A really excellent recording of early French keyboard music, published in 1531 by French printer Pierre Attaignant.

An excellent Sculthorpe CD for starters. Cello Dreaming is particularly wonderful.

Looks most interesting Cesar. I like 'Earth Cry' and Memento Mori.

I have that CD, but I have not yet listened to it. So already some thoughts?

[Mandryka]

Yes, I knew this and have acquired it for that reason.
I agree that he is a great chopinian. Time will show if he will replace Arrau as my favorite nocturne interpreter on modern piano.

I like Smeterlin because there's no feeling of premeditation, he doesn't smother the music in speculative Brucknerian profundity.

I like this very much, but I like Hopkinson Smith very mucher.

Yesterday I missed the livestream of this concert, but luckily there's still the video on the youtube channel of the Arnold Schönberg Center; quite modern program with works for violin and piano:

Claude Debussy/Violin Sonata in G minor
Arnold Schönberg/Phantasy for Violin with Piano Accompaniment
Sergei Prokofiev/Five Melodies
Leoš Janáček/Violin Sonata

Here's a photo of Nijinsky in costume I found on Wikipedia's page for the ballet

Petrouchka is rather well documented photographically:

Petrouchka is rather well documented photographically:

And some of the sets and costumes are now right here in Canberra. Being able to see them was magical.

EDIT: Nijinsky's costume. https://digital.nga.gov.au/archive/exhibition/balletsrusses/default.cfm%3firn=106561&bioartistirn=11792&mnuid=3&galid=11&viewid=2.html

Paul Wranitzky.
Symphonies.
Opus 50/37/51.
NDR Radiophilharmonie, Rolf Gupta.

A marvelous recording of these fine works by Wranitzky who is totally ignored. More reason to be joyful about this second instalment CPO released. Very good sound. The NDR orchestra makes this into a feast.

Poulenc: Le travail du peintre (The work of the painter)



Quite the fusion of the arts. Each of Eluard's poems is about a particular painter: Picasso, Chagall, Braque, Gris, Klee, Miro and Villon. So you have a painting style inspiring a poem inspiring a musical setting.
