Explained by the fact that of the five different recordings of the Te Deum, none are from a Warner label.

Yours by the way seems to have been originally on another label, and then issued at least one other time by Hanssler

Der lächelnde Schatten

NP: Carter Cello Concerto



The Carter steals the show on this disc. Never liked the Elgar anyway --- I bought this recording for the Carter.

"A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people ... then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbour — such is my idea of happiness"

#131192
NP: Varèse Déserts



I might do a back-to-back traversal of the recordings I own of Déserts. It's one of my favorite works from Varèse and for this fact alone is why I'm careful not to overplay it. Remarkable piece and the performance here from Nagano/Orchestre National de France is top-notch.

CD 1 of this double CD

The lead off work, Yizkor, was used with the title Evocation on the BIS CD of that name with Itamar Zorman and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales. The performance here is about 5 minutes longer, in part because it uses a candenza by the composer, in preference to a cadenza by Jascha Heifetz (and which was apparently used on the BIS recording).

Hindemith: Der Dämon

Another terrific piece by this German genius. My admiration for his art grows and grows.




Donizetti: String Quartets 7-9 (Mitja Quartet)

These quartets have much more to offer than expected. Truly delectable works
The current annihilation of a people on this planet (you know which one it is) is the most documented and at the same time the most preposterously denied.

A top-quality video for its time.
