As I said, so much the worse for fashion. People don't paint in the same style as, say, Michelangelo or Da Vinci anymore, but we don't call them old fashioned. Great artistry does not go out of fashion, though perhaps some people's ability to appreciate it does.

If you reread that last sentence, it shows zero awareness of what the word "fashion" actually means.

I apologise for being born later than I ought to have been.

NEXT!

Unbelievably I heard No.3 live at the Proms this year - a great experience.

Nice!

On a light tangent: He must have liked The Golden Key, I wonder how many suites he drew from it

seems promising!

It came today. At first my heart sank because there's so much music by really obscure composers, and my experience with the second half of Asperen's Rembrandt CD has not been totally encouraging about that sort of thing. But I can tell you that whatever the quality of the music, I have been transfixed by the playing. I'll try and write something with more detail later but I think part of it is that the instrument is fabulous, and Klapprott's clearly enjoying his encounter with it.

Oh there's at least one very obscure piece of music which, as far as I'm concerned, is worth the price of admission. Carl Van Der Hoeven's (who he?) ricercar 4 tone.

A great disc. I was rather taken aback by the Impressionistic sound-world of much of this music from Lutoslawski. Not that this is a bad thing of course.

Beethoven: Symphonies 1 and 7. Staatskapelle Dresden.

Better than I had remembered. While I of no 1 is still too comfy for my taste, the middle movements improve and the finale is excellent. Symphony no 7 gets an exciting reading, not really fast, but with well-pointed rythms and sharp accents, which are in abundant supply in this work. Only the scherzo disappoints somewhat here. At 10:24 it outstays its welcome. A vigorous, punchy, weighty finale caps a very fine version. Davis recorded the 7th more than any other Beethoven symphony (the others I know of are with the RPO and the LSO). He obviously enjoyed it.
