good stuff - a very varied programme from the sheer beauty of Ethel Smyth's Romanze movement to the avant-gardness of Maconchy.

I picked these up and 3 others from the series recently at a Hospiscare, I have to say at £5 each they were and absolute bargain, mint condition and the recordings thus far have been excellent, some being with Yehudi Mehenuin and some well know players and orchestras. There were at least 8 others from the series, perhaps I should go back and get the rest.

One of my favourite albums, and has been for decades.
The Pictures at an Exhibition is good, and interestingly orchestrated by Leo Funtek rather than the standard Ravel.
But the standout is the Songs and Dances of Death, sung with amazing power and passion by Martti Talvela.

A friend lent me this saying you need to listen to this. I will pass that on to those here! It is a truly stunning piece, and is a wonderful listen. Hildegard Von Bingen was considered a true visionary and prophet of her time, and she it is understood some of her visions and prophecies form the Ordo virtutum.

A wonderfully relaxed and spacious Bruckner 4.

It's called the Scottish these days, never understood why Scotch was considered offensive maybe one of the Scottish contingent can explain.Quote:

I know that's the modern meaning but a long time ago it was used to describe the Scottish. I was wondering if it's an early example of PC.Quote:

I'm using Spotify's Recent Release feature for the first time.
Should have done so a long time ago!
2 and 4 from the just-released Brahms symphony cycle by Zehetmair.
Quite unusual interpretations - generally laidback and very lucid. The word minimalist comes to mind.
I enjoyed them a lot.

New release on ECM by Heinz Holliger on and around the music of contemporary composer Kurtag.
I can do without the (thankfully brief) poetry recitations in German (which I skipped) but the rest of the album is excellent.
