This should be an excellent recording as the late Klaus Tennstedt was well-known as an interpreter of Mahler's works ...

Xenakis: Tetras (Arditti Quartet) - Live performance on YouTube (at the Venice Biennale) and superb, even scarier than their studio recording.  Here's Part 1:

John Luther Adams: Red Arc/Blue Veil (2001, for piano, percussion and processed sounds) (Musicians from the University of Kentucky, on YouTube) - Static, almost ambient use of these forces, but with a quiet force that makes you sit up and take notice.

Sounds like you need a new SACD player.

A new something, certainly, but I may be able to get away with a new CD of the Jongen piano works!

(Kid is starting college in the fall, so no new toys for this mom anytime soon, alas!!)

This afternoon, I was listening to Brahms four-hand piano transcriptions of his string quartets (transcribed by the composer). I'm not much one for string quartets as a rule, but find these transcriptions very much to my liking.

This should be an excellent recording as the late Klaus Tennstedt was well-known as an interpreter of Mahler's works ...

The whole box set is highly enjoyable!

If you are patient it can be so relaxin' to listen to opera music.

If you are patient it can be so relaxin' to listen to opera music.
