Larry Kart Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 Interesting composer. Without being all that "modern" in style (his initial model-mentor was Alan Rawsthorne), Hoddinott's music is exceedingly hard for me to get a grip on. Forceful gestures, often brass-dominant, in one direction are followed, often abruptly by other similar gestures in another direction, and then by swatches of introspective woodwind and strings "night-music," etc., etc. -- all typically organized in arch-like shapes. There are times when I think Hoddinott (I have two more CDs of his work) just has a disordered mind or vocabulary, but then the next time through I'm close to being convinced that it's all as it must be. In any case, given all the "modern" music that I've listened to over the years, it's quite strange for me to encounter a non-"far-out" composer this side of an outright eccentric like Havargal Brian or Rude Langaard or Mathias Vermeulen whose musical language I can't quite grasp.

IIRC, the original Ensayo issue was a 2 lp set and we only issued 1 disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Had this in the car all week, may well leave it in for another. The "foo foo" factor in Mozart's instrumental music has always seemed to me to be hardwired into it, and/or my reception of it, and normally it hits hard and fast and I just leave the room ASAP. But not with this set. I can't tell you how or why, but this sounds like music with meat, all meat, not a spec of foo foo. I mean, if I listen for it, I can find it, but the point is, I'm (usually) too absorbed in the meat to even think about the foo foo, much less go looking for it. This was one helluva band! And this is one helluva set: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astonishing piano playing IMHO. Of course there are many, many versions of these late sonatas I love, but if I had to save one from the flames, it'd be Pollini for me...
