[vandermolen]

Tonight friends, followers, friendly wanderer and mortal enemy of death...
look it's not me it's Jesus teaching our Lord that want it that way so be it.

I'm listening to a super LP before I collapse, remember, that deprofondis suffer back pain and exhausted like  most of the time if not all, like I'm 43 yrs old but feel so wreck that I feel more like 90 yrs, that not cool or funny at all...

I want Godzilla to walk on my back because it hurts...enough procrastination all ready, I'm currently listening to Concert Hall Society released in 1950 like mint folks, admit your jealous a bit and don't have this tremendously awesome slab of petrol, this masterpiece Lassus/ Josquin split... confessed under God guidance...

Sorry to hear about your back DP.
All strength to you.

The Art of Courtly Love [Munrow]



LP 1 of 3 is titled Guillaume de Machaut and his Age. It should have been titled The Genius of de Machaut. A very large percentage of the music on this LP is by de Machaut and what wonderful music it is. They are all secular songs with some wonderful examples among them. Of course Munrow presented them in his own inimitable fashion that still sounds very fresh and appealing to me.

Cross post from the French Music Exploration thread:

I was making a recommendation to Olivier, in his new thread, for Ibert's Concertino da camera for Alto Saxophone and 11 instruments when I remembered that someone had commented earlier that they liked the sound of the saxophone. If you want to listen to something a little different I can readily suggest this CD.





Ibert's Concertino da camera for Alto Saxophone and 11 instruments is an intriguing and exciting sound world. I find it very colourful and energetic with its rich and varied musical language, tones and moods. I find it very exciting music.

They are not all masterpieces but  many of them are surely fun to listen to.

Yesterday:

Strauss: Der Rosenkavalier [Solti]





To my uneducated ear, Crespin sounds wonderful here.

Dabbling in Ibert.

Yesterday I tried Histoires for piano. Now trying Escales

Enjoying that one too. Love the cover !

More Ibert:

- Flute Concerto (Galway/Dutoit)

[Biffo]

Purcell: Welcome Ode for Charles II Fly, Bold Rebellion - The Sixteen Choir & Orchestra directed by Harry Christophers - Ode to welcome Charles back to London after a failed assassination attempt at Newmarket Races. After a martial opening movement much of the rest of it is surprisingly gentle.

That's a really interesting series.  I'll keep an eye out for that one.  For me, this era (first half of the 20th Century) is the most fertile source of new discoveries.

Totally agree. It's incredible what a quantity and variety of great music was written during these 50 or so years!

More Reiner: Bartok Concerto for Orch

Potter: Ceol [Pearce]





This album is a collection of traditional tunes, ranging from laments to dance music, which Potter has orchestrated. These types of things are essentially all about the nature and quality of the orchestration and Potter weaves a rich and colourful tapestry here.
