It's been too long since I listened to any of Stockhausen's music. Tonight it's the "Greeting" and first act of Donnerstag aus Licht. I don't begin to understand what's going on here as an opera / story, but the music is wonderful.

[six string]

WP Carol Rosenberg - Water Musoc Of The Impressionists (DMS Delos)

 

NP Anner Bylsma - J.S.Bach Solo Cello Suites (Sony) BluSpec cd2

 

my second spin of the Bylsma cd and it's quickly becoming a favorite.  Really like his slower approach of the first suite.

Act two - Michaels Reise um die Erde (Michael's Journey Around the Earth) - basically a 50-minute trumpet concerto for Markus Stockhausen. Lest nepotism be invoked, I'll opine that Markus Stockhausen is one of the best trumpet players on the planet.

Sally Beamish - Viola Conceto 2; Whitescape; Sangsters

 

Birtwistle - Chamber Music . ECM collection of chamber and vocal pieces. Very beautiful - I mostly know his vast orchestral pieces that move like ice sheets. Here the music seems more watery and translucent.

 

Birtwistle - Nenia: The Death of Orpheus; The Fields of Sorrow; Verses for Ensemble

 

Sally Beamish - Seavaigers; The Seafarer Trio
