I had hoped to upload a few other things this weekend, but there just
hasn't been time to work on much of anything.

I don't think these particular recordings have ever been reissued. If
anyone can help with the recording dates, I'd love to know them.

Olivier Messiaen:

01 Vingt Regards No. 10 Esprit de Joie
02 Vingt Regards No. 15 Le Baiser de L'Enfant Jesus
03 Preludes Nos. 1 & 3
04 Prelude No. 5

Pathe PDT 170, 113, 132
Preludes: 1)La Colombe 3)Le mombre Leger 5)Le Sons Impalpabler du Reve

Yvonne Loriod, piano

There's a needle jump on one of the Vingt Regards that I could not
eliminate, sorry.

I'm relatively new to the world of vinyl, turntables, cartridges, and
styluses (styli?). I am using a couple old turntables, a Dual 1257 and
a Dual 1264, both of which have Audiotechnica cartridges and styli. I
think one stylus is an ATP2N, and the other is an ATP102. My question
is what are the signs that a stylus needs to be replaced? Just physical
inspection for damage, skipping, sound, or what? I'd appreciate any
tips of any links to information to educate myself a bit about this.

In one of my "return to the lp's" moods, I replayed an lp of Jorge
Bolet playing the Liszt "Lucia Di Lammermoor", "Chor der
Spinnerinnen" ( Flying Dutchman) , and "Rigoletto" opera paraphrases,
and transcriptions of Schubert's "Die Forelle" and "Standchen",
Chopins' "Meine Freuden" and " Madchens Wunsch", and Schumann's
"Widmung" and "Fruhlingsnacht."

Fidelio lp FL 3333,noted as an Ensayo, S.A. recording licensed to
Sound Products in Holland, "processed in " Hungary. Whew !! At least
it got done.Ity says I can play it with either a mono or stereo
cartridge ( remember "cartridges" ? ).

At risk of being rebuked, this playing seems for me an almost direct
link to the playing of Rosenthal , at least to the limited extent we
glimpse Rosenthal's playing. Effortless technique,grandeur,infinite
dynamic range,golden sound, freedom yet structure, no detail too small
to notice, no long line obscured by indulgance, emotion communicated
but focused.Bravo !!

When and under what circumstances recorded ? The liner notes as usual
are silent.

Francis ?

Nobody in r.m.c.r gives a fraction of a flying fuck about your gibbering
rants regarding Morein, or Lessout, or Fewerbetween, or whatever.

GO AWAY!

SHOO!

SCAT!

RAUS MIT DIR!

(Maybe it's something about the name "Harrington" that breeds assholes?)

Name the ten people who have won the grand slam of show-biz:

Grammy

Do not look in Parade Magazine for the answer

Second question from the same source:

How many motions has the lawyer for the indicted R. Kelly made to
prevent his client form going to trial?

A lengthy Sibelius symphony review in last J-F's FANFARE made some
comments about the first complete Sibelius cycle recorded by Sixten
Ehrling in the early 1950s. I checked the RMCR archive for the period
when the reissue of these symphonies occurred and found very little
comment. Jon Bell and Marc Perman I think were the only persons to say
they had acquired the reissue on Finlandia and neither had had time to
listen.
So I am wondering if Marc would share his thoughts as well as anyone
else out there who may be familiar with this set. I heard Ehrling
perform Sibelius 1 with the Detroit SO many years ago and loved it.
Unfortunate for us that Ehrling apparently didn't much care for the
recording studio.

I have the Robert Silverman recording. I had not thought to pay any
attention to Copland, until getting infected with Bob's enthusiasm for the
profundity of the work. It was the first new disc I acquired between
between my cochlear implant operation and its activation. During that
period my left ear continued to work, while I was completely deaf in the
right ear. Alas, while I do much better in the right ear on pure tone
tests, I can't hear as finely. So I was unable to get much out of it.
After activation of my cyber ear, the scales sounded off and still do. I
don't know whether I'll be able to hear music properly, but it may take
another year. (I have purchased only one other disc, the Beethoven Sonatas
28 and 29, played by Mitsuko Uchida, even though I was disappointed in her ...

Searching For the Essence Of Brahms In All That Density

By Anne Midgette
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, January 22, 2008; C01

Johannes Brahms is an elusive figure. He is the quintessential
19th-century romantic composer, yet in his day he represented a
reactionary return to classicism. He wrote massive orchestral works
and oversize chamber pieces, yet for a period after his death was
thought of as light and unserious (all those Hungarian dances). He
epitomizes the bohemian ideal of an artist who sacrificed his
personal life for his art, and yet he was a consummate bourgeois,
eager to appeal to a predominantly middle-class audience.

Certainly I, for one, have always had trouble pinning him down. And
I have always had trouble liking his music.
