weekends listening (the new stuff)


In order of preference:


Ockeghem: Requiem (actually 'Mass for the dead' or something)

Like this, must find more. It's on Archiv, performers include James Bowman. What else to lookout for?


Bruckner: 7th symphony

No really, never listened to a whole symphony before, pleasantly surprised. Is this a composer people object to who don't like Wagner or Mahler either?


Pfizner: Songs for baritone & orchestra

Encouraging enough to want to play the opera that's sitting on the shelf


Rachmaninov: Vespers

A wonderful sound, just kept wondering why it wasn't in Latin...


Tippet: Child of our time

First time I've listened to this all the way through, this is the sort of Tippet I like


Dutilleux/Lutoslawski: Cello Concerto

Similar reaction to both of these: though I enjoyed much of the solo writing I just didn't get what the orchestra was up to and why they kept interupting



Tippet:Triple concerto

The only one I gave up on (twice). The sort of Tippet I don't like.
