New Releases

[Brian]

A debut CD from pianist I never heard of before but excerpts played on BBC3 sounded really interesting:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04wm1nq (starting 02:14:48 into the program)

I thought so too. Here is my post about that disc.

[JCBuckley]

Same here. Can't say I shared the BBC reviewer's enthusiasm for the Fliter disc, though.

February 2015 will see the completion of Alan Gilbert's NYPO Nielsen symphony cycle.

How's it been thus far?

[The new erato]

Harry will go bananas over this.

Harry will already have them all!

Would not be surprised if he is credited in the notes.

[Moonfish]

Looks very interesting as I am a great fan of Kirkby. Thanks for posting it, Todd!

Intriguing. And they sure saved money on artwork, using the same unremarkable photos for a third time now.

It would be nice if they re-issue some of their earlier mono sessions. The first Dorati/Minneapolis Nutcracker complete ballet would be a welcome inclusion.

Coming Feb. 10th:



Tracklisting:

Piston: The Incredible Flutist Suite
Antheil: Jazz Symphony
Copland: Symphony No. 3

Not a very creative program IMHO, but I definitely don't need this recording.

Never say never. Their last disc - Vaughan Williams' Fifth and the orchestral music from Peter Grimes - was really surprisingly good once you got past some wobbly Elgar. In fact, I'll listen again now.

Obviously in Piston and Copland they'll face stern competition from Lenny B.

Yeah. A regional orchestra getting a recording contract -- shades of Louisville! -- and they opt for oft recorded fare.  I might be interested if they were like BMOP of Botstein's American Orchestra and tried some of the worthy music lacking a decent recording. Mennin's Cello Concerto is crying out for a new recording for example. (Not to mention Henning's). It's not like they can really expect to compete with the big boys in something like the Copland.

[Karl Henning]

Well, and I mean to set to a Cello Concerto.

Why not? They competed with the big boys just fine in RVW. You should check out their last CD, which IS interestingly programed. Unanswered Question, Adams' Wound-Dresser, Britten's Sinfonia da Requiem, RVW 4th.

I don't suppose there are any people here interested in Nielsen and choral music
