Austin Wulliman: The News from Utopia (live from Roulette in NYC, Feb. 15). Wulliman is one of the violinists for the JACK Quartet, and has recently begun stretching his compositional muscles. This show was a release party for the album, which came out last fall.

You played the CDs from the MacBook?

No, ripped them to re tag and copy to my AK Jr player. I do everything else on my iPad now so can't justify a new MacBook.

Finally listening to SQ 12, it is really great.  I love this album and I think I'll buy it.

[DavidW]

It's also available on Apple Music and I see it in the Qobuz download store. (I don't have Qobuz streaming so I can't confirm it's available to stream.)

Yeah it is on Qobuz, it is just that I'm tired of the random buffering issues.  Idagio has some strange gaps.  Funny enough the last time I encountered one it was with the same symphony.  They had a needle drop bootleg of the Konwitschny (sp?) Schubert, but not the real deal release.  Qobuz had it though.

My struggles with the Qobuz download app convinced me never to subscribe to Qobuz. It's hard enough to buy a track from them.

Apple Music has a pretty exhaustive catalog and few technical glitches. Once in a blue moon there is a release that refuses to play, and sometimes it plays just fine on another computer. The only downside (significant) is no CD booklets.

Just to clarify, was it Idagio that had the needle drop bootleg?

Händel, Fux, Fasch - Trio Sonatas

What thoroughly uplifting and lovely pieces these are. And playing to match.

Gian Francesco Malipiero's Impressioni dal vero and Pause del silenzio. Francesco La Vecchia conducts the Orchestra Sinfonica di Roma.

[DavidW]

Just to clarify, was it Idagio that had the needle drop bootleg?

PD

Yes.  But that naughty label (Archipel) is on all the streaming services.  I found an old thread here and another on cmg indicating it was one of the ones that are pretty well known for pirating and selling music they don't actually own the copyright to, possibly stealing other peoples transfers as well.  The streaming services don't seem to care.

Gian Francesco Malipiero's Impressioni dal vero and Pause del silenzio. Francesco La Vecchia conducts the Orchestra Sinfonica di Roma.

I listened to the Symphony series by Almeida and enjoyed it a lot. I should circle back and listen to the orchestral music recorded outside of that cycle.

New Paul Moravec CD from BMOP:

I'm sure you're wondering what a piece based on The Shining sounds like.  Well, the opening is very creepy, as you might expect, and I was not listening to that before bed.

So here's a more representative "Moravecian" piece, kinetic and jazzy, from the album:

But there's also some very tender and lyrical music here like the Serenade.
