Last night Macbeth * Muti * Peter Stein; earlier this morning Mozart with Ivor Bolton & Julia Fischer. Later tonight: Sasha Waltz-choreographed performance of assorted modern works.

[The new erato]

Just discovered the Timpani label from France. Yikes: looking through their catalog on Classicsonline, I think I want to hear every single release. The programs are all so appetizing - and so many of them have such beautiful cover designs!

Yes indeed. Start with the Pierne issues, all are fantastic. And there's a couple of Florent Schmitt discs that are absolutely superb.

Waiting for the next Timpani offer on the usual UKwebshops.

6 & 9 are £10. In general, Amazon's mp3 download costs more than the CDs. The British have always been shit at capitalism, but srsly guys.

One day I will understand.

[Lethevich]

Hehe, I am so immature - I take a kind of perverse pleasure in seeing an otherwise intelligent person try to be a wit but slip up. In the latest Gramophone, a reviewer adds [sic] tags to a claim that a pianist's survey of "all 35" of Beethoven's piano sonatas is being undertaken - but clearly this means that the electoral sonatas will be included.

WOW!  The Havergal Brian composer thread officially holds top spot for the most replies posted in the active composer discussion threads!!  Quite an accomplishment.

If I posted a bunch on the Mahler thread I could change that pretty quick!

[Opus106]

An opportunity for Martinu's fans to take issue with Arkiv:

Supraphon is now on sale, including Martinu: Overture, Rhapsody / Belohlávek, Czech PO, perhaps the single most appealing selection of Martinu's orchestral works.

[emphasis mine]

Despite not being one myself, I feel like quibbling about it.
