Irish?

I haven't a dickens of an idea.

I've just been listening to CD25, i.e. Yvonne Minton. It has 11 tracks, 1 - 9 being Le Marteau: 10/11 are the two movements of Livre pour Cordes. In their attempt to replicate the original, Sony have reproduced the LP sleeve as the CD sleeve. The LP sleeve refers to Sides 1 and 2, hence the possible confusion in relation to the CD. The book which accompanies the box sets out on Page 74 the contents of CD25.

Yes, the confusion re, CD 25 arises, I feel sure, from the disc label itself, which reproduces that of the first side of the relevant LP. The same applies, for instance, to CD 3, and indeed all those discs the content of which first appeared on LP.. CD 62 does not derive from an original LP issue, so the problem does not arise.

By the way, don't forget the other "wonderful Boulez box" with two recordings of Le Marteau sans Maître:



and two recordings of Messiaen's Oiseaux exotiques, to boot!
