    Could be dismissively classed as belonging to the ‘bleeps and bloops’ school of electronic composition.
    I have a Morton Subotnik recording and I happily dismiss it with extreme prejudice. I am not yet at v2.0 where I can enjoy it

    Both the artist and the piece were new to me.
    At the Manchester Hifi Show yesterday I was in the Brodmann room in front of their extremely handsome VC7 speakers. The Austrian chap asked us all if we were okay to listen to some classical music and put on this...

    Bruch: Kol Nidrei, Op. 47 as played by Friedrich Kleinhapl on Cello

    Well I considered it not only a beautiful piece of music but also an excellent demo.
    Tonight I have just downloaded two Kleinhapl CDs from Presto Classical - including this. Lovely and a well spent £20

    Lyrics are the ramblings of man, sometimes inspired by The Creator, most often, not.
    But music (melodies, harmonies, rhythms), that's God stuff.
    Always was. Always will be.


    One of the biggest lies ever told was that only certain kinds of people should listen to certain kinds of music.

    I listened to the 1st symphony last night. What a fine piece. ... it continues to grow and grow on me.
    And excellent sq, too.

    _____

    Mahler 5 - the search for a truly great recording continues. I have over a dozen in my collection, but somehow none are excellent in all ways.

    This is surprisingly good, Wit was a very fine conductor --



    Shame there isn't a bit more bite to the bass.

    followed by the 5th from this set --



    Hmm. This may be my fave of those I have heard.
    The 1970s sq is a little bit forward and unsubtle, but loads of oomph and definition.
    And Levine is a wonderful Mahlerian.

    Any suggestions for a great Mahler 5?

    (I have Boulez, Abbado (Chicago), Abbado (DVD, Lucerne), Abravanel, Litton (live off radio), Barenboim, Inoue, Zander, Nanut, Morris, Rattle plus the above mentioned two).

    Hmm, I have the Abbado and Rattle plus at least a couple more. I'll check them out.
