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

Heads up, Feldman fans!

I can say I'm mostly interested in Rothko Chapel, but the John Cage work, In A Landscape, is beautiful.

Recorded at my old stomping grounds at Rice, a concert hall where I've seen dozens of concerts. Judith Sherman might be the best sound engineer on earth.

Too bad they couldn't record Rothko Chapel IN Rothko Chapel, which is only about 1.5 miles away.

Scriabin with Petrenko!

Some upcoming Channel Classics recordings that might be of interest:

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.

Very good observation, indeed.

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



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

It's a very exciting news.

If these are three completely new recordings, the contribution of Staier to Schumann's repertory will be really significant: several disks devoted to the solo piano works, the piano concerto, the violin sonatas. 

Could you provide a link to this new release?

Thanks in advance!

It is apparently merely a bundling together of the three Schumann CDs already issued. HM is doing a series of these with several artists including Fretwork, Akademie fur Alte Musik, and the Jerusalem Quartet.

Scriabin with Petrenko!

Excellent! Always love to hear a new recording of The Divine Poem. One of my favorites.

Very nice, Brian.

Now, this is disappointing, as I have all his previous disks.

I had the same thought. Might not be acoustically viable, though.

Ooooooh!

Announced for early October:

[asin]B0145YQEP6[/asin]

"Bruno Maderna's Requiem was long considered lost and was indeed only premiered in the Teatro la Fenice in Venice in November 2009 about 36 years after his death. In 1943, Maderna was called up for military service and fought as a partisan against Italy's erstwhile allies, the Germans. He was taken prisoner by the SS, who interrogated him in Dachau and released him shortly afterwards. 'At that moment, it was the only possibility to write a requiem and then to die', Maderna said later. The Requiem suggests an intensive study of the models in the genre, e.g. those by Giuseppe Verdi and Hector Berlioz. At the same time, as a 'War Requiem' the work is a pacifist manifesto."

Anyone for theremin sonatas?



I feel seasick thinking about it......
