Interestingly, I didn't find it that alluring. Sounded somewhat mechanical to me.

Listened to this in full today. This isn't a terribly interesting CD and what I had written previously still applies; Suite hétéroclite (1954-55) and Visage I (1956) are listenable, but the rest is either too mechanical or merely is momentarily passable. This is not the work of someone with an ear for sonority and contour.

Of course, NOW I want to hear how 'bad' it is, haha! ;D

Nah, I want the Mode CD!

Just got the Bussotti today :). It took a while to track an "as new" copy that didn't go for extortionate prices.

Where/How did you get it? Haha,... good work!

I actually find myself putting this cd on quite frequently. I can hear differences throughout the decades. I especially like the Sonatina Gioacchina (which says '5mins.' on the cd, but is actually @15mins.), which is pretty friendly, not that the rest of the program isn't pretty hot. The short Petit bis, also, has some fingers on the strings stuff that's cool.

The score for Pour Clavier is pretty unbelievable, no? I'm finding that I have a weakness for these looong Avant piano pieces. Just the sound of the piano being Avant-ed makes me happy, haha!
