#DailyCDBox 23 Gorecki - Handel

Box a day, playing 1 CD. Enough boxes to last over a year

String Quartets and Trios by Sofia Gubaidulina, expertly played by the Danish Quartet, recorded for Radio Bremen in 1992

Tasty, oblique music. A composer whose work I’ve enjoyed now for a couple of decades

Morning Friday morning… Snow’s gone already… Off to that Haarlem today… Have a good one all!

#5DebutAlbums50s60s Probably just too large a category (considering there was one for 1990-1994). Top 5’ll be Beatles/Stones/Zep + prob Velvets & maybe Crimso. All of jazz/reggae/soul most likely little chance due to there being 20 years to choose from. Your own list is the only one that counts tho!

Yesterday’s Utrecht #Acquisition is Dutch, having been issued in Amsterdam in 1993 (sans Barcode). Piano music, comprising Frederic Meinders’ transcriptions of works by R Strauss, Gluck, Rachmaninov and Kreisler plus pieces by Prokofiev and Ravel…

#DailyCDBox 22 Mostly Philip Glass

Box a day, playing 1 CD. Enough boxes to last over a year

Of the 18 possible choices of discs by Mr Glass, I chose his soundtrack to the film “The Hours”, while probably not seen as one of his major works, for me, it’s one of his best!

Morning snowy Thursday morning and a great big Happy Birthday to the Exec Producer! Have a lovely day all!

#DailyCDBox 21 Foote to Glass

Box a day, playing 1 CD. Enough boxes to last over a year

Today, the beautiful cello concertos by Durham’s own John Garth, a 2CD set.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ga...

This set is one of only two available recordings of his work - it’s sublime…

Morning Wednesday morning… A day in Utrecht lies ahead. Have a good one everybody…

Today’s Amsterdam #Acquisition is 0% Dutch other than a smidgeon of a connection between Decca and Phillips perhaps…

#DailyCDBox 20 Elgar to Fitkin

Box a day, playing 1 CD. Enough boxes to last over a year

Today, Morton Feldman’s 1979 String Quartet, the first of his later “long pieces”

The world premiere recording, from 1993 by The Group for Contemporary Music

One 79 minute movement

A close listen required

Morning, Tuesday morning… Hope today turns out well for everyone… Onwards!!

#DailyCDBox 19

Box a day, playing 1 CD. Enough boxes to last over a year

Today, Dvorak to Elgar

An Einaudi disc. Reasonably early, with much electronics in the arrangements

Disparaged by many but his music is a template for almost every currently feted “new classical” piano based artiste

I urge people to check this out. Every week. It never fails to introduce me to great music in many genres. Do yourself a favor.

If you follow me but don’t listen to these, please do me a favour and let me know why that is? Every week, I put together a playlist of superb, in the main, just released music - some of which I then see you guys discussing in my timeline, oblivious that I’ve played it. Any feedback appreciated! Ta!

#DailyCDBox 18

1 CD a day per box. Enough boxes for this to last over a year

Today, Dohl to Dvorak

Chose Dohnanyi’s SQs 1 & 3 by the Avivs. Superb. Really must get round to getting the others. Been a fan of Dohnanyi since attending a performance of a string trio in a library in Dublin, May 1997
