Some wonderful Telemann issues recently, especially the Simphonie du Marais, Chameleon & Countertenor Cantatas here.....
https://www.qobuz.com/gb-en/composer...?s=rdc#results
Chameleon has wonderful chamber music much of which I hadn't heard before (but there's always a lot of Telemann we haven't heard before...
I lost some appetite for listening under the grey skies recently, but Telemann, and Baroque generally often help get it back....Comment

You clearly do indeed move in the wrong circles. Feldman's music, like the man himself, can be something of a Marmite analogue, but most of those I know who have some familiarity with his music would fall within the remit of "fan". Issues surrounding his relationship with Ms. Marcus do make the work in question somewhat problematic, but if the listener is unaware of such problems, the work holds many rewards for the attentive listener.Originally posted by cloughie View PostComment

I'm a "fan"of his music too, although, having encountered him on a number of occasions and finding him a really quite unappealing character, I only became one after he fell off the twig, and I wasn't surprised at all to learn of his abusive behaviour. His music communicates delicacy and subtlety in a way he himself seemed the very antithesis of. Anyway, Aki Takahashi's recording is no doubt going to be well worth listening to. Her recording of Piano and String Quartet with the Kronos is certainly my most often-played Feldman CD.Originally posted by Bryn View PostComment

The photos I've seen of him would suggest that he's rather too big a chap to sit on a twig!Originally posted by Richard Barrett View Post

As some here will have seen from a very recent round robin from eclassical, the newly released BIS recording of Leifs's Edda II is on offer at the out and out bargain price of £8.01 for 24 bit stereo, 24 bit 5.0 surround, 16 bit stereo and mp3 stereo download (with artwork and booklet pdf) from https://www.eclassical.com/conductor...a-part-ii.html
Despite having purchased an advance copy of the SACD, early last month, I have also opted for the download for playback sans SACD player. Highly recommended.Comment

Seems quite a decent bargain if one wants that piece. Presto's price seems more - https://www.prestomusic.com/classica...es-of-the-gods - and it's not clear that they have the surround sound download.Originally posted by Bryn View PostComment

I think I made a mistake in trying to download the 96/24 stereo FLAC zip now. It's progressing painfully slowly. I will wait until after midnight before trying the 96/24 surround zip.Originally posted by Dave2002 View PostComment

The slow download rate turned out to be a WiFi problem. Via a network cable, the transfers took mere seconds. If also considering getting Edda Part I, bear in mind the unlike Part II, the highest sample rate is 44.1kHz. It also costs nearly twice as much for the download, so the SACD is probably the better option.Originally posted by Bryn View PostComment

This has just appeared - a recording from 1984 of Jorg Demus playing Schumann on an 1835 Graf. It's been issued by MDG to mark the pianist's death last April. Not the old DHM recordings of him that I am still longing for on CD, but I'll be snapping this one up anyway.
