Recommended, to anyone who's interested in Rubbra's music.
(The Britten discs in that box are also available individually - probably "Used" - the Lucretia excerpts [which I first owned on an MfP LP] coupled with excerpts from Peter Grimes in the "original cast recording" from 1946. Both excellent.)[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]

I remember my father telling me he had seen Rubbra and his piano trio give a concert at an army camp during the war. I realised that I didn't have any of his music in my collection and started clicking the links offered. This led me to surf around a bit, not knowing what I was looking for and happened upon this Lyrita disc which has taken my fancy ... for several reasons, alongside my father's reminiscence: I love song discs. The programme is unusual and intriguing. I read a very positive review. We saw Tracey Chadwell deliver a lovely recital in a small local venue (a sequence of songs from the Middle Ages to the 20th cent). She died tragically young in her 30s in 1996 and the recital made a lasting impression. I think I might end up getting the disc.

I've been listening to some music by the Swiss composer Hans Ulrich Lehmann (1937-2013) who was not much more than a name to me, having been the director of the music academy in Zürich for over twenty years, and I suspect is probably not even that to most members of this forum. I was particularly impressed by dis-cantus 1 (1971) for oboe and strings, in a recording played by Heinz Holliger, which occupies a high-density world somewhere between Ligeti and Ferneyhough. I suppose it could be said that Lehmann doesn't add so very much to what we know about the music produced by his generation of European composers, but this music is imaginative and often striking, and by no means just musique contemporaine ordinaire. Not much stuff on Youtube, I see, and only one CD on Qobuz...

As can be seen at the bottom of the review, this was originally an ASV release.
Well done to Lyrita for adopting it!

... moving on now for the first time to Michael Gielen conducting Das Lied von der Erde, a recording I was initially suspicious of, given that the tenor songs (with Siegfried Jerusalem) were recorded ten years before the others (with Cornelia Kallisch) and in a different venue. Well: I don't think I would have noticed if I hadn't read it in the booklet. Not after the first two songs anyway, but now it's time to stop writing and concentrate.

Hmm, with live coverage of the George Bush funeral turning up on the BBC News channel (Nearer, My God to Thee being played), I am prompted to listen to Ives's 4th Symphony. Now, which recording to spin? I reckon the one not currently listed on amazon.co.uk, other than in mp3 format, that with the Ensemble Modern Orchestra, conducted by John Adams.
