I said stop quoting me. Not reading it.

François Dufaut.
Pieces de Luth and Manuscrits.
Hopkinson Smith plays on a Pietro Railich Lute, Venise, 1644.
See back cover for more details.

Another pearl in the crown of Smith, a master Lute player of yore, and one of the best that graced our earth. Recording and performance are without blemish.

Then stop quoting me. Seriously, I mostly ignore you for a reason. The only reason I bothered looking is because you quoted me. I assumed that meant you had something to say to me. But if not, then you are not just wasting my time, but your own.

You can reject absolutely anything by playing the "subjective" card. Including the entire history of philosophy and logic. How convenient.

I admit I'm wrong. Teasing a cranky child is not nice. I won't do it again, I promise

Your inbox is full.

I threw out something you said to me 5 years ago so that you can say something new.

Your belief that someone wants something from you is again entirely subjective. I do not and cannot want anything from you.

I don't know how many I "need," but I have never listened to a recording of Mahler 9 that wasn't unique in some way, or which didn't bring out a musical line that I had not noticed before.

I have no doubt that if you listen to the same Mahler 9th recording more than once, you will hear something new each time.

Your use of words is arbitrary. And yet somehow you want me to care how you use them.

And a third complete Mörike Liede has come my way - Frauke May's got a fabulous voice for me, flexible, full of life,  and text aware.  Bernhard Renizkowski is sensitive and tender.  Well recorded to boot. I think it may well be top tier Mörike

I like Helvi Leiviska's Symphony #1 very much indeed, as with her #2. Very worthwhile, particularly after enough listens to generate familiarity. Thumbs up from me, anyhoo.

TD:

Sir Hubert Parry
Symphony 1
London Philharmonic
Matthias Bamert

Outside of my regular listening arc, but always enjoyable to revisit Parry's symphonies. They are monuments to their time, in some respects, but I do like them and they form part of the rich heritage of music from these fair islands, so why not? Working with no phone to hand, so good old YouTube for the choons.

Good to know that you like the Leiviska as well Danny.
