Another fine version of Kodály's cello music - one for you Haim, if you don't already have it.
Huw,
I do not have this disc. The only two versions I have are Starker's and the Phillips brothers:
It is rare for me to get three different versions of the same piece since there is so much music which I still don't have and prefer to pursue. My next purchase is probably going to be a piano disc of Emanuel Chabrier, a composer whose works I don't have at all. Tharaud used to have an excellent disc but unfortunately it is out of print. I might end up with Angella Hewitt or Alain Planes on Harmonia Mundi.
Damien Jurado "Saint Bartlett"
amazon review: "If you took the sound of Neil Young at his most darkly introspective and somehow melded it with the sound of Elliot Smith at his most tuneful you might come close to approximating Jurado's sound."

JR: " Exploration is a solitary thing. It's never about finding, it's about looking. Atlantis, Eldorado, the source of the Nile --- the people who made those explorations did them because that's who they were. Exploration is a metaphor for our lives, which are solitary. And that's terrifying "

Sinika Langeland
From the Guardian.
This collection of Norwegian folk songs devoted to the Virgin Mary is another unexpected gem from ECM, which pioneered recordings by Keith Jarrett, Arvo Pärt, György Kurtág and eclectic others, acknowledging no boundaries in music. Sung by Sinikka Langeland, who also plays the 15-string Finnish kantele, these hymn-songs are wrapped around Bach, on solo viola or organ. If you can set aside purist tendencies, or enjoyed ECM's collaboration between Jan Garbarek and the Hilliard Ensemble, the disc has a delicate appeal. The sound of the violin chaconne played on viola and transposed to a darker G minor, interwoven with Langeland improvising a keening, open-throated Ave Maria, proves strangely persuasive.

Jerry Joseph & the Jackmormons "Into the Lovely"
" Take a run round the cannery
Smells like death and fish today
What's left of humanity floats lifeless out here in the bay
Maybe I'll get a place round here
Two bedrooms and a sunset deck
Food is good, the ocean's near, enough to keep my soul in check
But I won't have a telephone
So no one can tell me how you are
Thousand miles from your home "

Peter Case "Wig"
really enjoying this new release from PC, good stuff
from amazon: "Rooted deep in folk, rock, and blues traditions, Case has created a thoroughly modern recording that could be considered a sign of the times, a product not only of his own illness, but the sickness of a society beset with "The Great Recession." Case himself describes it this way: "'Wig!' It's not just a way of life, it's an explosive reaction against the tension of living in an insane century".
