I'm trying to identify the conductor on Dennis Brain's first recording of Mozart's fourth horn concerto (K 495) with the Halle orchestra.
On its first issue the 'Record Guide' said the name of the conductor had been 'reprehensibly' omitted, and so it was on the 10" Columbia LP, on which it was coupled with Brain's first recording of the second concerto with the Philharmonia orchestra and Walter Susskind.
I thought it may heve been discovered and printed in the notes to one of the numerous CD reissues of this recording (e.g.the 'Icon' box). Can anyone help?

QOBUZ concurs with Sargent 1 & 2 and Turner 3.

Last night's TtN featured Prokofiev's 2nd Violin Sonata which I had always understood to have been an arrangement by the composer himself of his Flute Sonata However the online listing claims the arrangement was by David Oistrakh. Is this just another case of bogus attribution by the Beb's schedule compilers or have the musical historians got it wrong until now?
Ah, it appears that Prokofiev has assistance from Oistrakh in making his transcription of the Flute sonata for violin and piano. Presumably, they were both in Perm at the time. That's where Prokofiev is cited as being while making the arrangement.

What is Moment Form? Is Messiaen’s catalogue d’oiseaux an example? Debussy’s Jeux? Someone suggested Stravinsky’s Symphonies for Winds is an example too.
The reason I ask is that when I try to investigate it, I keep coming across the idea that it was “invented” by Stockhausen. Yet when I look at the definitions, I think I can find much earlier examples.Last edited by Mandryka; 20-04-23, 10:10.

What is Smooth Time? As opposed to Striated Time? Is it just music without an audible pulse? So, for example, something in Smooth Time would be . . . Fragmente Stille, an Diotima maybe.
