    John Butcher

    John Butcher just posted a few albums / tracks on his Bandcamp page. Some new stuff, as well as the long OOP duo with Dylan van der Schyff on Meniscus. https://johnbutcher1.bandcamp.com/
  2. Listened to this one on Spotify. Beautiful indeed!

    Raphe Malik

    I am not a fan, but Malik's album with Joe McPhee and Donald Robinson on Boxholder is really excellent: https://www.discogs.com/Malik-McPhee-Robinson-Sympathy/release/3218423
  4. Well, here are ten I've listen to most in the last year. I guess do I enjoy them. I have to be considerate of what my family can tolerate, so more ugly / noisy stuff (that I enjoy just as much) is played less frequently. J.S. Bach - Cello Suites - Ophelie Gaillard (Aparte) J.S. Bach - Cafe Zimmermann - Concerts avec plusieurs instruments (6-CD box) (Alpha) J.S. Bach - Six Suites (Piano) - Irma Issakadze (Oehms) Johann Molter - Trumpet and Clarinet Concertos (Coviello Classics) - unexpectedly good baroque composer C.P.E. Bach - Piano Works - Ana-Marija Markovina (26-CD box) (Hänssler) C.P.E. Bach - Concertos & Symphonies (two volumes) - Berliner Barock Solisten (Deutsche Harmonia Mundi) Sylvius Leopold Weiss - The Famous Weiss. Solo Lute Works - David Miller (Timespan Recordings) - mikeweil will say these are no good, and he is probably right, but what can I do, I still love them Morton Feldman - For Bunita Marcus (piano) - Ivan Ilic (Paraty) Georg Friedrich Haas - In Vain - Klangforum Wien (KAIROS) Pascal Dusapin - Quartets 6 & 7 - Arditti Quartet (aeon)
  5. I look forward to listening to it once it's available on Spotify.
  6. From my experience it's the same tracks that are unavailable both at Spotify and amazon unlimited. This is rights holders' decision, not that of the streaming service. You have to have "show unavailable songs in playlists" setting activated in Spotify to see what you are missing.
  7. Just started listening to this one. Check back with me in what, five hours?
  8. I really like (relatively brisk) Ivan Ilic's version of 'For Bunita Marcus': http://paraty.fr/en/portfolio/ivan-ilic-plays-morton-feldman/ . Beautifully recorded too.
  9. Sidestepping a bit, don't forget this one by Neidligner's String Jazz (with Krystall) on SoulNote: http://www.camjazz.com/8024709076526-locomotive-cd.html
  10. I ordered a few CDs from K2B2 after Neidlinger's passing, and the order was handled (very promptly) by Marty Krystall. Don't have this particular CD, but I liked everything I have heard by Krystall, he's an excellent musician.
  11. Very nice, this one. Great composer, Cerha.
  12. Ensemble Zefiro / Alfredo Bernardini - JS Bach, The Brandenburg Concertos. I like it, quite different to any other version I have heard.
  13. I love Zimmermanns! I do not find the tempos rushed, in fact I don't think they are faster than most of the modern recordings, it is just that they have this springy tight feel about them, which I actually find very appealing. I really like the way they are recorded too - such a full warm sound. Yes, harpsichord on Bach recordings is a bit in the background, but in general harpsichord loses a lot of its timbral colors when recorded with an orchestra (IMHO), and I still have to hear a record where a harpsichord would sound good with a larger group (I love good solo harpsichord, no problems with the instrument in general). And Zimmermanns' Vivaldi is really excellent (definitely not the fastest I've heard and with very audible harpsichord):
  14. Ives - great. Will check this one.
  15. Constant Lambert - Romeo & Juliet an other works (on Hyperion) Inventive music. Abundance of great melodies. The flow is seamless, it all develops so naturally. Lambert should definitely be better known, IMHO he is easily on par with somebody like Prokofiev. Here is a Hyperion link with generous samples: https://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/dc.asp?dc=D_CDA67545 . The CD costs just 5 pounds .
  16. Listened to "Play". Sounds OK. Does not really work as a whole, IMO, but a lot of nice hooks. Sounds like a Hollywood film composer who decided that he needs to go wild. Will listen some more.
  17. Cafe Zimmermann's versions are my favorite. Energetic HIP performances in outstanding sound.
  18. Saw her live once, she's good.
  19. Oh yes. A nice review here: http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2018/Nov/Fox_topophony_211.htm
  20. Is the label still alive?
