Indeed, a fantastic work! I ought to listen to some more Vine. As Madiel suggests, the 1st piano sonata is also very good, and I recall thinking quite highly of his SQs.

Yes, I have this album. Quartet no.3 is particularly good in my opinion.

Every single post on the forum is unnecessary. Including the ones that are interesting or useful.

Good, John. What did you think of them? Have you found pleasure on Kabalevsky's works you've heard so far?

I have enjoyed the Kabalevsky I've heard. The standouts to me so far are Vesna, Symphony No. 2 and the Cello Concerto No. 2. I'm just now becoming more familiar with the PCs. 8)

P.S. It's cool that you're listening to Carl Vine. He's great!

Have you tried his first piano sonata? To be honest I've never quite got into the piano concerto as much as the piano sonata. It's the bomb.

EDIT: But I'm going to give the concerto a 'spin' right now, come to think of it.

Very interesting to read. Besides this concerto I'm familiar with the symphonies and I have them on high esteem. Having enjoyed the PC enormously, I'll follow your recommendations then. Thank you, guys.

Excellent, John. I hope you continue enjoying this composer's music.

Carl Vine is one of the best Australian composers indeed. He deserves much attention.

Don't forget the Oboe Concerto! ;)

I shouldn't forget the Oboe Concerto. Turns out it was commissioned in Canberra and I've met the dedicatee.

Yeah. My notes from a few years ago said I liked the Concertino and I'm not changing that view. One of the reasons I think individual Tubin discs are going to be the way to go.

It's funny, I'm not generally a concerto man, but give me a piano concerto from around the 1930s-40s and I'm keen.

It's good to see that you're considering the single issue route with Tubin. A smart idea in the long run, IMHO.

Stockhausen: Mikrophonie I.

In Mikrophonie I two percussionists play a large tam-tam with a variety of implements. Another pair of players use hand-held microphones to amplify subtle details and noises, inflecting the sound through quick (and precisely scored) motions. The last two performers, seated in the audience, apply resonant bandpass filters to the microphone outputs and distribute the resulting sounds to a quadraphonic speaker system.

Although this recording I found on archive.org  is only in stereo.

So glad you enjoyed it, Jeffrey! 8) I'm sure you'd enjoy the two concerti as well, especially the one for cello. (Edit: I see from a later post that you listened to and enjoyed them both.)
Yes, I enjoyed the whole CD thank you Kyle and have now played it through several times with much pleasure. He's an interesting discovery.

Perhaps "doomed" was a bit of an overstatement. I was merely trying to get Jeffrey's attention! :P

Interesting mention of the Lavry work. I can't find it on YT or Spotify, unfortunately...
Well, you certainly succeeded in that! The only Marc Lavry I know is 'Emek' which I like very much:

The PC No.1 is terrific. I must add it to my list of favourite PCs.
This is my favourite recording of it though:

Butting in here. You may well like Symphony No.4 and Symphony No.1 as well John.

Elgar: Symphony No 2 in E flat major - London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Sir Adrian Boult - fine performance from Boult but I prefer his earlier Lyrita version

As with the 1st Symphony the one I like best is the one on my TT. :) The Lyrita is more fiery - Boult had the hump with Richard Itter - and the EMI imbued with wisdom.

You must have a very good opinion of yourself to write a symphony - John Ireland.

I opened the door people rushed through and I was left holding the knob - Bo Diddley.

Beethoven : Quatuors a Cordes
from here:[asin]B083XRVRXY[/asin]

Live recordings (but very good !). I'm more comfortable with the early quartets or the Razumovsky but very beautiful moments all over
Favorite moments (beside Razumovsky):
15 op132 III Heiliger...
13 op 130  v Cavatina
However, the big picture seems a bit distorted as in Parmigianino Selfportrait (still love it..) Old friends (Smetana,Tallich, Berg , Prazak) still alive!
for a  hint (2013)
