Very "cool", opus 117a and 149a (gently sad)  music....I hope you will find real instruments/performers soon!

General Classical Music Discussion / Re: What are you listening 2 n...

Something I picked up in Dutton's Spring clearance sale so cheap and very cheerful.  Heads up to Harry after his recent enoyment of the Chandos series of English Cello works - this is a lovely appendix to that.  Different artists but very well played.  Most of the music is very immediaely attractive and relatively undemanding but I must admit I was a bit surprised just how good it is in absolute terms.  Very well played and something of a find.... especially the Bainton Sonata

The Diner / Re: Non-Classical Music Listen...

I once traded a copy of Tim Buckley's Starsailor album (the one that has the original "Song To The Siren") with a friend for his copy of Yungchen Lhamo's Coming Home album. No regrets.

I was a big fan of Real World releases 20 or so years ago. Didn't listen for years, and now it sounds fresh again

Two eminently lyric quartets by this Lithuanian composer (1884-1941). The First Quartet is imbued with delightful rustic gestures. The Second Quartet is less memorable yet very beautiful.

I keep meaning to play this, so it is good to be prompted! Appreciate the intro...

Listening now!

Lal Shahbaz Qalandar's content adapted for western ears.

I remember "Tracery", "Fault Lines" and "Avenue" being favorites from that.
Would that all such crossover albums were so interesting.

Yes, I think you are right.

And op 110 for Koch. I haven't read the discussion above so it may have been mentioned. I can let you have it.

My research leads me to believe that Tomsic only recorded three LvB sonatas - 8, 14 and 21

Yes, I think you are right.

Silvas de Sirenas.
Music for Vihuela da Mano, by Narvaez & Valderrabano.
Recorded 2019.

This is quite an obscure recording. First of all, Thomas C. Boysen is unknown to me, secondly, and unknown label, thirdly no back cover to find, thus this image is only available on Apple music, or Amazon. No PDF file attached either. Anyways, the performance is very good as is the sound. Not composers I hear that often, so a good listen on all counts.
