The only Polish composer I really NEVER want to hear again is Gorecki (especially that tedious and boring symphony of sorrowful thongs).

Today's selection was the 'hybrid' (Dresden & Paris version elements present) Tannhäuser - Wolfgang Sawallisch conducting at Bayreuth. Two points- 1) Anja Silja (as Elizabeth) is very fine. 2) I still think "Tannhäuser" is the most accessible of the 'canonical' Wagner operas!

Hawk, I've not heard of Charles Avison, I must snuffle them out. I heard a rarely performed Swedish violin concerto on Monday morning, Atterberg was the composer, from memory.

Anyhoooo I'm currently listening to Vierne's 5th Symphony with my volume up quite loud. Must be irking my neighbours: "Bah" I say to them.

David here's a little taste. This is from his 12 concertos after D. Scarlatti's harpsichord sonata.
If you like it there is a recording by Cafe' Zimmerman which is superb!!!

Right now:



Listening to "Symphony No. 4." A truly great reading of this symphony.

I'm currently listening to an extended variation on 4'23" (but it's my own composition this time, not the famous Americans).
