Perhaps I want simple music to balance out the complexities and chaos in the World we experience nowadays?

Download all the Ambient Collective albums on archive.org then. I find Avant-Garde Classical takes my mind to a clear, airy place - maybe the future that some people dreamt of fifty or sixty years ago.

I can't believe I did not buy this on the day it was released.  I am so ashamed.

Seeing Trifonov encore the Cinderella gavotte live (with GMG's own Bruce!) (Hey Bruce, do you know about this album??) was one of the coolest and best encores of my concert experience.

I didn't know about that Tharaud CD.  I can't say I'm a fan of the composer (the little I've heard from him hasn't motivated me to look for more) but I'll be interested in your opinion of the CD once you listen to it.

I'm somewhat of a fan of Kagel; I find much of his "radio play"-like work (for instance ...,Den 24. XII. 1931) outstanding, even brilliant, but his instrumental pieces are all over the map, hits and misses.
Don't have super high expectations here, but want to hear Tharaud.

FWIW, the following reviewer of the disc in question seems to have a good handle on Kagel's work and indicates what one might expect:

Ordered some CD'S at JPC, long overdue. My first order in 2021.

I especially look forward to Leon Berben's Complete recording of Weckmann's organ works on two beautiful old organs.
The Joseph Lauber is also a long anticipated disc. All first recordings.
The Novak disc is a recommendation by Jeffrey
The Constanzi disc Sinfonie per Cello is some extra ordinary fine music unknown to me.
I've always had great respect for Paddington because he is amusingly English and a eccentric bear He is a great British institution and emits great wisdom with every growl. Of course I have Paddington at home, he is a member of the family, sure he is from the moment he was born. We have adopted him.

Part two.

The second Novak disc sounded just fine, so I ordered it because of this.
The David disc I missed somehow, so that is fixed now.
The Karayev I seemed to have missed too, so also fixed.
The Vladigerov the same.

Part 3.

Both the Graener and Weigl discs I missed when they were released, so that' fixed too.

The Graener is excellent, especially the Flute Concerto: written right in the middle of the German 1945 debacle, it's a melodious, cheerful, happy-go-lucky work. Papageno contra Wotan --- and more power to Papageno!

My Heidsieck box arrived Wednesday. I have really enjoyed the Mozart concertos and Faure nocturnes so far (to my surprise did not enjoy the heavy cello playing of Paul Tortelier).

The Flute Concerto is indeed a delectable piece. I was taken by the Violin Concerto the most, though.
Part of the tragedy of the Palestinians is that they have essentially no international support for a good reason: they've no wealth, they've no power, so they've no rights.

I've got some Berlinskaya.  I've got some Ancelle.  Why not get both, especially at clearance price?

Many Heidsieck posts the past week or so. I have waited and expected someone to mention that Eric is a member of the family that produces the famous Heidsieck champagne. Well aware probably common knowledge but needed to get it off my chest. :P

Haha! I only found out a couple years after listening to his Beethoven. But the pianist and his drink do make a natural pairing.  :)
