Camphy

Camphy beat me to it a day or two ago. I sometimes feel like Camphy is my musical alter ego on the other side of the planet.

You beat me to it today. I had planned to listen to another disc and your post inspired me to act without further delay:



SQ 13, 14 & 15

What a relief!  ;D

Good day to you, Karlo!
G'day, Rafael!
(it is a ridiculously short CD, though. They could have fitted Canticum Sacrum and A Sermon, A Narrative and A Prayer on the disc as well... or The Flood. Not that one would need to listen to them all at once.)

You mean Canticum Sacrum?

I'd like a new version of Sermon... myself.

Yes, Canticum is what I meant, of course.

Ghost Sonata

Previn VC (I wonder how many of us know Previn's birth name? : Andreas Ludwig Priwin) Some have thought him related to Mahler, but Previn scoffs at the notion!

I like Conor71's "I  like old Music" signature.

I liked this work; it had a certain mystical quality to it I thought.
