Martucci: Piano Trio No. 1 in C major

What this work lacks in memorable tunes, it has in poetry and eloquence galore. I don't know many Italian piano trios, but this one definitely stands out. A very worthwhile piece.

Dvorak: The Noon Witch [Mackerras]





This is both thoroughly dramatic and enchanting music from Dvorak. The sound pictures are wonderful. All of the various tones and atmospheres are achieved by the wonderful orchestration in this work. The sonorities are magical. Mackerras, as expected, delivers the music superbly well here in a wonderful presentation. I had not particularly noticed the range of dynamics in this work before but the Czech PO handles everything in their stride in this wonderful recording [as one would expect].

Dvorak: The Noon Witch [Mackerras]

A very nice album!

[Scion7]

The piece by Tescari isn't exactly smashing, but I quite like the other material.

The restoration work on the Christian Müller Organ in the Bavokerk is desperately needed, because the case and the organ pipes are seriously polluted and affected by bat droppings

Romeo Cascarino: Pygmalion (1954) - JoAnn Falletta / Philadelphia Philharmonia. Listening to the album as part of an article I'm writing on the composer, who would have been 100 next week, and remains largely unknown to most listeners. Well worth a listen for those who like Copland, Morton Gould, or other mid-century American composers.

First listen, sounds really good. My favorite variation, R.P.A. is now playing.

Are you still in France ? 

I am!  Enjoying the last bits of nice weather.

Returning tomorrow to the Netherlands with a nice stock of Pouilly Fumé.
