Maderna conducts Stockhausen, Pousseur, Penderecki, & Earle Brown
|
| |
Some people on this list will undoubtedly remember three RCA Victrola LP’s with Bruno Maderna conducting entitled “The New Music,” volumes 1, 2, & 3. These discs were actually a reissue of a 3-LP Italian set entitled “Panorama della music nuova” ([Italian] RCA MLDS 61005), published in 1964. Sony has just reissued volume 1 in collaboration with Archiv Music. You can purchase it as a print-on-demand CDR from Archiv Music or as an mp3 download from Amazon.... more »

Berio conducts Sinfonia, Nones, Allelujah II, Concerto for 2 Pianos
|
| |
In collaboration with Archiv Music Sony has just reissued the first recording of Luciano Berio’s Sinfonia, the original 4-movement version, which was recorded by Columbia records on October 12, 1968, immediately after the world première with the same forces. Because RCA and Sony are now part of a single corporate entity, they have been able to include Berio’s RCA recordings of Nones, Allelujah II, and the Concerto for 2 pianos within the same release. Archiv and Sony are claiming that this is the first digital reissue of the RCA recordings. In fact, they were previously reissued on CD in Japan by Japanese RCA/BMG in collaboration with Japanese Tower Records. (Needless to say, the Japanese release is long gone along with Japanese RCA/BMG.) These recordings are available on a print-on-demand CDR from Archiv Music or as mp3 downloads from Amazon (link below):... more »

un-original music by David Rose
|
| |
I'm building up to a sort-of rhetorical question that I don't really expect an answer to.
There's a "wheel-spinning" * episode of "Bonanza" titled "The Tall Stranger". Hoss ** is in love with a young woman he's supposedly known all his life that the viewers have never seen. (This is typical TV-series plotting.)... more »

Guridi, Complete String Quartets (Naxos)
|
| |
An excellent issue, which I've just reviewed for 'zarzuela.net' - the Bret n String Quartet's pungent, characterful playing, plus immediate and detailed sound, make the new CD clear top choice for this beautiful pair of quartets.
The slow movement of the 2nd quartet (A minor, 1949) is heart-rendingly... more »

Markevitch Beethoven insanity
|
| |
I picked this box today [link]
at Tower records in downtown Fukuoka where I paid 3000 yen (about $29.50 at today's exchange rate). Not bad for 4 CDs with symphonies 1, 5, 6, 8 plus Leonore 3, Coriolan, Fidelio, Egmont, Consecration of the House overtures and a recorded interview with Markevitch, which I had not heard before.... more »

Windows Live Mail / WIndows 8
|

Installed Windows Live Mail in Windows 8. Subscribed to RMCR. Only have 295 messages, none from today. Can find a way to download more messages. Also when I sort on date, the messages are not sorted correctly. Same problem as in Thunderbird. Weird.
