Dis 3: The "Serioso" and Op. 131

I didn't enjoy the first two discs of this first volume, but it was probably because I was a bit "contamined" by some unconscious comparative listening with the Alexander String Quartet (1st recording), the last complete that I had heard. But from disc 4 - heard before disc 3 - I have started to listen to this new set on its own terms and I'm enjoying the superb technical skills of Belcea and her partners.

Boulez conducts the Complete Webern. I was checking it out on Spotify for the Emerson Quartet disc, but am listening to as much as I can of the rest. Very interesting, and not in a bad way. But will I really listen to anything but the Emersons?

Having some friends over for brunch, so five "baroques" in the tray on this Sunday morning:

Hi Brian & Bill - now I have the 2 CDs above w/ Oleskiewicz on the Flute Sonatas, BUT the one w/ Flute Quartets has been on my 'want list' for several years at least - just checked Amazon and a 'new' one is being offered for $120 (plus, $4 for S/H - OUCH the latter is a deal breaker for me - ) - I do have one other CD of the Flute Sonatas on Naxos (w/ Verena Fischer on the flute), and 1 disc of Flute Concertos w/ Rachel Brown (Hyperion) - MUST revisited this 'windy' composer - and will check on Brian's news - thanks, Dave

Hey Dave and Brian, just landed the Quantz Sonatas.  Wonderful, of course.



Not a lot of copies left.  I fear it will dry up like the quartets cd.
