Nice Bartok!

mzzmz:

I've listened many conductors' of this piece. Reiner was the best having the great drive. incredible that he commissioned it then got it completely.
Avatar ♥ 8:36pm
Kurt Gottschalk:

mzz, i didn't realize it was his commission! interesting.
  8:36pm
mzzmz:

some modern recordings have painfully obvious pasting at some sections. this 1958 recording was live as it should. pretty amazing.
Avatar ♥ 8:39pm
Kurt Gottschalk:

yeah, i've long loved it, although to be honest it's been ages since i've listened to it. something just struck me this week to play it.

whhops Reiner wasn't the once commsisioned it. my bad.

Dean:

This is a sorely needed breath of fresh air. I wish I'd tuned in earlier. The BoaC folks are channeling latter day King Crimson.
Avatar ♥ 9:03pm
Kurt Gottschalk:

dean, jah, i was thinking this had a crimson hue too.
Avatar ♥ 9:05pm
TDK60:

How do, was just over in the blues show...
  9:05pm
Dean:

And I don't even like latter day KC, but this is a refreshing piece. Kinda fun that it's a "capriccio" of mourning.
Avatar ♥ 9:07pm
Kurt Gottschalk:

welcome over to the other side, tdk.

dean, written after the death of a friend and inspired by bach's "capriccio on the departure of a beloved brother" according to the notes - a piece i'm not familiar with by that name.
  9:09pm
Dean:

Nor I. Have to look that one up. Among my most favorite pieces is Buxtehude's Klaglied for his departed father. It is *not* a capriccio.
  9:12pm
Dean:

Here's the marvelous Tureck performing that Bach "Capriccio": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIxxnEkOjf0

How have I not heard this before?
Avatar ♥ 9:13pm
Kurt Gottschalk:

i listened to my whole box set of every single goddamned extant bach composition so presumably i've heard it, but i can't remember them all...
  9:14pm
Dean:

There are Bach compositions, "Bach" compositions, and Bach "compositions." That's a hard corpus to nail down.
Avatar ♥ 9:14pm
TDK60:

there's a box set of /all/ of Bach? How many boxes?
  9:15pm
Dean:

Didn't Telefunken try something like that one hell of a long time ago?
Avatar ♥ 9:16pm
Kurt Gottschalk:

dean, indeed.

tdk, it's 155 discs in a box that can't support the weight.
Avatar ♥ 9:17pm
TDK60:

..even Bach is finite (but doesn't seem so!)..
Avatar ♥ 9:18pm
Kurt Gottschalk:

the same label -- brilliant classics -- has a mozart set that's even bigger. but then you're stuck with mozart.
  9:21pm
Dean:

Ah, Brilliant. I just acquired a 26CD box of recorder music. "Hey, everybody! I'm having a party! Wait 'til you hear what I'm playing."

"...stuck with Mozart." One day, Kurt, you'll come to appreciate him. Really, Mozart gets a very bad rap these (and in earlier) days. Listen to him.
Avatar ♥ 9:22pm
northguineahills:

Still doesn't hold a torch of John Zorn and co's 500 disc set from mostly live sets in China in 90s (mostly w/ Yamataka Eye). I only saw it advertised in the Wire once 20 years ago....
Avatar ♥ 9:23pm
northguineahills:

cthulhulu knows what they included for that much material....
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:24pm
chresti:

I don't think I'd mind a party with recorder music
  9:25pm
Dean:

Come on over, chresti! It's marvelous. Starts with solo stuff by, naturally, Van Eyck, moves into some German and Italian stuff, Vivaldi (admittedly, a hard sell, due to market saturation), but nothing "modern," sadly.
Avatar ♥ 9:27pm
northguineahills:

I have a bunch of recorders, but over the years, they seem to break (I sometimes get percussive w/ my instruments live).
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:32pm
chresti:

The only recorder music I remember hearing was of a elementary school recorder band, I think, could of been a high school band
  9:34pm
Dean:

I have a few recorders and a good deal of recorder music. I once traveled to Europe to traipse around with Rene Clemencic's Consort. His "Et Ses Flutes" LP is an essential record for recorder admirers.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:35pm
chresti:

wow, sounds like fun!
Avatar ♥ 9:37pm
Kurt Gottschalk:

dean, i've listened, i have.

i love telemann's recorder music, tho.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:39pm
chresti:

This is lovely, thanks Kurt!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:39pm
SeanG:

tune in, turn on, drop out, locked in
  9:42pm
Dean:

I adore Telemann, my favorite "boring" composer. A DJ in LA, Jim Svejda used to devote shows to Telemann's music precisely because he can't stand it. I loved those shows, because I in fact love Telemann, played well or badly, and because Svejda was unrelentingly critical, which was fun.

But Mozart deserves ongoing attention. Dark, dark stuff, beautiful, touching, scary, mind-bending...I don't often listen to his work, but just enough to recall how moving and gorgeous it remains.
Avatar ♥ 9:45pm
Kurt Gottschalk:

maybe one day one of us will change our minds about mozart, dean. or maybe not.
  9:46pm
Dean:

Heh, I've changed my mind about Mozart many times.
