My complete Library on Roon has itself deleted, for no obvious reasons. I have a empty database, so I must find the cause of this. No music for a while.    

So sorry that that happened!  So, if worst comes to worst, would you have to redownload music that you had purchased elsewhere?  Or is it lists of recordings that you like?  How does that work?

Interesting! I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this André.

Hi Jeffrey !

Coincidentally I listened to it again yesterday. My opinion has improved but I still have questions. The music is very good and seems very well performed in excellent sound. One of the two sopranos is a screecher. Remember those discs of Hovhanness' vocal works with his japanese wife singing ? More of the same. I guess it comes with the territory. The questions I have are about the structure of the piece. It lasts 67 minutes (the notes mention 75 mins). So it's a long piece and I still wonder what it's about. The notes don't help. Probably a google translate job (from the Korean or the Polish original - Korean bc the writer has a korean name, or Polish bc it's from a polish label). Whatever, they're uninformative and superficial. But the music is fine !

[Kalevala]

My Qobuz library is restored. A few anomalies remain but I will straighten that out. Pfffffffffffffffffffff.

Oh, good!

This is excellent, and often figures for me in the small hours.

Now playing: Chopin Trio for Piano, ViolIn and Cello in G minor, Op. 8 from this set -

[nico1616]

I am further exploring the earliest Beethoven piano sonatas. Murray Perahia recorded the opus 2 in the 90s and they are crystal clear and quite great.

[brewski]

Haydn: Symphony No. 98 (Antonini / Kammerorchester Basel). I love this one, and the more I hear of Antonini's work in Haydn, the more I like it.

Thanks André - yes, I do remember those Hovhaness discs!

First listen to this intriguing, contemplative and charming composition. I believe this might be the only complete version without narration. Castelnuovo wrote 28 pieces out of the 138 prose poems set by Spanish poet Juan Ramón Jiménez.

Castelnuovo-Tedesco - Platero y yo, Op.190

Catherine Liolios, guitar
EMEC label

Taken from the recording notes:

"Platero and I is the masterpiece of one of Spain's foremost 20th century poets, Juan Ramon Jimenez, winner of the Nobel Prize for literature in 1956. Deeply inspired by this collection of 138 prose poems, Italian compose Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco carefully selected 28 of these poems and set them to music in the 1960's. Guitarist Catherine Liolios was born in Paris in 1969. She studied under Spanish masters Jose-Maria Sierra and Alberto Ponce, and appears regularly as a soloist at major festivals across Europe."
