    NP: OUTTAKES AND ODDITIES (Roger Waters)

    5 unreleased songs that I've gathered in one sampler, including the 13-minute political mini-story "Leaving Beirut" and Roger's cover of "Knocking on Heaven's Door", which I could be without.
    I am extremely serious.

    NP: CA IRA (Roger Waters)

    His massive opera project from a few years ago about the French revolution, spread across two discs and a DVD. The orchestral overture is pretty nice and film music-like, but the songs eventually become quite grating, to be honest. I still haven't hooked on to this. Too many sudden stops and crescendos/descrescendos.

    -----------

    And with that, I'm through with my Pink Floyd collection walkthrough for now. Thanks for listening, and good night.
    I am extremely serious.

    NP: BERLINER MESSE (Arvo Pärt)

    Cool contemporary harmonies mixed with organ. Not traditional religious music, but takes elements from gregorian music and mixes it with a contemporary classical idiom.

    NP: STABAT MATER (Antonio Vivaldi)

    It's a short piece, but it never fails to move me. Pure bliss!

    Did a review of a work that Tchaikovsky destroyed but it was published in 1896 three years after his death being reconstructed by RR Shoring.

    A new Shostakovich work of the complete score from Girl Friends including the theremin parts and the vocal.
    Being a fan I enjoy him. Not sure how others on the board will feel.

    Shostakovich was quite a prolific composer in the soundtrack and stage area. This newer release offers three more.

    I've a new recording of a Copland piece call "Quiet City," a premiere recording because it uses the original instrumentation which includes an alto saxophone. Written for a play that turned out to be a bomb the work certainly is far from that.

    No Thor it is a new version with music by Gottfried Huppertz.

  1. The Huppertz music has been around as long as METROPOLIS itself, give or take a year or two.

    The Huppertz is the ORIGINAL score!

    So what Tom must be talking about is a new recording of the original score.

  2. (perhaps it was a bit subtle, but it's implied in what I said that it is the original score. the film probably took a year or two to make from concept to end result, and scoring would have come at the end)

    On the same CD as the CD is one of my favorite pieces of all time, the Petite Suite. Melodic and delicate.

  4. 'Ecstasio' from Asyla (Thomas Ades) (conducted: Simon Rattle)

    A remarkable six minute setpiece, the third movement of Ades' 4 part symphony Asyla. Apparently inspired by nightclub experiences.
