"Listening to" is perhaps stretch it, but Satie's Vexations (Jeroen van Veen) as wallpaper music, having today burned the 7digital 16-bit FLACs of van Veen's complete recording to a recordable DVD.

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Schreker: Die Ferne Klang; Grigorescu, Harper, Hagen Opera/Halasz (Marco Polo/Naxos, 1989)

I've been playing this quite a few times over the past month. The story's as batty as they come, but the Music is terrific - pretty good performance on this thirty-year-old recording, too.

Just heard the 6th. Still not totally enamoured by this work. Despite the very good recording and performance.

I tend to agree - it hasn’t the allure of 3 4 5 or 7!
