Denver Oldham - Piano Music of William Grant Still (Koch). "Bells," "Seven Traceries," Blues from Lexon Avenue," Swanee River," "Five Preludes," "Summerland from 'Three Visions'," and Africa. Africa was an orchestral piece, but the piano version on this 1991 CD was the premier recording. (The orchestral version has since been recorded.) Catherine Parsons Smith, in her book on Still, called Oldham's recording of Africa "a poorly edited and not well performed piano version." I can't speak to the accuracy of the edition, but I don't hear much wrong with the performance - maybe it's a little flat compared to the rest of the CD. But it's not bad, and the rest of the CD is excellent; it has gotten consistently good reviews.

This morning I spun a new-to-me LP that's one of the best one-dollar thrift store records I've ever found - mint condition vinyl, immaculate performances, excellent music I had not heard before. And so obscure that I couldn't find a picture online.

Two British Quintets (Spectrum LP) - Ramon Kireilis, clarinet, with the Lamont String Quartet

Sir Arthur Bliss - Clarinet Quintet
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor - Clarinet Quintet in F sharp Minor, Op. 15

Wonderful! A befriended harpsichord player alerted me to her crowdfunding campaign to the follow-up CD with more English music, but I was curious and ordered this one - a really great performance.

Here's a link to her crowdfunding page - scroll down for English version:
