BTW, I also loved his Schumann and, maybe, a complete Schumann's traversal on period instruments would be even a better idea. After all, Schubert is very well served on PI (Bilson, Badura-Skoda, Vermeulen). 

I remembered this post when I saw this rummaging through amazon.de:



Expected release date of this 3-disc set is October 23rd.

Harpsichord Recital: Lewis, Christopher D. - POULENC, F. / FRANÇAIX, J. / MARTINŮ, B. / DUREY, L. (20th Century Harpsichord Music)

One of the pioneers of the 20th-century resurrection of interest in the harpsichord was the great virtuoso Wanda Landowska who assisted in the development of a harpsichord built by Pleyel of Paris. Performing on a 1930s Pleyel harpsichord, Christopher Lewis has chosen a programme of 20th-century works by French or French-based composers. Poulenc's colourful Suite française is followed by Françaix's exciting and previously unrecorded Deux Pièces. Martinů's lyricism and intensity of expression can be heard in the Sonata and other pieces while Louis Durey's piquant Dix Inventions is both a homage to Bach's Two-Part Inventions and a work whose compositional technique is firmly rooted in the modern era.

Recorded at the residence of Tom Perkins, Belvedere, CA

Note from Brian:
For those who don't know, Tom Perkins is an 80-something venture capitalist who co-founded the firm Kleiner Perkins. His ex-wife is romance novelist Danielle Steel, he served on the boards of News Corp. and HP, and the home where Naxos recorded this disc is 10,000 square feet. The cover photo is of Perkins' harpsichord, and he helped pay for the CD.

Max Richter's new music. Sleep is 8hours, From Sleep is the 1 hour version.Description from Amazon...

Acclaimed Brit1sh composer Max Richter has written a new landmark recording: SLEEP is 8 hours long the equivalent of a nights rest and is actually and genuinely intended to send the listener to sleep. Its an eight-hour lullaby, says its composer, Max Richter.
The ground-breaking new work is scored for piano, strings, electronics and vocals but no words. Its my personal lullaby for a frenetic world, he says. A manifesto for a slower pace of existence.





Join Max and the world in a sleepathon!

Perkins helped create much of Silicon Valley. He's in an interesting movie, Something Ventured.

Max Richter's new music. Sleep is 8hours, From Sleep is the 1 hour Version.

Shouldn't it in that case be called Nap?

I understand that romance novelists grow a bit cagey after a short while, ever fantasizing for something better still . . . .

And the 30 minute version is called Cat Nap.

Release on the 8th of September 2015!

At a time of gathering momentum, ALPHA is rereleasing 14 seminal BAROQUE recordings.

This series brings together the finest Baroque recordings from the Alpha and ZZT catalogues: discs singled out for honours, emblematic artists of music from that period, recordings that marked the discography...

This is also the occasion to discover or rediscover universally known works as well as world premiere recordings of rarities.

In the framework of these rereleases, the performers have been interviewed and bear witness to their view of the work and their recording several years later, and their fascinating remarks are taken up in the booklets (all trilingual: French, English, German).

Concerning the presentation of the discs, we have opted for handsome digipacks, the covers illustrated with photographs by great contemporary artists (all at Magnum) with a dominant colour as a guiding line: for this first series, we have chosen the queen of colours, that of the gods, kings, warriors, the devil, life, violence and death... Themes omnipresent in Baroque art!

The Tokyo String Quartet box is of interest of course, as are the Davis Schubert and Sibelius Ormandy (pity he never recorded 3 and 6). When is the last time you saw japanese men so close to one another? This must be a first of sorts.

Looks like Warner/Erato will be releasing a complete edition of Erik Satie in November.

Yep...Presto announces it here, but with no details (except for saying it'ill have 8 CDs). I suppose an expanded, deluxe version with an additional 12 CDs to include Vexations repeated 840 times should be offered as well 

[Mookalafalas]

More Biber. Heard this and it is quite fun.  Savall is going for a big sound here instead of his more intimate approach.
