Very nice!

I'm listening for the first time to this piano quintet and it is as you say very nice.I hear heavy Brahms influences wich is not a bad thing. :)

Yeah, I'm planning on listening to all the symphonies in chronological order, save the Gothic which I'll listen to last.

No. 14 is next:




Sarge

"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

Current listening:  Britten's first sweet for cello (hadn't listened to that in ages!) followed by George Crumb's Sonata for Solo Cello from 1955.  According to the liner notes, this was the first time that it had been recorded.  Both from a CD by Matt Haimovitz entitled "The 20th-century Cello".

Two great 20th century solo cello works indeed!

Bax: Symphony No.6
LPO/Thomson
So much better (IMO) than Del Mar's disappointing, boxed-in performance on Lyrita.
Thomson allows the music to breathe.

Daniel Pinkham (1923-2006)

Introduction, Nocturne & Rondo
William Buonocore, mandolin & John Curtis - guitar

String Quartet
Boston Composers SQ

Probably all I will have time to listen to today:

I am really surprised Naxos hasn't picked up Pinkham as an American composer in their series. It seems a no-brainer to me, but maybe he isn't as well known or liked as I thought he was.  VS

Taking a break from planning a last-minute meal for Thanksgiving to listen again to Aimard playing Ligeti's Musica Ricercar No. 1 and went on to watch him play No. 7 which was recommended to me by youtube.  Quite enjoyed it!  Also, it was cool to see him actually play it.  His left hand must have been exhausted after that one!  You can watch it here if you're interested:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXsRlMneOS0

As Music Director at historic King's Chapel, he was certainly well regarded here in Boston. I was at a concert at St Paul's, Cambridge which featured by my Festive Voluntary for brass quintet and organ, and Pinkham's Christmas Cantata. His was a different era. The story goes that he pointed to his house and said: my Christmas Cantata paid for that.

I don't know his music but will check out his Christmas Cantata but post-Thanksgiving.

Just watched another video with Pierre-Laurent Aimard, but this time he's explaining what's going on in Ligeti's music--specially his seventh M. ricercata (which I had just watched).  Boy, that was helpful and quite interesting--even for me who can't read music, etc.  You can watch it here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuNavqECQZw

I think that he's done this with all of Ligeti's Musica ricercata.
