What are you listening to now?

[Karl Henning]

First day of the year==First listen to these works

A. Schoenberg:
String Quartets 1 and 2
LaSalle Quartet (with Margaret Price, soprano)

(Yes, I've never actually heard these before).

Hey! How do you like 'em?

[springrite]

That, and touting a piece composed in 1974 as 21^st-century music

You can't expect everyone to use the same calendar, can you?


Now:
Brian Jolly Miller Overture!

Oh, I need to look through James' posts to find this...on second thought, I'll just take your word for it.

An irrational enthusiasm brooks no merely earthly calendar!

The melodies were originally composed in 1974 for music boxes, but these works for orchestra were composed in 2004 & 2007. In fact, the second set of orchestral works from 2007 were the ones he finished on the night prior to his death.

And I'm sure they display what a brilliant mind he had or so you say.

So far so good.  But mind you,  I have a much better time with early Arnie than I do with later Arnie.  The true test will come on the next CD, with SQs 3 and 4.
