Out tomorrow!

I'm excited!    I noticed a single track from this recording on Spotify.

My wild guess is that this coincides with his 110th birthday. But that's not the most helpful classical album cover I've ever seen.

Here's a tricksy bit of marketing

. . . polyphony. . .  blah blah . . . It also expresses the confusion of a period of disorder and anxiety ('distracted tymes') traversed by political, religious and philosophical upheavals that heralded the end of an era.

This programme offers resonances for our own times, with their transformations and uncertainties.

All We Get Is Life.

Selections from the songbooks of John Dowland and John Cage.

Michèle Auclair recorded Bach sonatas with Marie Claire Alain; Geneviève Joy is a good piano player. This may be worth a shot as a historical curiosity.

[Mandryka]

Available now on Spotify -- sounds good.

"Chopin op.28 isn't long enough for an album. We need you fill it up a bit more."

That's a bit of a cover .. a quick google of the title brought up these interesting short videos.

Here is a link to full description of the new Ormanday mega doorstop box. 94 disks. A surprising number are mixtures of various composers. It's looking more attractive than I had initially expected

Wow, I didn't know Ormandy recorded Nielsen 1 and 6, Riisager, a Paul Creston Marimba Concertino, Ginastera...
