Hmm, that looks really interesting Karlo! How would you describe the music? Are you a fan of Scelsi's works?

Playing a lovely recent purchase from the group Doulce Memoire ~

Playing the 4th and final disc in this set:
[asin]B00CJCPOE4[/asin]
Discs 1,2, and 4 are studio recordings; CD 3 is recorded in front of a live audience. . .

Excellent overall!  Really fine playing and interpretations.

This set wasn't in my book at all, and it looks really appealing.

Thanks, Dave!

Yes I am. Scelsi was really like nobody else, though. He was Uitti's "musical mentor, advisor in spiritual practices, and, in the end, a friend", as Uitti writes in the liner notes. The two transcribed some of Scelsi's works for cello, and later they used to have improvisation sessions, together with yoga & meditations (on one note or the OM...). Scelsi's way of communicating music (he didn't think of himself as a composer, but as a  receiver) later in his life was tape recording improvisations on his Ondiola. Sonority and Zen.

Much, if not all, of the album is on Youtube.

You are welcome, Gordo!  I am happy to return the favor in this case, as you have turned me on to so many excellent releases.   

This set is really sweet.  Wind playing is on point, with the bassoon playing standing out to me throughout.

This one is a winner too.

York Bowen Viola Concerto (Lawrence Power, BBC Scottish, Brabbins)

[Todd]

Monteux leading the SFSO in Debussy's Images from the early 50s.  There are other ways to conduct this work, but a lot of those ways aren't as good.

Good morning all. Sunny but quite cold in the Netherlands. A treat this morning. Soon this thread will be chirpy like a forest full of birds, and they will all sing the same tune, what wonderful music and interpretations. Many of you ordered this box.

What a wonderful musician and interpreter of Bach's music, a true pupil to Ewald Kooiman.
