"I don't at all mind actively disliking a piece of contemporary music, but in order to feel happy about it I must consciously understand why I dislike it. Otherwise it remains in my mind as unfinished business."
-- Aaron Copland, The Pleasures of Music

Keemun I have seen bits and pieces of that Yo-Yo-Ma six part film series on the Performance Channel here in England.  If I remember correctly Yo-Yo-Ma teams up with a dance company and together they adapt J.S. Bach's cello suites to a choreographed dance routine- it was quite original, I had never seen anything like this.

Johann Mattheson. (1681-1764)
"Der Brauchbare Virtuoso", opus 7.
Volume I.
Trio Corelli, on period instruments.

Mattheson seems to have been a very difficult man to get on with. It takes quite a bit of nerve to publish a composition that he wished to be a commercial success, and then introduce a volume with a 14 page long preface which by and large abuses potential buyers in no uncertain terms. Nevertheless he did.
The sonatas are tuneful, well written, at least some of them, well played and perfectly recorded.

Rachmaninov.
Symphonic Dances opus 45.

This is pretty much the best recorded opus 45 I heard, and I am pretty sure for myself, that this is the best performance I have heard, and I have a few of them.....

Looks great Brian! How is it?  I've heard a few arrangements by Brahms for Four Hand Piano, including the String Quartet in C minor and the Piano Concerto in D minor, and both were utterly fantastic!!!  :)  I may have to visit Naxos for some more sampling of this.

Hmm. From the Netherlands, you say?

Let me consider.

The composer is Handel, you say?

Oh, I think I have an idea . . . .
