If he has the Symphony Edition box, it's in there

Aye.  (And it's a temptation, I do not deny.)

[Mandryka]

Jean Barraqué's Chant après chant by the Mccormick Percussion Group and Jamie Jordan. Best new recording of 2015 .

The Barraqué works based on Death of Virgil are something well worth knowing I think. I can certainly see why one or two people thought he was the greatest composer since Debussy - I don't think anyone would say that on the basis of just the piano sonata though. On the other hand, I've never got far with Broch's book, despite two or three tries in English and in French - I can't read German.

He fades in the home stretch! He got Markovina before I did but lagged badly in finishing it!

Listening to music is like sex, where speed itself is not generally considered to be a virtue.

Love it!  And you're right - the special sound contributes to their attractiveness.

Time for me to take that set of the shelves tomorrow morning.

Q

I like them much better than the Haydn string quartets I've heard so far, but that doesn't say much considering I'm not a big SQ guy for the most part to begin with (though there are a few exceptions -- notably the Ravel, the Debussy, and Bartok's 3rd).

Scriabin: Piano Sonata No. 5 (Sean Chen) - Along with Nos. 9 and 10, one of my faves by Scriabin, and Chen does a beautiful job with it.

A friend of mine is a big fan of Scriabin. I need to hear more of his music. I've heard parts of things, but that's about it.

Also, with all of the Hindemith stuff going on, I need to hear more of his music as well.

Currently, Feldman's Crippled Symmetry. Good cloudy afternoon music.

Tristan Perich: Surface Image (Vicky Chow, piano; Tristan Perich, electronics) - An hour-long piece, commissioned by Chow, for piano and 1-bit electronics. Perich calls this type of primitive electronics "uber-reductionist" - basically a hum or drone, and very minimal, very austere. This makes an interesting contrast to the luxurious Ravel and Scriabin piano music I've been hearing lately - completely at the opposite end of the spectrum.
