I was very taken with the opening of the symphony on You Tube and have ordered it  :)

Just discovered this - released in February this year




It would be difficult to think of an instrument in the United Kingdom today better suited to William Byrd's music than the St Telio organ in the vicinity of Cardiff, Wales. Built by the English organ builders Martin Goetze and Dominic Gwynn in 2001, this chamber instrument is based on a remarkable discovery - a soundboard unearthed in 1977 in Suffolk. Its pipes are constructed on the only pipes surviving from the mediaeval West Country tradition from John Loosemore's 1665 organ for Nettlecombe Court. The extremely narrow scaling produ- ces a sound which is surprisingly rich with a somewhat sibilant trait. It works with hand-ope- rated bellows. This gives rise to very subtle surges and dips in volume and sound pressure as well as the occasional rattle and creak, adding an extra layer of authenticity.

Found a bunch of listings online but no track listing yet sadly.
If you are interested in listening to orchestrations of solo/chamber music, you might be interested in this thread.
Also looking for recommendations on neglected conductors thread.

Quote from: Brian on April 04, 2025, 06:02:21 AMand finally, the biggest release of the month by star power:



Kozena is excellent here, obviously. Someone I know confidently asserted that Uchida plays lots of wrong notes, but it doesn't seem to get in the way.

I'm not sure if this one has been mentioned yet, but this is coming out in late July:



More recordings of Ginastera three SQs is always a good thing.

Some other upcoming releases:

That's an excellent production, well worth a listen.  Good to see it reissued. :)
