Pounds the table! Great stuff, Karl. Kocsis performs it incredibly well, too.

Now, that cover is some real eye candy!

Indeed! I love Japanese women. I love Korean, Vietnamese and Thai women, too. I once dated a woman from Thailand. It's too bad it didn't work out, though, she was a keeper.

What did you think? The Concertant Trios are some of his greatest and little-known works.

[Symphonic Addict]

I will beware! But as long as those Petrassi works don't enter Jolivet Cello Concerto no. 2 territory, I should be fine.

Exciting and lively as ever.

What did you think? The Concertant Trios are some of his greatest and little-known works.

Can't really say. This is the first time I'm hearing most of this stuff: I think of his chamber music I've only heard the Violin Sonata and the Piano Quintet before. 

Relative to anything else from that time, he's got nothing to apologize for.

Hughes Dufourt: Le déluge, via Qobuz



Saw a bit of an interview with this composer on Samuel Andreyev's YT channel, so I thought I'd sample a bit of his music.   The music is quiet, atmospheric, slow moving, mobile-like in the first half, and then starts to sound much more dramatic about halfway through it's 42 minutes.

Pretty well everything he does is somehow inspired by pictures, in this case something by Poussin - he's probably written something about it

NP:

Sculthorpe

From these recordings -

I don't know that Sculthorpe disc but the Lilburn is terrific and 'Song of the Islands' is a great work.

I thought you owned this set already! Wow...

I'm sure that I have all the Atterberg symphonies on different labels but I've never owned the CPO box and this seemed too good an offer to miss.
