Don't tell porkies, and do not start arguments again as you are prone to do, and did over the years. Remember your age.

I'll leave others to judge whether I'm telling porkies. Anyone with a memory only a couple of weeks long will remember when you threatened to leave the forum.

Harry, deleting all your posts doesn't work when I've already quoted them.  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

EDIT: The conversation was over as far as I was concerned, but I just find it funny that you thought better of it and want to pretend it didn't happen. Sorry, but it did.

Claudio Monteverdi.

Lagrime d'amante.
Madrigals of Love and Grief.

La Compagnia del Madrigali.

A tribute to Daniele Carnovich who died in 2020, 64 years. He was a good bass and will be dearly missed.

The madrigali come from different books, and contain the last recordings with Daniele. As a whole this CD is a anthology of his travail through the music of Monteverdi, and therefore it is well compiled.
The usual high standard of this group is in full voice, and it is a good recording.

Thanks for letting me know Harry.

The software of this forum does not work properly, I have found that out some time ago. I also wanted to take a subscription, but it would not let me, so we have to wait until Rob is going to address the issue. Until that time I will send my PM's to your mail.

Thank you my friend. I have responded to your kind message and alerted Rob (who may be cycling in the Pyrenees  8)) of the PM issue.

Back on topic - Knipper: Symphony No.4 - the 'official face' of Soviet classical music but not without merit:

Now, back on home territory - Bax: Tintagel - a slow but atmospheric performance. These are presumably the 'fill-ups' for Lloyd-Jones's Bax cycle assembled together on a single CD and making a nice programme:

"Its a girl"

Chamber music by Female composers.
SACD recording.

Louise Farrenc.
Trio for Flute, Cello & Piano, in E minor, opus 45.

Melanie Helene Bonis.
Soir, Matin for Piano trio.

Amy Marcy Beach.
Piano Trio in A minor, opus 150.

Sonia Eckhardt-Gramatte. Born in Russia as Sofia (Sonia) Fridman-Kochevskaya.
A Little piece of music.

Julia Francis Smith.
Trio Cornwall.

Thomas Irnberger, Violin.
Barbara Moser, Piano
David Geringas, Cello.

To me this CD is a Godsend. All female composers offer refreshing music, with a totally different feel to it. Julia Francis Smith, had me all in fetters with her highly original Trio Cornwall, but Louise Farrenc is also very impressive, and not to forget Melanie Helene Bonis, What an original mind she had, and how frustrated she was not getting ample opportunity to make her way in the world. She was such a promising composer. I mourn the thought that she was not able in a male dominated world to be what she would have liked most, indeed I am! Amy Marcy Beach wrote a Piano trio that will ring in my ears for a long time. She was a very able and talented composer too. Sonia Eckhardt Gramatte, might not be well known,, her little Music made me sit up.
A very good SACD sound is an added bonus!  The performances are first rate.

Each year when renewal comes up, the subscription fails to renew and you have to post in the News/Announcements board. I've learned this the hard way several years in a row. Eventually each time, Rob sees it and takes my money and restores my subscription.

Uuno Klami.

Orchestral Works,
Helsinki PO, John Storgards.


What a wonderful disc this.
+1 - great cover art as well. Klami was a fine composer whose music I often listen to.

Saygun and Elgar are odd bedfellows but I have this on order. Hopefully arrive today.
What a bizarre combination of works!

I really like the The Miraculous Mandarin.I remember   vividly a television broadcast of this ballet with Antal Dorati, it was very impressive.
