Rescheduled, and under way . . . .

[Franco]

Wonderful - count me in.

[karlhenning]

I was relying on you, mon ami.

[ChamberNut]

Count me in, once I get my box set in the post!  It will be exciting as it will be a First Listen for me! 

[ChamberNut]

Karl!   Happy 20 K posts !!

Happy to participate in Agon-izing study as much as I can.

Excellent, Ray!  I was relying on you, too, with The Big Box on its way!

Karl!  Happy 20 K posts !!

Merci beaucoups!

I have listened to this piece countless times & love it, but I'm busy bathing in Wagner's glorious music this week.  0:)

Then, it's a bit of luck that the Listening is scheduled for another week, isn't it?

Now I have to go out to look for a recording. Astonishingly, I do not have a single one.

(My ranking in Karl's mind has just nosedived 100 notches...)

Not at all, mon cher!  Few of us can own everything, and here you are, out to recitify this omission  0:)

Must it be a specific recording to follow along?  Because I would follow along and buy Craft's bargain recording but wouldn't be interested enough to spend big bucks on something else.

Not at all; we'll all be listening to sundry recordings, so by all means, fetch in the Craft!

[Dana]

When must we have our homework done by.

[Drasko]

I'd be curious to know which recordings folks have? And esp. to know which ones they listen to most.

How many recordings are there? Apart from several Stravinsky's there are Tilson Thomas, Craft, Mravinsky, Rosbaud and Gielen, nothing else comes to mind readily. Of those I have Stravinsky/LA Festival, Craft/St.Luke's and Mravinsky/Leningrad. Don't have the answer to the second question, haven't listened to piece often enough to have preferred recordings but will give a spin to all three in next few days.

I suppose this work is too recent to have a score available online, hmm? If so, I may have a lead on one to use for this listening, but I'd much rather have an online one!

Definitely still under copyright to Boosey & Hawkes.

Great initiative, Karl!

Purely elective, mon vieux.

It's October 5.

Now it's October 6.
