Last post by Symphonic Addict - Today at 05:11:27 PMPoot: Symphonies 4-7
These symphonies have been a sort of nice discovery lately and they're not too long. The first two feature good vibes and some neoclassical gestures + American rhythms, but the next five are gritty, menacing, dynamic, very engaging indeed. Some are better recorded than others (in the 5th the orchestra sounds a tad distant).

Great Recordings and Reviews / Re: New Releases
Last post by Brian - Today at 04:53:37 PMJune sightings on Presto
This is three quartets of about 21-25 minutes each.
This is the Oscar Lorenzo Fernandez whose "Batuque" is on like every Brazilian music compilation/highlight album (and was recorded by Bernstein). It's on here in its original suite context along with two very substantial 32-36 minute symphonies. Total time of disc 82:28

Jessie Buckley and Bernard Butler - For All Our Days That Tear The Heart (2022)
Jessie Buckley is the actress who played Prince Andre's sister in the BBC War And Peace and the pregnant woman who spent too much time in her firefighter husband's hospital room in Chernobyl - and comes from a singing background.
Bernard Butler is the former guitarist with Suade
I was very impressed by this. At times sounding like David Sylvian's Spirit Of The Beehive, at other times like Heather Nova's Oyster (both albums I love).

Last post by Brian - Today at 04:25:57 PMThey must have only printed 1-2000 copies or something similar. That's especially unfortunate because it had been out of print for 10+ years before the reissue came.

I've been very much looking forward to the 2nd part of Beecham's stereo Delius.
I have long cherished Janet Baker and John Shirley-Quirk in Songs of Sunset. I am interested to hear another.

Last post by Mapman - Today at 02:01:58 PMThe wonderful Festetics Haydn quartet box seems to already be unavailable. How did they let it go out of print so quickly? I'm really glad I bought it while it was still available.

(Unavailable on Presto and JPC too)
