    What music are you consoling yourself with post referendum?

    Much as I adore English/British music, somehow this morning it does not seem appropriate.

    I started my day in defiance, with Shostakovich 5 and 9.
    I'm now needing more consoling and differently uplifting music, and have plumped for Copland's Appalachian Spring and, more specifically, the coupling on the CD I'm playing: The tender land suite, with its 'The promise of living'. It can make me well up at the best of times, so in this worst of times I know I'll need my tissues handy.

    What are you choosing to play today?

    To be honest, I now don't feel like listening to any music.

    I actually don't feel British anymore.

        I started last night, having spent some time getting my system to work again - it's not been working properly for weeks - with Nielsen (posted on the what are you listening to now, thread).

        I haven't really listened to too much music for various reasons during the last few weeks.

        Today it's:

        Colin McPhee: Tabuh-Tabuhan

        Roger Session: The Black Maskers

        Virgil Thomson: Symphony on a Hymn Tune

        Howard Hanson conducting the Eastman-Rochester Orchestra, Mercury Living Presence CD 434 310-2

          Well, it's Midsummer's Day anyway! I recommend something Swedish and pastoral - Larsson, Atterberg, Alfven, or French and pastoral - I think Debussy's Petite Suite to begin with.

                  I feel much the same. We're considering a move to Scotland.

                    The day is bad enough as it is without letting those rancid tur nips Gove, Johnson, Farage etc get between me and Music. So

                    Beethoven: Symphony #5 in c minor, op67; Chamber Orchestra of Europe - Harnoncourt

                    ... a huge V sign to the lot of 'em!

                        Caliban's choice of the Faure Requiem on Naxos Music Library (Accentus Chamber Choir, Equilbey on Naive). Yes, a very good recording** Details on #27


                        (**Piau's solo in Pie Jesu is acceptable to me - but, as on another thread, reaction to voices is a very personal thing..... ).

                          Milhaud: Cello Concerto No 1. Starker, Susskind, Philharmonia. How could one resist a movement marked "nonchalant"?

                              Mozart piano concertos here.
                              "...the isle is full of noises,
                              Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                              Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                              Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
