According to google translate the English translation of this alleged word is
Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetzentwurfsvorberatungskomissionsvorsteherfindungskomittee


Awesome.

I take offense at the insinuation of the word "alleged".  ;)

Being a better translator than Google, I'll take a crack at it:

The committee in charge of finding the director of the commission for preparatory consulting on the draft legislation regarding the conferring of duties about supervising the labeling of beef.

First listen ever to any music composed by Peter Ruzicka:

Spiral has some attractive ideas. Recherche (-im Innersten) starts out with orchestral blasts and textless choral interventions that I found tedious and devoid of any real musical interest, but the second, more lyrical section is turning out to be much more successful IMHO. Looking forward to the Liszt / Wagner inspired pieces, but am frankly underwhelmed so far   :(

Fahrvergnügen

The only German word you really need to know.

TD: Mahler 1, 1893 version (Hengelbrock). Extraordinary. I should compare it to the normal version but I think the opening sounded a lot less like Beethoven 4 than usual. H/T to Todd.

Kontrapunctus

I haven't listened to this CD in ages--my, what a fine player he is. Good sound, but there's a jarring edit in the 10th Sonata.

From their superb box of English polyphony.

Now:



A new acquisition. Listening to Symphony No. 1 in C minor, "The Bells of Zionice," B. 9. This may be only the second time I've heard this work. I'm really enjoying it. Wonderful melodies.

I finally got around to Tchaikovsky 5 in the Silvestri Icon box, because who needs to rush to hear yet another 5, when I have several great ones. Well, wow. This is really great one, somehow just a bit different without being eccentric, poised without losing intensity.

Update. That was sensational. You can sense his complete control, but it's always spontaneous.

Now, Liszt, Tasso. Quite fine.

Dvorak's 8th symphony again, because the other night wasn't enough.

I don't remember being as taken with it when I first bought the box in 2014. But now I'm really enjoying this work.
Nobody has to apologise for using their brain.
