The works by Schuller, Mamlok, and Wilson are very engaging to my ears, the piece by Powell seems very diffuse, maybe needs more listens, maybe just not his best work, and the concluding thing by Robert Helps could not hold be through to conclusion.

Cover art by Mel Powell! "Little Miro", it's called.

But there is nothing on here, nothing, that sounds as if the players and the music would not benefit from a nice tour, get on the work and work this stuff every night, and then record it. What's here is fine, but what could be here is probably finer yet.

On the way into work this morning:

Leopold Stokowski - The Magician (RCA Red Seal)
This is a 2-disc compilation of favorites and bon-bons from Stoki's RCA catalog.

The "Feuerzauber" from Die Walküre is magical indeed. I need to investigate more of Stoki's "bleeding chunks" from Wagner's operas.
