What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.IX)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2013
With 2013 upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread. I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.
Anyway, links:

Original 1982 Fetish vinyl
2 x CD : )
Some extraordinary tracks on it; highly recommended
John Oswald's extraordinary "Grayfolded" (geddit?) - 100 minutes of music entirely made up of extracts from live versions of the Grateful Dead's "Dark Star" from '66 to '93.
Symphonies 1 and 2, which are the first two out of five on disc 1. Which is the first out of 33 discs. Expect to see this image a lot for the next year or so. Or, rather, I won't bore you with it so expect to see less postings

A couple of discs inroads...
All 103 symphonies, plus alternative versions, plus a couple of unpublished ones - recorded within the span of a few years. You'd think these were recorded by the yard, but that's absolutely not the case! Even the early works are highly varied and it's been just a joy to encounter these works for the first time. I've also sampled some of the London symphonies, and just love how Dorati keeps things from getting stale. His way is unadorned, letting the music speak for itself, and full of life. Tempi are on the whole slower than what we are used to, which I guess can make these performances feel old fashioned. So be it. If I didn't have other versions already, I would not be tempted to go and look for them.
Cheers,

On CD
Rush - A Farewell To Kings
On CD from the Discovery box set
Pink Floyd - A Momentary Lapse Of Reason
This recording sheds light on a hitherto unknown aspect of the output of Buxtehude’s works. All the pieces are linked by the leitmotiv of the ciaccona, an ostinato bass figure which gives the music an infectiously joyful, driving strength and forms the ideal basis for free improvisatory playing in the upper parts.
Larry Coryell - Spaces. Musician's musician. Enough!
