The Cheesecombe Suite has to be one of my new favorite composition titles!

The Cheesecombe Suite has to be one of my new favorite composition titles!

There's a Cheescombe Farmhouse in Hampshire that's a "listed" building, but I don't see anything in Wordsworth's Wikipedia biography to suggest any special connection.  It's located in Hawkley Parish, Hampshire.

Ooh! I'm really looking forward to this one! September, I assume?

[Todd]

Sure to be one of the great cycles.



Can't remember if this was posted before.  I'm on the fence.







From the recycled album cover collection.

Have been waiting for that one for several years!

Edit: Oh, this also marks the first (?) time I have seen Warner actually say "EMI Recordings" on a cover. Wonder if a recent copyright change took place.

Perhaps more trying to appeal to older listeners--those who remember the days of when there was more than one record label [to rule them all]?

For a while, the legal understanding was that when they bought the rights to EMI's musical catalog, they did not also get the rights to the name EMI, which is why they had to inaccurately put "Warner Recordings" on previous boxes...



They didn't have the right to say EMI, or Virgin! Only "Warner" and "Erato". So I am wondering if that changed behind the scenes.

And the US release date of this box has been pushed what, ten months?

It is weird, because they did get the rights to use the name "Erato," which they applied to Erato Disques and Virgin recordings.

Perhaps it is just that they decided they could interpret EMI branding differently. After all when Decca acquired Philips they lost the right to use the Philips brand after a period of time, but they still have releases which say "Complete Philips Recordings" released by Decca. Maybe Warner decided it would be in their interest to do the same thing.

Here, have a pic:

Some of the contents can be gleaned from Presto's listings
https://www.prestomusic.com/classical/search?search_query=Philadelphia%20Woodwind%20Quintet

But not everything is listed there: no Italian Woodwind Music and no Ornette Coleman.
(And I can't make out what the cover image directly on top of the Coleman cover--the two heads on a black background--says.

I think the name on the right of that black background cover is Henry Cowell.

Good eyesight!


The color coding suggests PWQ was responsible for the Toch works on that album.

From Warner, 7 CDs coming this fall:

"A musician as loved as he was admired, the pianist Nicholas Angelich died in Paris in April 2022 at the age of 51. Angelich was a modest, thoughtful man who brought tremendous integrity, depth and insight to the most demanding repertoire. His association with Warner Classics lasted some 20 years, and the label pays tribute to him with this 7CD collection of previously unreleased recordings of solo, chamber and concerto repertoire. Made either in the concert hall or for radio broadcast between 1999 and 2016, they range wide, including works by Bach, Bartók, Beethoven, Berg, Brahms, Franck, Haydn, Liszt, Mussorgsky, Ravel, Rachmaninov and Zemlinsky. Appearing with Angelich are Martha Argerich, Quatuor Ebène, Myung-Whun Chung and the Orchestre philharmonique de Radio France, and Tugan Sokhiev and the Orchestre national du Capitole de Toulouse."

Harpsichord sounds nice -- built in 2018 by Andrea Di Maio, copy from Vincent Thibaut, 1681, "Temperament Ordinaire" -- c'est quoi ça?

19th century score by a violin teacher called Fedinand David.

. . . in this recording I am
using an original romantic bow from 1850
and a gut-strung violin tuned up to the pitch
used at the Gewandhaus orchestra at the time
(A=447hz). In short: a truly "Romantic" violin.
