Recomposed by Max Richter. Vivaldi. The Four Seasons.
I usually avoid these 'Recomposed' CDs like the plague but I came across this in a charity shop this afternoon. It's very listenable. Having played the original version well over a 100 times I really lost interest in the work but this is awakening my desire to hear the real version again.
If only someone had recorded it...

John White: "Piano Sonatas Volume II (Later Sonatas)" played by Jonathan Powell (Blüthner piano) - 96/24 downloads. Officially released today.
I have loved these little gems since first hearing most of them at either the composer's 70th birthday celebrations at Wilson's Music Hall or various recitals at Schott Music and other London venues. Here they sparkle even more than in those earlier encounters. Due to the late hour, I can only listen at a rather low volume level but the recording appears to have captured the bloom of the piano very well. It was also well worth having paid the extra £2 to get 96/24 but I think the law of diminishing returns mitigates against forking out a further £2 to get the 192/24 option.

Just finished listening to/watching a work new to me - the Piano Quintet by Carl Frühling in a performance by Stephen Hough and the Castalian Quartet at the Wigmore Hall on Tuesday. Not a life-changing experience or musical revelation, but a pleasant enough piece. The slow movement is very graceful and the last movement put me very much in mind of Dvorak.

Maderna Violin Concerto.
Myriam Dal Don/Milano G.Verdi SO/Gorli. Stradivarius CD.
Nielsen Violin Concerto.
Znaider/NYPO/Gilbert. Da Capo SACD/CD.
Favourite concertos in very contrasted sound - Maderna thrillingly immediate and vivid, Nielsen very spacious, set back, atmospheric.... but with a remarkably imaginative solo contribution...
