Me too! That's a gorgeous work by Butterworth. I think I'll listen to it now. :)

Ionarts-at-Large: David Fray on a Day in D-Minor

1. The contemporaneous grumbling and praise of the presence of Haydn on a concert program, but performed as the first piece, thereby subliminally or overtly suggesting that Haydn is 'nice', but 'not really that important'. When of course he is that important. And more.
+ some Bach & Dvořák

I am feeling increasingly guilty for not knowing a note of Denisov's music. Seemingly half of the multi-composer CDs Gubaidulina is featured on includes at least one of his compositions, and yet I never get around to playing them -_-

Just *how* do you come up with all that silly stuff? I have to admit there is some kind of negative genius shining through your nonsensical contributions sometimes. Are you currently on medication?

It may not be for everyone . . . but I really dig this alternation in this morning's listening between Haydn and Wuorinen . . . .

Has anyone been trying to follow the Gramophone forum lately? It is a pitiful place. The same half dozen always insulting each other in an endless circular pattern....

François Hollande, the new French president got sworn in today in the lounges of the Palais de l'Elysée... to his chosen tune of Air des Sauvages off Les Indes Galantes by Rameau.

Just realized the reason ClassicsToday is such a wasteland is that 90% of the new content is behind a $50/yr paywall. Guess it's time to finally deprogram my brain from wanting to visit that site.

I haven't used that site in years excluding that time I looked up Hurwitz' idiotic HIP wine.  The reviews there are useless to me.

So I had no idea that those fools put up a paywall!  Ha they really think their reviews have that much value!? :D :D

If you have to pay, surely Fanfare beats ClassicsToday?

Is there a practical difference in English language musical terminology between "fantasy" and "fantasia"?

'Fantasia' is Italian and 'fantasy' English, I don't think there's any other difference.

Thanks. I had noticed that often the French and German spellings of the word are sometimes translated into English, but that Italian form seems to come through unchecked.
