I can't see the image, but I know who René is.

I'll do somewhat the same with the Manderlings, to end the Gala with a flourish.

Still Manderlings, Karl?   

Mandelring. The Quartet is based "on the wine road" in Neustadt, an area renowned for its almond (Mandel) trees which border many of the vineyards (including one called the Mandelgarten) as can be seen in these photos. Left click to enlarge.

I've had Muller-Catoir's Gimmeldinger Mandelgarten Riesling. Lovely wine (and beautiful pictures, I've followed that road a couple of times, first time in 94).

That area produces some of my favorite wines. Yeah, Müller-Catoir is first rate. And A. Christmann, Kurt Mugler (shockingly inexpensive considering the quality), Ohler (great red wine!).

Fixed.

Thanks for the tips, Sarge. Will return from next summers vacation somewhere in that general vicinity, and I'm always game for filling the car with wine for the return trip (came home with 70 bottles of Alsatian wine from last summers vacation).

The three I mentioned are in Gimmeldingen. Directly across the street from Mugler is his restaurant. If you're there at supper time, give it a try. Good Pfälzer "cuisine"

I may be doomed to make that slip any morning when I've only had one cup of coffee.

Maybe you should sell the set.

[Karl Henning]

Maybe you should sell the set.

No. I understand that I cannot run away . . . .

[Opus106]

What a cool program!

My reaction exactly, I was going to post that this was one of the most interesting and intelligently programmed recital programs I've ever seen.

I have the same programme on disk, but from Duisburg recital. The first CD of 'The Liszt Project' two-fer (DG) is also the same.

[Opus106]

I can't help but feel that Thomas Adès is a victim of his own success...

What does that refer to? (Did he lose his 'voice'?) Apart from knowing his name, I'm pretty much ignorant of this composer.

[Opus106]

What I mean by that is that some people have a negative opinion of his music because of all the hype surrounding his career.   His music is really worth listening to without preconceptions; but of course I feel that way about all new composers.  Ades, however, has generated a good bit of notoriety associated with how he rocked the classical music scene, figuratively speaking.

Thanks for the clarification. Having read that, I'm going try and include his music tonight in the list.

Rheinberger, Josef - Disc 4 - Piano Trio (Op. 112), SQ Transcription (Op. 93), & Nonet (Op. 139) from the box quoted previously.

Ries, Ferdinand (1784-1838) - Cello Sonatas w/ Larisch & Hill (pic added below) - coming up next, and I suspect will be quite Beethovian - 

Rheinberger, Josef (1839-1901) - Chamber Music w/ Sonare Quartett et al - 6 CD box on sale there (my cost about $36!).  Just starting out w/ the first disc, i.e. String & Piano Quintets - this is going to be a wonderful set, especially for those who enjoy late Romantic chamber music - attached are some Fanfare reviews dating just after the release of these performances -
