This is the 3rd December in a row that it's been part of my December listening rotation and I'd say it's permanently lodged there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,534 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I wonder if he liked a bit of the old in-out, in-out? I'm currently listening to some random bloke, on BBC Radio 3. He played Uranus, which, for me, was a tad too fast, but at least the organ cut through, at the climax. He then moved on to THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, and arrangement of Enjoy The Silence, which turned a great pop song into a kind of Gregorian chant. Mesmerising. He's now playing something called THE UNANSWERED QUESTION, by Ives. Spooky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Guernsey 2,286 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Martinu - Violin Concertos, Bamberger Symphony, with Frank Peter Zimmermann as soloist. Forgot how much I really love Martinu and these are really lovely concertos. Not super flashy (like most Martinu) but endlessly enjoyable. Shchedrin - Carmen Suite and Concertos for Orchestra 1 & 2, Pletnev conducting the Russian National Orchestra. Recommendation from a friend. Not sure I get what Shchedrin was trying to do with the Carmen Suite, but it's an enjoyable orchestral distillation/interpretation of Bizet's opera. The two early concertos for orchestra are fun, although his later, longer ones are more satisfying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Guernsey 2,286 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 After my rush of Jerry listening this week, I went back to some of his inspiration and listened to Bartok's Miraculous Mandarin, from the 5 CD Living Presence set, which really does sound amazing for its age (if only so many soundtracks of that vintage had been preserved so magnificently - and that's not a slight on those doing the restorations, just a factor of the recording tech at the time and tape storage options). A friend used to tease me at school as to whether I'd "listened to any Bartok recently" at which time I really hadn't (it was full on JW, James Horner, Jerry, Alan Menken etc.) but since discovered Bartok and now love his work. The Concerto for Orchestra, of course, but also the Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste, both of which are masterpieces.

Mass exodus of people from the show at that time (it's when pretty much all the original cast left except for Chevy Chase who of course quit after 1 season).
