[Opus106]

If EMI could then pretty please include the Japanese sequel, that I don't have?

Q

Are you referring to DHM's 'Londons'? A Sigiswald Kuijken Edition is about to be released, but none of the online shops that I have visited so far provide the track listing for the 10 CDs. Haydn is listed as one of the featured composers on the cover, but I doubt whether he would have been provided with 40% of the space, although I'd be glad if that's the case.

Let's hope so  , though I have little faith.

Already at the 7th volume of this series, and I have to admit that till now this is the best I have encountered so far, for the very simple reason that instead of a Fortepiano, a Harpsichord is used, ( Build by Klaus Ahrend, after Flemish models, ca. 1750)  It really makes a huge difference. It somehow fits better into the framework of these Trios. And the music gets a better treatment, simply because the balance between instruments is far better. I wonder how the rest would sound if the instrument would be a Harpsichord. Marvellous. Sound is good, and the performance excellent.

What's your take on this piece, Paul? I'm big on David Lang and this has become one of my most listened to discs.

What's your take on this piece, Paul? I'm big on David Lang and this has become one of my most listened to discs.

I like it, it's a very interesting take on a traditional "Passion".  The austerity of the orchestration (to my ears anyways) makes the vocal parts extremely clear.

I got it after I saw David Lang's Presentation when he came to my school as apart of the "New Music Festival", he talked a lot about this piece.

That's very cool you got to see Lang speak! The vocalists play the percussion parts themselves which I believe enhances the relationship between the two.

If you haven't heard it, I think you might enjoy the piece that Lang wrote for So Percussion called The So Called Laws of Nature.

That was one of the pieces of his that was played at the festival, I forget what I thought of it though.  (He was the "main" composer of the festival)

There are videos of the piece on YouTube.

The third CD of this set, with the ongoing series released by Brilliant, with the music of Muzio Clementi, for Harpsichord, Volume III. Nothing than good is to report about what so far came on the market. The instruments used are very fine examples of their time, the playing is without blemish, and the music captivates all the time. A very inexpensive journey into one of the fascinating composers of the 18th-19th century, and one that should not be overlooked. The recording is very good.

Sonata Opus XIII, No. 6 in F minor.
La Chasse in D.
Capriccio in B flat.
Sonata in C.

Piano Concerto no. 2 in G minor, op.32 (25:49)
Piano Concerto no. 4 in C minor, op.44 (29:35)

That's a very good interpretation and recording!

3 CD'S of that box I have already, the rest is of little interest to me.

Dvorak time

CD III

Quintet No. 1 in A major, and No, 2 also in A major.

Again nothing to complain, these are idiomatic performances, deliciously performed and recorded. It gives nothing but joy. Dvorak pur sang!

That might be a blessing in disguise, if they would decide to issue all the Haydn symphony recordings seperately.

(On the brighter side, a HIP recording of Davidde Penitente is available again.)

That's the one disc I already have! Looking at the rest the decision wether to get it will hinge on he Muffat and Rameau's Zoroaste. The Geminiani seems superfluous, the rest will be "nice to have". Thanks for the info BTW!

Thread duty: listening to a very pretty CPE disc indeed - and the programming is examplary for CPE's transition from the Baroque to the Classical era. An esential CPE recording, according to one of the comments on Amazon. I'm inclined to agree.

I can vouch for the Geminiani and Muffat, love those recordings. The CPE Bach on CPO is a real gem!
