Spinning Today (Classical version)

Sunleif Rasmussen.
An interesting and varied selection of his music on this recording.
A bit off the beaten track, and a bit challenging in terms of tonality.

Eduard Tubin's 3rd symphony has rather surprised me. I had regarded him as a tepid kind of composer, but this is rousing stuff!

Perfect relaxing listening for when you've got a cold, a headache and, in fact, ache all over!

4 volumes of this - about 10 hours in total.

This is a marvellous recording by Claudio Colombo of the amazing keyboard partitas by Bach.

The violin concerto "Gurdjieff" by contemporary Oz composer Larry Sitsky is quite special.
Great sq, too.

Here's a part of it on Youtube

Thierry Lancino's Requiem.

HUGE piece in terms of musical forces.
It gets off to an unfortunate start. 7 interminable minutes of the mezzo soloist declaiming about something or other. Sheesh, get on with it woman. She seems quite upset at times.
Ah, 2nd mvt and we are heavily influenced by Ligeti - this is more like it!

The Dies Irae certainly lets loose.

Those averse to 20thC avantgarde tonalities are hereby warned.

20thC French choral, though, folks - Faure - Durufle - I know how much you love it.

For me, it's enjoyable enough taken 2 or 3 mvts at a time. The entire 70 minutes or so is a bit of a stretch at a single sitting.
