I tend to think most Respighi is top notch Respighi. :D

Me too. Among his less-bombastic stuff, that concerto stands out, likewise the touching Poema autunnale.
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.

Sending positive thoughts your way -- best wishes to you
The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.

-- William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

Carlo Gesualdo

Thank you J winter., you're so kind

San Antone



FELDMAN : Palais de Mari
Aki Takahashi




Palais de Mari by Morton Feldman is a work which appealed to me immediately and I listen to it regularly.  Aki Takahashi performs it very nicely.

I change my mind no Serial music tonight, perhaps Gregorian tonight in vinyl I have three albums so far, countless digital, but at night it's always vinyls, to a minus volume, don't won't to bother my neighbor.

I will listen to this cheapo Philips Gregorian Festivo Series, look I know, it's not a purist album, it as a small drone in background very subtil , still good, and I want to sleep not so late, nothing better than Gregorian to put you to sleep, not that it's dull, it's just calm and relaxing.

Look I know, heck deprofundis why aren't you listening to you're purist album 1951 decca Chant Gregorien or  the other one on archiv produktion Godehard Joppich (1978). Because I like non purist sometime, beside a slight drone effect is not that bad or is it... god know.

p.s I collect Gregorian LP looking for the best of best still has not a 60'' LP of this, a huge heavy thick one like my Decca release.

Are you folks all about purist (just voice) Gregorian or you don't mind a slight drone hey?

Is my Philips Festivo Series cheap hey it's from 1984, normally I hate these thin vinyl from the 80'' but who care ...I like it cheap or not, sounds good, the voices are ok.

Second listen to this recording of late Stravinsky choral works by Philippe Herreweghe.  Since I love the works so much it is hard trying to focus only on the performance.  I usually give up before coming to any kind of relative judgment about one recording over another one.  For decades the Stravinsky led recording was the one I knew and enjoyed.  This new one doesn't disappoint but then again, it doesn't seem necessary.

Something that pretty good to help me fight insomnia, I take elephant dose made for Elephant prescribed for me to sleep, is the naxos of Goudimel, sweet stuff,  quiet psalms a lot, see I used to work at night ruin my night sleep routine for 3-5 years i kept this job until the shop closed... working at night is dangerous for sleep habit.By the way is Mozarabic Chants an invention coined by Marcel Peres, I would like to have it in vinyl?, why it's so hard to sleep I fall asleep when sunrise.

Recently got the 4  GTV Testament Faure CDs (one has Franck/Faure). I find them excellent, sound quality not a problem.

I'm wondering if they tell you what instrument she plays?  :)
The one on the right picture looks late 19th century, could be a Steinway.

To worry about it results in insomnia. If you have the attitude of not caring and thinking; I will sleep when my body requires it, you will.

Disc 1, Concerto gregoriano, for violin and orchestra; Toccata, for piano and orchestra; Adagio con variazioni, for cello and orchestra. All of these works are new to me. The violin work is very impressive.

I remember the first time I heard Concerto Gregoriano on the radio. I thought it must be something by Finzi! It's a very fine work and one of my favourites by Respighi.
