I think I'm a reincarnation of chocolate milkshake.

Are you sure?

We just have a perception, sensation, and assumption of continuity in self. Perhaps, it helped the human species' survival and reproduction. The cells and atoms in our body, including brain, are constantly replaced with new ones.

Are you sure?

I am not trying to persuade anyone .

As for myself, I don't know of a simpler perspective, which, naturally, makes it preferable to more complex ones.

Bach

[VonStupp]

George Lloyd
Requiem
Psalm 130

Jeffrey Makinson, organ
Stephen Wallace, countertenor
Exon Singers - Matthew Owens

A beautiful work, very different from the others I have heard from the composer. A conservative setting without an orchestra, yet there is still personality.

I have never been a fan of countertenors, but Wallace's singing is beautiful.

Mesmerising performances! Thank you for posting.

Started this excellent boxset, saving the complete Iberia for last. Four discs gone, five to go.

I particularly enjoyed Six Little Waltzes (Disc 4) and Gavotte from Twelve Characteristic Pieces (Disc 1): the former, while ditties, have a disarmingly nostalgic and melancholy feeling, while the latter's melody is basically the main theme of the Rondo of Mozart's Clarinet Quintet.

Also, the Third Sonata (Disc 4): amiable, sensuous, caressing.

His Schubert (3 Klavierstück, D946 on the same disc as the Schoenberg below) really hits home too. The last two of them in particular utterly entrancing in the simplicity with which they make Schubert's gift to the world so clear.

[André]

Gabrieli's style is quite inimitable. This disc has a fine program consisting of canzons for brass, organ pieces, motets for choir and brass. It's fantastically performed by La Fenice (PI). The trumpets in particular have a sweet, silvery, never piercing sound. They can play p and still be clearly heard over the buzz of cornets and sackbuts.

Martino Tirimo plays Schubert: Sonata No. 16 in A minor, D845, and Sonata No. 15 in C, "Reliquie", D840 (completed by the pianist).

Vol. 5 of the 8-CD complete traversal of Schubert's piano sonatas.

[André]

Quite a find, this one. I knew Poot's symphonies 3, 5 and 7 from another Marco Polo disc, but this one has a varied and hugely entertaining program.

Poot's writing is economical but not terse, it focuses on thematic cells that are developed fully but not blown out of proportion. Rythms are tight and bouncy. The Allegro symphonique and Cheerful (Vrolijke) Overture are both smashing pices. The substantial ballet Pygmalion is deeper, its 4 movements a medium-sized symphony in all but name. The 3-movement symphony is beautifully composed, a real tribute to the composer's mastery of form and development.

Gonna pop the top: Bach's Cantatas

Okay, I've made it almost all the way to the end of this set, and I've learned two things.

First, these works are unmistakably beautiful. In fact, I might even use the word sublime, and I can easily imagine these being considered the greatest artistic achievement of all time.

Having said all that, and meant it, these works simply are not for me at all. I need error; I need flaw; I need something to grasp onto (I think this is why I love so much contemporary classical, as it is all so grounded).

I appreciated my times in the heavens, but I am bound for hell.

Both heavens and hell are within you. You are not moving anywhere — steady as a rock, beyond any possibility of change, or even better — any need to change. Only thoughts dart around chaotically, diving into a past that no longer exists or rushing toward a future that has yet to arrive. Bach, too, stands firm here, timeless and unshaken  .
