So Zubin is common to both Berlin and Vienna Bruckner sets!

Well I’ve only listened to the 3rd suite (which is first up), and I’d second those comments absolutely. It’s gorgeous, full of bounce and life. A possible award winner? I’ll update this once I’ve actually managed to listen to it all.Originally posted by jayne lee wilson View PostMentioned this a few days ago on ds' RR Early Music thread...
Hope others are revelling in it as much as I have......glorious sound & performances....Comment

I hope I will be excused for drawing attention to this new release:
... which features my own world-line for electric lap steel guitar, trumpet, percussion and electronics, plus music by Timothy McCormack and Liza Lim. World-line is 33 minutes long and consists of fifteen overlapping movements. When I was introducing the first performance I made a connection with Beethoven's op.130/133 and op.131, since those works were in my mind (as they often are) while working on it even though the style of the music is about as far from Beethoven as it's possible to be - if the formulation "new music" has any meaning at all I would hope it could be applied to this piece.

"On Wednesday and Saturday" only, as the chap on the stall last Saturday told me when I offered to buy the four latest releases from him using my Debit Card - facilities for the use of which weren't available.

Two absolutely marvellous Alkan CDs - Yui Morishita (Esquisse) - from iTunes (as I'm not paying £30+ for a single CD from Japan) and Paul Wee's Symphony and Concerto disc on BIS.Best regards,

I haven't hear the Morishita, but I agree absolutely about Paul Wee on BIS. It's hard to believe that pianism is a pastime which he fits in between his day job is as a High Court barrister!Originally posted by Jonathan View PostComment

Having now listened to all of both discs, happy to confirm my initial impression. Really top class performances of the 4 JSB suites, life-enhancing. The two by second cousins are pleasant enough, but neither here nor there. I’d be interested to see how this new release stands up in a BaL. Very well, I’d expect.Originally posted by Goon525 View PostComment

I know that this new release will be a very welcome extra Xmas present for more than just me amongst the Forumistas:

Frank Denyer on Another Timbre
... and, for something completely different (and further to the Last Concert Thread), two releases that, again, I suspect will be of interest to at least some Forumistas (if they didn't already know about them):
(another timbre has a distinguished association with Denyer - he was the first named composer to have one of their CD releases dedicated to his work. Those earlier discs on the label are still available:

Streaming here now via QOBUZ (CD rate). The booklet pdf has the full libretto (German, French and English).Originally posted by ferneyhoughgeliebte View Post
So far, I find it more to my liking than either the JEG (pick and mix of 1805, 1806 and Fidelio) or the old but honourable Blomstedt. I wonder if anyone here can clear up the confusion on the Wikipedia item on Leonore/Fidelio. They have the famous Klemperer EMI/Warner set in both the Fidelio and 1806 Leonore categories. Where might someone have got the idea that it was the 1806 Leonore? As far as I was aware the MDG Soustrot recording was the one one of the 1806.Comment

Looking at new release reviews on the German klassik-heute site, I was struck by the picture of the pianist, Dina Ugorskaya, on the sleeve and the enthusiastic review. I duly listened to the Sonata on Spotify and did find it as the review had stated "ergreifend" (gripping), and really speaking to me. When I clicked on the Bestellen bei jpc link I discovered the sad background story that the artist, whom I had not previously known, had in September died of cancer, aged a mere 46, and this was her final recording. Devastatingly poignant to see the empty chair pictured on the back of the CD.Comment
