    NP: FIVE VARIANTS OF DIVES & LAZARUS (Ralph Vaughan Williams)

    A wonderful piece on this EMI disc filled with other great RVM pieces as well. This is the sound of the composer that I like -- the pastoral kind.
    I am extremely serious.

    That is a fantastic piece, what other works are on the CD?

    FANTASIA ON GREENSLEEVES, THE LARK ASCENDING, ENGLISH FOLK SONG SUITE, THE WASPS OVERTURE, NORFOLK RHAPSODY #1 and obviously FANTASIA ON A THEME BY THOMAS TALLIS.

    Pretty much a 'greatest hits' compilation. ( and I don't mean that dismissively )

    Some of those works have become much more popular in recent decades, when I was much younger people would ask what I was playing with real interest when I played Tallis or Lark, now people often know what they are and who wrote them ( though I'm still talking a minority here, the general public are still pretty ignorant on classical ). The Lark Ascending, in particular has become a British favourite and was voted # 1 favourite piece by listeners of Classic FM for a few years in a row.

    I have, but since I already have every single album they ever did, I'm content with that. No need for demos, outtakes, alternates etc. Very impressive packages, though!

    Indeed! I am intrigued by a version of Shine On You Crazy Diamond by Stephane Grapelli that apparantly was to be included on Wish You Were Here.

    I'd like to hear the outake/demos etc stuff but I'm with you on being content with what I have.

    I already have some of those demos on various bootlegs, and while they hold some curiousity value, it's not really the first thing I would go for if I want to hear the best version of the song!

    Evard Grieg Two Elegaic Melodies for string orchestra. A wonderful composer probably the classical name in Norway.

    Yup, he's part of the trio of our biggest cultural exports ever - together with Edvard Munch (painting) and Henrik Ibsen (playwright).

    NP: Brahms Symphony No. 1 Antal Dorati conducts the London Symphony Orchestra. Had not spun this for a long time and I forgot how powerful of a work it is.

  1. NP: Music by Ezio Bosso for dance works of Rafael Bonachela (We Unfold, Music for Weather Elements, etc)

    Some of the more beautiful minimalist-influences pieces I've heard. Italian minimalism has a lyrical quality I've always like. Bosso recalls fine work by Alessio Vlad and Ludovico Einaudi here.

    I haven't played asny Brahms for a long time......probably because I'm too Liszt ( sorry, couldn't help that one shame ), seriously, I need to start listening to him again.

    NP : EARTHWORKS - Bill Bruford



    A fine late 80's jazz album, Bruford being the drummer, I believe this album was to showcase up and coming musical talents and they are certainly on show here. Bruford has some pedigree himself having been a member or drummed with such names as King Crimson, Yes and Genesis.
