Originally posted by pastoralguy View PostI always smile when I pull this set out since the liner notes say that the Hagen Quartet played these works over successive evenings at the Edinburgh Festival. However, I was there and the concerts were in the morning! (I remember going backstage and the wonderful Veronika Hagen threw her arms around me having mistaken me for someone else! She was very apologetic but I managed to forgive her! )

He seems to be quite good in Messiaen, but althought he's undoubtedly an accomplished conductor I've never been impressed by his performances.

Debussy: Chansons de Bilitis, Twelve Poems after Pierre Louys (Vera Zorina, Columbia Chamber Ensemble, Robert Craft)
from Qobuz, who quite wrongly identify the Debussy work as the Trois Chansons de Bilitis, which it is not. Slapped wrist for the France-based service.
I originally got this recording on LP in a W H Smith sale, back in the early 1970s. It uses the Boulez reconstruction of the celesta part and was the first recording of the work. This new 192/24 high-definition remastering is a great improvement.
