Congratulations, Dlwask! The night should turn out well for listening.
Around here, we're gravitating towards a chamber music evening, but "The Wall," "Who's Next" and "Night at the Opera" all stand beckoning in the wings. If the recently acquired copy of "Ummagumma" were cleaned, I know where I'd be heading. Hmmm..., maybe a short cleaning session is in order! Nope, significant other is headed to bed early so chamber music it will be.
Coming up:
Malcolm Arnold's "Fantasies" for various instruments, Hyperion series of LPs (great stuff; often lots of fun)
Alwyn, String Quartets, Qt of London, Chandos ABRD 1063 (nice performance! but a digital LP with that nasty digital edge on the strings)
Crumb, Sonata for Cello, Helmerson -vc, BIS LP65
Hindemith, Sonata for Cello, Helmerson -vc, BIS LP65
(Frans Helmerson is a marvelous cellist who is vastly underappreciated in the U.S. His recordings for BIS in the late '70s are uniformly superb: LP-5, 25, 26, 28, 35, 64. His recordings with BIS continue to date. www.cellist.nl/database/showcellist.asp?id=67)
...{"What? You're a classical music lover and you don't collect BIS recordings?!?
...For shame! You're missing some marvelous recordings.}
Bach, Suites for solo cello, Mercury Speakers Corner reissue (just one or two at a time)
Villa-Lobos, Various Pieces for Guitar, Mats Bergstrom -gui, Proprius PROP 9521 (one of those ocassional digital recordings that sound superb! two mikes and a DAT recorder, 1989.)
That should make for a satisfying evening!
