I bought a copy of this BRILLIANT 10-disc set for £9 recently (cue somebody mentioning they bought it new from their local drug dealer for 50p in 1990). In theory I'm just spinning the) discs to check for blemishes (none so far), but there's so much in this Music that insists I stop whatever else I'm doing and PAY ATTENTION!
Lovely playing, and lovely instrumental timbres, too.
Next up here Bach played by Vikingur Olafsson ( proper name that ,) which was recommended to me whilst on my hols.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.

Due to a mixture of a holiday break and other distractions, I failed to listen at the time of broadcast, and then forgot all about it until yesterday when I found it on a hard drive with the dreaded "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error" which I was sorting out. Thank goodness for the occasional disc error.

Not normally a fan of "curated" playlists but I have succumbed to the rather imaginative Qobuz "Americas" playlist. Alongside the more familiar Ives, Harris & Bernstein are Carter's nuggety Variations for Orchestra, Cage's hypnotic Litany for the Whale, and assorted miscellany running the gamut from the pioneering composer Paine's rather beautiful 1st symphony to Babbitt via Ruggles and Feldman. Much nourishing fare and far more imaginative than that which a certain music festival has been serving up recently. All in excellent performances; in hi res sound moreover.
