2) Schnittke Cello Concerto 1

"I don't at all mind actively disliking a piece of contemporary music, but in order to feel happy about it I must consciously understand why I dislike it. Otherwise it remains in my mind as unfinished business."

Ah, yes, all those were good ones! :D

I did like that Dalbavie was getting some EMI time, not to mention the other two.

It seems EMI and DG were fighting over Schnittke, haha!


I suppose we should include Virgin then. I seem to recall... oh, yes, a nice Takemitsu disc.

And it's quite a dedication to do that Nono.



I better stop looking or I'm gonna catch some CDCDCD here!! haaa- choooo!!!



I remember that old EMI with Schnidt, Busoni and Lutoslawski- nice cover!
