Merry Christmas everyone.
Following a prompt from TTN, I've been listening to Orpheus / Stravinsky. This had previously defeated me, but I'm happy to have made some progress. The narrative is a little complex, and it might have helped me greatly if there were DVDs available of a performance by a Ballet Company. However there seems to be very few, the only one I came across was an original Balanchine recording in Black and White, and in PAL format!

I'm currently listening to Barraqué's Le temps restitué, having listened to the first work - the Concerto - on this, the first disk of the complete works, a few hours previously. I think, if I had to pick a preferred piece out of the two it would be this one, I find his style is more attractive with a full orchestral forces, including much effective percussion writing and a choir. Maybe the klangfarbenmelodie works better with more timbres or perhaps the greater drama of crashing, glittering percussion contrasting with more chamber-like utterances helps. The last movement is a thing of beauty especially. There is a lot to Le temps restitué, I highly recommend it. I will certainly give the Concerto at least another listen, though, and see if I can warm to it more - I don't doubt some of its subtleties might have escaped me on first listen.

Today I listened to a large amount of Messiaen organ music: La Nativité du Seigneur, Live du Saint Sacrement, Mess de la Pentecôte and my favourite Livre d'orgue - in the recordings by Olivier Latry of course. And also more Graupner: various discs of Christmas cantatas on CPO.

Anybody ever heard it, or remember it ?
From about 1990 I think.
