Such a stunning piece.

NP: Varèse Déserts



I might do a back-to-back traversal of the recordings I own of Déserts. It's one of my favorite works from Varèse and for this fact alone is why I'm careful not to overplay it. Remarkable piece and the performance here from Nagano/Orchestre National de France is top-notch.

Oh, I haven't heard that in an age. You give me an idea!

CD 1 of this double CD

The lead off work, Yizkor, was used with the title Evocation on the BIS CD of that name with Itamar Zorman and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales. The performance here is about 5 minutes longer, in part because it uses a candenza by the composer, in preference to a cadenza by Jascha Heifetz (and which was apparently used on the BIS recording).

Hindemith: Der Dämon

Another terrific piece by this German genius. My admiration for his art grows and grows.




Donizetti: String Quartets 7-9 (Mitja Quartet)

These quartets have much more to offer than expected. Truly delectable works

I have it in a recording conducted by Dietrich Fischer-Diskau.

A top-quality video for its time.

Very impressed with how they must have cleaned up the sound. 

[Symphonic Addict]

I have it in a recording conducted by Dietrich Fischer-Diskau.

Looks like a good program.

Meyer: Piano Sonatas 1-3

Three absorbing works that catch the attention with a myriad of engrossing and unpredictable ideas. Rewarding music. I should play his string quartets after listening to Donizetti's.

[Der lächelnde Schatten]

Oh, I haven't heard that in an age. You give me an idea!

Very nice, Karl. Enjoy!

Speaking of enjoying...
