One of the best vocal discs I bought this year. Alternative Binchois. Recommended.

Interesting. Will have to investigate. Meanwhile, here is a composer known more for ballet than opera/operetta, but very enjoyable. Sumi Jo is outstanding here.

Bach's organ works sound so awfully good on the new baby in my home!

I have been listening to a lot of late Beethoven quartets lately and hesitate to report yet another one but the Busch Quartet box is honestly really great and everyone should check it out.

Op. 131 at the moment

[San Antone]

Pierre Boulez Conducts Schoenberg



Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night), Op. 4, string sextet



Verklärte Nacht was controversial at its 1902 premiere. This was due to the highly advanced harmonic idiom, although Schoenberg did receive praise for his inventiveness.  The work does employ a richly chromatic language and often ventures far from the home key, though the work is clearly rooted in D minor. A particular point of controversy was the use of a single 'nonexistent' (that is, uncategorized and therefore unpermitted) inverted ninth chord, which resulted in its rejection by the Vienna Music Society. Schoenberg remarked "and thus (the work) cannot be performed since one cannot perform that which does not exist".

Now Op. 132.

Probably the first really slow Heiliger Dankgesang committed to record and definitely a good one. I'd take it in preference to QI or Guarneris. Also, still (as far as I can tell) the fastest performance of the finale ever.

[Madiel]

This evening...

Holmboe, Primavera.

One of the Beethoven works I really enjoy, the String Quintet op.29

First listen to Dvorak's Te Deum. Surprisingly noisy at times!
