New Releases

[Mandryka]

Thanks for your colorful description. A Harass is of course interesting, but together with the toccata clips I cannot refrain from feeling, that he is that kind of musician who generally aims for maximum effect and very little affect. It makes me associate to Anthony Newman, the most Gouldian harpsichordist I can recall.

Well, I've just bought the British music CD, I'll keep you informed



As far as the Goldberg's go, the influence of Gould is palpable, Anthony Newman I hardly know, but you may be right.

This might be interesting, because Esfahani's contribution to Watchorn's Bull CDs was relatively nice. E.g. the Walsingham variations.

[Mandryka]

This might be interesting,

Yes he's making me listen, lots of virtuosity but sensitive too, and good instruments well recorded. He's clearly a musician to watch, fortunately for me he does concerts in London frequently.

He may well have a gift for making music swing - that was Gould's main strength IMO, and Landowska pre war. It makes him stand out from the crowd in a really special way.

I'm going to go back to listening to this series on streaming, which may end up being a serious risk to my shelf space and wallet. I'm a complete sucker for a planned set with good cover art, and if they ever offer a massive box it might not matter how much I actually like Vivaldi.

They already have more than a few small boxes, some of them already OOP.    The original plan was for 100 installments, IIRC.  I made a concerted effort at one point to get everything that was issued (which required getting one off Ebay from a Taiwanese dealer....never used Ebay for anything else), and since then have been buying them as they come out.  I'll probably be pulling the trigger on these within the next week or so.

I know they had 5 CD boxes, as I recall a couple of them actually overlapped with each other.

But I mean if they ever do one big reissue at the end... probably won't happen and I probably wouldn't be quite that crazy...

Oh look, there I am responding with interest 5 years ago. Fat lot of good that was.

Going off-topic, but are you familiar with Gardiner's Bach Cantata series on SDG?

I am. But was inoculated by buying all of Suzuki's in the 10 CD boxes.

[SymphonicAddict]

I've enjoyed his PCs 2 and 4, so this new release will be of my clear interest.

[SymphonicAddict]

Another interesting forthcoming release.

Fritx who the hell on earth?

Very nice!! I very much enjoyed his PCs 2 and 4 as well. Röntgen rarely fails to please!

Fritx who the hell on earth? 

The fact that he is practically unknown to many of us doesn't mean that his music is not worth exploring 

[SymphonicAddict]

I share that feeling too. Consistency is one of his outstanding features.

Alessandrini Louis Couperin. No info on the instrument, two quasi-scholarly essays by Alessandrini in the booklet, the English translation is a mess. First impressions suggest an approach which is inclined to underline nobility, grace, sweetness and expressiveness more than thrilling foot tapping energetic music. There's something original in these interpretations.
