Off The Beaten Track

[Beef Oven!]

I Suppose that Stockhausen is off the beaten track, really.

Can't pretend that I Really understand this at its deepest levels, but its a nice change from Xmas carols.

Excellent choice

And yes, Karlheinz is off the beaten track

Depends on which track you are talking about
Middle of the road for some folks (cheep cheep)

From Tim Rutherford-Johnson's Blog The Rambler, I learnt today of the recent death of a composer whose name and work I'd not previously encountered. Links to youTube videos were given, including one of this playful, life-affirming piece for Piano and Recorder(s):

What a diverse sounding instrument the recorder is!

I subsequently listened to Along the shores of Lorn, whose latter day setting is infused not unappealingly, with something of the atmospheres of The Sorcerer's Apprentice and The Miraculous Mandarin I thought.

The inherent danger in driving in the middle of the road - namely the likelihood of an accident with vehicles driving on either side thereof - has long since made me wonder why the term "middle of the road" has been used to describe certain kinds of music...

Otto Klemperer

String Quartets 3 & 7

Luc was a good friend of mine. He was also an intrepid pianist in his earlier days. We first met at the Darmstadt courses in the summer of 1984 - I'd been trying to interest pianists on the course there to play a piece I'd brought along, without any success until Luc arrived three days before the concert and learned the score sitting in the cafeteria with a supply of cognac and cigars. Don't miss his Talisker - it's a prime example of his exceptional facility for sonic invention. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CDkZ6TdHHQ

That is seriously good. I will come back to it again - thanks for posting it.

So sad that he died quite young from that wicked disease.

I'm not familiar with the work, so I can't say. I've always found Col Legno releases to be quite good. Tidy little label
