Yesterday afternoon, just a few hours before she won Best New Artist at the Grammys, Samara Joy gave this performance of "Can't Get Out of This Mood." Seriously, she is destined for stardom.

I think Todd recently reported listening to it and didn't hate it.

Thomson was my first exposure to the music, and I liked it enough to be hooked on Martinu. But when I heard Valek I found it brought out a lyrical, rhapsodic character in the music, which I enjoyed. Thomson puts an emphasis on dramatic aspects which, to my ear, makes the Martinu symphonies sound more conventionally symphonic. The other standard recommendation is Belohlávek/BBC, but I found the audio quality unsatisfactory, sort of artificial sounding to my ear. I'm looking forward to listening to Belohlávek/Czech Phil (although there isn't a complete cycle).

Most interesting, thanks.

So you do care about the interpretation. The comments you made are exactly about the interpretation.

Nice, sensitive performance. The composition of the sonata is too similar to Scriabin and it makes me feel uncomfortable a little.

Yes it is like Scriabin in Bingham's hands.

Late to the party, first series of Happy Valley done.



Last episode of the third and final series transmitted last night. Doing our best with difficulty to avoid the outcome as Happy Valley has created some noise in the UK press.   

"Enjoy" the journey, Lol. The conclusion last night was very good.
