I'm afraid my listening was all too soon interrupted by Billy Conolly, followed by The League of Gentleman on BBC TWO. I will try again, later. However, what I heard, intriqued. As improvised music goes, a world apart from either AMM or MEV.

Debussy, Preludes, Bk 1 Claudio Arrau. This is magical. I have had these recordings for years but one of the joys of enhanced equipment is being able to appreciate nuances in familiar recordings. Arrau has so many shading in dynamics and coloring in his tone that I feel I am learning the music afresh.

Sounds a nice collection of pieces, pasto - a pity that Mr Friedman had the part upside down on his Music Stand.
Me:
Krenek: Symphony #4; NDR Radiophilharmonie/Alun Francis
I've had the boxed set of the complete Symphonies for a couple of months now - just getting to know the individual works better by repeated playings. This is a really good piece (from 1947) - well worth the repeated hearings (and an astonishing similarity at the opening of the Scherzo, to, of all people, those of William Alwyn!!!) The Concerto Grosso from 20 years earlier with which the work is coupled is also very engaging - with a slow movement that has a depth of "feeling"/"sentiment" I hadn't previously associated with the composer's other work from this period. Great disc.
PS - this recording of the Symphony is (I should have guessed) YouTubable:
