What are you listening to now?

One of my first Glass purchases. Have you heard this choral arrangement of Liquid Days?

No, Greg, that's new to me. How are the "Three Songs" by Cohen, Paz, and Lévesque?

[Wakefield]

Not in other way, than the Major works in WTC have even BWV numbers.

Generally I remember Bach´s harpsichord works in collections (Inventions, WTC, Partitas and so on) by title and/or mode.
Many of the other harpsichord works I remember by BWV number.

But the musical content of all these works I remember of course as music.

I see.

As much as I love music my aural memory is quite deficient, so I'm always interested in these issues.

Talking about Watchorn: I have always had the idea that you are respectful of Watchorn's work and skills, but you're not specially fond of his interpretations. Am I right?

Whereas Watchorn´s Bach isn´t my first choice, I appreciate his interpretations sufficiently to have collected all his Bach recordings until now except the French suites, which are difficult to get hold of in Europe. Neither JPC nor Presto Classical lists them. And this is not just a manifestation of completism, as there are actually harpsichord recordings of Bach´s work, which I do not collect, believe it or not.

Never let a Bach devotee be without a recording he desires!

Some names would be helpful to believe.

Talking about Bach, two or three days ago I saw a new Musical Offering on DHM, with Berben on the harpsichord. He's a clear case of a keyboardist who has superseded his not very auspicious beginning as professional.

A half-an-hour intro to Wozzeck.

There's a whole channel of episodes of the show San Diego OperaTalk! with Nick Reveles.

F.i.: Richard Egarr WTC book II (book one was enough of his WTC) and his Goldbergs. I have BTW acquired his English suites and have listened to them once without much pleasure.
       Everything harpsichord and organ solo with Anthony Newman.
      Gary Cooper WTC book II (same as with Egarr)
      Barbara Klinkhammer WTC book II (you know why)
      Keith Jarrett WTC book II

Yes, I saw it yesterday, and suppose it is mandatory. Only time will show if I am wrong.
Impulsive aquisitions may be a dangerous thing. F.i. I am not warming much to Savall´s b-minor mass at first listening.

I haven't listened to Watchorn's other recordings often enough to make a call as to where I rank them, but his WTC II is brilliant.

Now listening:

Different outfit, but . . . .

How do you like Jarrett there?

How do you like Jarrett there?

I have not heard his WTC II, only his French suites - played on harpsichord.
His style too smooth and harmless to me.

Good evening

Continuing the Inbal/Mahler cycle with the 7th Symphony.
