His only competition was with himself. — Françoise Gilot

Hello, what I'm going to show you as listening amazement for ears  massage, delicate, mannerism, expressive, a pearl of an album Giaches DE Wert only LP has far I know, see, might have the first pressing in green lime and brown, popular color of ending'' 60 early 70''.

Mine on Vanguard, perhaps 1966 green lime and Brown musicians playing on the cover pressing, not your  pretty 1970 pressings of two kind, have a wonderful day, enjoy the sun if there is any, if not find in music and in your heart.


Please QUE, can you found these two differents  pressing for me por favor sir

Ligeti - Nouvelles Aventures.



I had a Ligeti binge recently and the piece which really stood out for me, which I just loved, was the Cello Concerto. And normally I'm not keen at all on concertos.

Just discovered this: it wonderful!

Two contrasting works by John Adams.
I don't have much Adams in my collection but I liked that album.
"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm" (Churchill).

'The test of a work of art is, in the end, our affection for it, not our ability to explain why it is good' (Stanley Kubrick).

Gotta love the horn playing on this...


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

Stravinsky: Apollon musagète (Daniel Harding / L'Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France) - Posted to YouTube in June 2020 (not sure if it was recorded around that time, or earlier). In any case, a suave reading, and on the 50th anniversary of the composer's death, makes me happy to discover a new performance.

What a grim cover. :o

It's very apt for The Wound-dresser, which is a Whitman poem that draws on his experiences driving an ambulance and nursing soldiers during the Civil War.

The video link, which seems to have been this same recording, no longer works.

Good to hear you enjoyed Ormandy's performance of Utrenja. I have yet to wrap my head around that work. I felt it was a bit of a slog to get through. Perhaps St. Luke's Passion will be more rewarding, but I'm honestly going to wait a little while before I listen to any more of these larger choral works from Penderecki. I really enjoyed all three SQs, though, especially the third, which has an absolute hauntingly gorgeous section towards the end that kind of took me by surprise as I wasn't expecting something so lyrically alluring from him.

I pretty much have the same reaction toward his choral works (Passion, Te Deum, Dies irae, Requiem, etc). Hard to swallow, slow digestion and a few burps. I much prefer his instrumental/orchestral works.  :)

I can only nod my head along with your own, Andre.
