Omen is showing us the proper way to write CD.

I took advantage of a 25% off sale by Chandos of its film music titles (valid until the end of July) to buy three ?ç'D!"'s2 I had been meaning to get for a while.  I am reasonably familiar with the music of Malcolm Arnold and William Alwyn, but know very little of Mischa Spoliansky.
 
I love Chandos's film music series.  There are some great discoveries in there from mostly (although by no means all) British composers and films from back in the day.

I'm as floored as the rest of you! I knew from social media that Alex Ross had chatted w/ JW back in February, but had no idea about the content of their interview, or that the maestro himself apparently leafed through my catalogue. 
 
I can't imagine the "online fan sites" Ross says Williams is "delighted" by could be anything other than JWfan. It means a lot, even in just this small way, to know that JW is aware of all the passion and interest his music has inspired in this little community.
 

It is very fitting that the clip was posted to Twitter by a Padre Ramirez.  Tuco's brother, perhaps?

I uploaded my own DVD rip of the great, essential 1958 televised performance of Appalachian Spring by Martha Graham and her company.  Hopefully it doesn't get removed or something for copyright.
 
 
 
For a decade this performance has only been on Youtube as a 4 part upload with a really disconcerting, choppy framerate.  So now at least it's up in good quality and in one single video.
 
 

I rarely care about football, but I appreciate this:
 
 

I was very saddened to hear of Ennio Morricone's passing this morning.  He was truly one of the great composers of the last sixty years or so (and not just film composers) with a seemingly bottomless well of inspiration and genius from which to draw.
 
I had the good fortune to see him conduct his music in concert six or seven times in London, including his first UK concert at the Barbican in 2001.  I have particularly fond memories of his concert at the Hammersmith Apollo in 2006, as it was one that I took my Mum to see.  She died on this day two years ago.
 
Of all the wonderful pieces of music he wrote, the one that keeps going around my head today is the theme from La Ragion Pura - a typically gorgeous Morricone melody with ghostly trumpets (Morricone's instrument) interjecting in another key, as if commenting from another world.
 
RIP Maestro.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Morricone arranged some songs on Aznavour's two first Italian albums.
 

Ennio Morricone, Charles Aznavour and Sergio Leone.
