If you haven't seen this live von Stade recording--a 1976 recital from Edinburgh--it's wonderful: Dorumsgaard (never heard of him), Poulenc, Mahler, Britten, Ives and Offenbach, with "Jenny Rebecca" as an encore, and an extra Massenet track, from Cendrillon.  Plus, it's cheap.

Now listening to more by Mari Kimura, music for violin and electronics.

Milica Paranosic: ComeCryWithMe (2005) - Kimura improvises with an electronic track several times, and then mixes all the recordings together, fading in and out.  Sort of "hyperactive electronic blues" that becomes increasingly trancelike.

Robert Rowe: Submarine (1996, rev. 2004) - Written for her, and with sounds that evoke, well, what you might hear in a submarine.

Currently listening to this:



I'm interested to see how it compares to his excellent earlier version.

[Bogey]

Bill, how is Harnoncourt's way with Dvorak? The matching is certainly intriguing!

Nothing that will knock you out of the boat Brian, but a very fine recording nonetheless.

Carter String quartet 1 played by the Arditti quartet.

Mr. Henning, where can I find your music? went through DG and Naxos's catalogue and failed to find anything

Thanks sir! Sounds interesting enough, I don't usually like being thrown overboard anyhow.

Mr. Henning, where can I find your music? went through DG and Naxos's catalogue and failed to find anything 

You must not have looked very carefully! Try ArkivMusic; their catalogue is a much more reliable source:

[rubio]

Glazunov's 5th symphony performed by Vassily Sinaisky/BBC PO. I think this recording (provided by the BBC Music Magazine) must be a very good performance of this symphony. This work includes many nice melodies, and it inspires me to explore more of this composer.

[Harry]

Goodmorning all.

A little Handel to begin the day with.
