Spinning Today (Classical version)

Yes, excellent pianist and great Bach player.

Try this one for something a little different ... well, OK, quite a lot different from track 2!

Yes I listened to this the other day, not nearly so keen on it!

Well AoS member came to listen to my speakers yesterday and brought a bunch of CD's and his amp (very nice valve amp).

I was rather taken by this piece of music, he actually gave me it as he has several versions of it, most kind. tHe is considering whether to have my speakers.

I have rather surprised myself as choral work is not usually my bag, the occasion Gregorian Chant maybe, however this by Carlo Gesualdo I find rather stunning. The Tallis Scholars perform it beautifully in Walpole St Peters, Norfolk. The vocal interplay and tricks are lovely. To me it sounds as if just two microphones were used position just above and in front of the performers, the ambience of the church certainly comes through.

If you like choral works and have not heard this then it is well worth a listen, after all if it did get the attention of an old rocker like me it must be good.

The Tallis Scholars were at the pinnacle of early choral music performance when I was at school, I wonder how their stunning recordings on Gimmel stand up now to more recent fare.

I would have thought pretty well, I don’t see how you could improve them, changing them or trying to interpret in a different way I think it would not work somehow.

Having another listen to this lovely piece of music.

This is a marvellous piece of music and beautifully played, I have this and two of the other Richard Strauss recordings by Fabio Luisi and they are all stunning.

A couple of LPs picked up in a charity shop, in excellent condition for £1:


Bruckner – ‘String Quintet in F major

Amadeus Quartet DGG 138 963 (1965)

Rather enjoyed this. Until now I was only familiar with Bruckner’s late symphonies.


Carl Nielsen – ‘String Quartets Nos. 2 & 3’

Decca Turnabout TV 34109DS (1968)

Always find Nielsen a bit of a challenge, and these are no different. Preferred the 3rd to the 2nd, but that was on first listening. It deserves further listening.

An "event" on 4th Feb this year, where Chinese spy network Huawei (oops, sorry, I mean mobile phone and communications company) collaborated with composer and musicians to complete Schubert's 8th symphony.

From what I can gather, the Huawei AI chip invented some themes based on the 1st 2 completed movements and sketches for the last two and the composer guy orchestrated them into complete movements.

This YouTube vid was clearly taken by an audience member.
The music starts around 5m00s.
