Begging for dimes Karl?

Does this CD contain the complete Ludus Tonalis, and what do you think of the interpretation?

Yes. Give me a few days and I'll listen to it.

This whole set is marvelously good.

"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it." - Confucius

This is a highly debatable thought. It assumes, I guess, for instance, "the banality of evil".

No surprise here, either:

BACH Cantatas  196 Der Herr denket an uns     198 Laß, Fürstin, laß noch einen Strahl
197 Gott ist unsre Zuversicht     199 Mein Herz schwimmt im Blut
from Teldec's Das Alte Werk series with Harnoncourt and Leonhardt
Switching to foreign language keyboards is great mental exercise for seniors.
In the background, disciples of Brother Stair are prophesying that something dreadful is going to happen and it's All My Fault.  Since it's a repeat broadcast I can ignore it.

This is an expurgated version of the Rochberg btw. For the full version you need to go to Naxos.

Thanks, Ken.  I love that label.  Or is it the island you meant?

Stravinsky's "Agon". I think that I'm getting sick of the "Rite of Spring". "Agon" is becoming my favorite Stravinsky work.

"Agon" is really great. I definitely prefer it over "Rite" Goes well with "JEUX"! It's like a foray from C-major into atonality that brings the listener safely back to C-major.

Now, Ligeti's wonderful M.C. Escher-esque "Chamber Concerto" from the DG Clear or Cloudy set.

Agon is great, but I don't think I could get sick of Le sacre too easily.

EigenHaydn for gob-smackingly large orchestra

Beautifully played and fairly good performances, but a bit in the grand manner for my tastes. HvK pulls of the Paris set better.

What are the eigenvalues?

By the way, I love the thing on the cover that brags about how the "Paris" and "London" symphonies are brought together for the first time. As if this is some groundbreaking achievement. I imagine a large group of scientists in lab coats trying to figure out how to do this.

Well I think it's a pretty neat achievement - it is, after all, 342 km from Paris to London (and slightly more from London to Paris).
