Unfortunately I cannot order this magazine anymore, a measure closely related to the Brexit.

Saint-Saëns, who predicted to Charles Lecocq in 1901: 'That fellow Ravel seems to me to be destined for a serious future.'

I've just been enjoying another new Ruth Gipps CD that seemed to have slipped out last year - pity it hasn't had more media prominence.

Just in case you couldn't tell, that CD cover art is described as an "abstract oil of Ruth Gipps conducting by Steve Plews"!

Lol, no it's Ruth Gipps' reaction when told she couldn't conduct because she was a woman!

One of my favourite pieces by Gipps is Leviathan for Contrabassoon and Piano (also an orchestral version). I don't think there's recording available atm but there are a couple of recital performances on Youtube (piano version). Well worth a listen.

Heard the short "Cringlemire Gardens" on YT and liked the piece a lot. Read some negative comments of Bostock on the forum but ordered the CD anyway.
You must have a very good opinion of yourself to write a symphony - John Ireland.

I opened the door people rushed through and I was left holding the knob - Bo Diddley.

Brian had posted it on the New Releases thread, but I thought it could be appropriate to post it here too:

The current annihilation of a people on this planet (you know which one it is) is the most documented and at the same time the most preposterously denied. The terror IS REAL!

Perchance I am, though bound in wires and circuits fine,
yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,
are sweeter far than any stage could hear.

For now, nothing new.

It took me a couple of listens to warm up to this CD, but I think it's solid work from composer and performers.
