More Roussel: Albert Roussel: Psalm 80; Bacchus et Ariane, Suite No. 2 Serge Baudo, Orchestre de Paris, et al (Connoisseur Society/Pathé Marconi EMI, 1976) Lovely.

More musical settings of Shakespeare (and other poets) by Cleo Laine and John Dankworth:

Ah, my mistake!

Peter, Are you familiar with Franck's Piano Quintet? The recording with Samson François and Le Quatuor Bernède is amazing. OTOH, I've never heard Franck's String Quartets. Do you like them?

Liszt: Années de pèlerinage, Troisième année -- performed by Lazar Berman: So otherworldly. You can hear the roaring silence between each note.

and Nothing there that will blow anyone's mind -- but it's excellent music. I enjoy it. Hard to go wrong when Pepper Adams is on the date.

Prompted by this thread: An outstanding record by a terrific band.

Yes, per Discogs, it was first issued on Interplay. I suppose Flyright licensed it.

Real Gone Music CD reissue

Sir Edward = Harold Vick

Absolutely.

Since Bobby Hutcherson was a founding member of that group, I'm still sort of surprised -- and disappointed -- that they haven't selected Hutcherson as one of the composers that they focus on for a season. They've done Wayne and Herbie. Why not Hutch?!? I realize that Hutcherson isn't as well known for his compositions as those guys -- but one could easily come up with a varied and interesting list of his works that would be fascinating to hear. IMO, of course.

Now spinning: OJC reissue

Terrific.
