I think I'll binge on Ravel in honor of the current poll. Starting with Martha Argerich playing Gaspard de la Nuit!

Rapsodie espagnole - Detroit SO, Paul Paray

Gorecki's SQ #3 no opinion, I listened to it in less than ideal conditions.

Haydn's Stabat Mater-- passionate moments, somber moments, beautiful moments a great work and also a good listen to those that don't like the stereotypical Haydn cheeriness!

Crumb's Black Angels-- an incredible masterpiece.

Nice! That's on my Sansa Fuze!

String Quartet #5

[Philoctetes]

... that disc looks enticing! I have had for some years those excellent cello concertos by Dieltiens and they are my favorite versions.

BTW, Philoctetes: How is that foot? I hope it's improving every day. 

It's a pretty good disc, not exactly my cup of tea, but everything to my ear was spot on, with fantastic sound, good balance, great technique. If you enjoy this type of music, I really don't see you not really enjoying this disc.

Foot is a-okay. I should be fully healed by now. I'm going to test it this weekend.

And backwards too. Bravo.

And backwards too. Bravo. 

... and a slight touch of distinction: the identification of the work also in foreign language.

Stockhausen: various percussion, electronic and chamber works on this two 2 CD set


Just listened to some of this set last night after coming back from a live performance of Tierkreis (a completely different version from the trumpet/organ one on this recording). Anyhow, the feeling I get with this music (particularly the electronic works) is that it is quite ephemeral, here one minute gone the next. Ideas and sounds come and go - the structure seems much looser than the electronic music I've heard by Xenakis. I think Stockhausen can be thought of as the opposite of Xenakis - he's more intuitive and free. For the listener, this can be quite difficult (even though some of the sounds are quite ravishing). As one reviewer said of this music on musicweb, you have to have a bit of patience to enjoy this music...

[kishnevi]

That is one that I do not own.

Then get it.  If not for the Sibelius then for the Lindberg (of which this is the premiere recording).
