181  Assorted items / Commercial recordings (vintage, new and forthcoming) / Re: Sullivan and Brian on Dutton on: July 05, 2016, 10:33:29 am
another new release http://www.duttonvocalion.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=CDLX7329
I don't care for the Sullivan release, I think there's much dialogue between musical numbers. For a non English speaker hard to follow.

Well, here it is, a much anticipated release http://www.duttonvocalion.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=CDLX7330
183  Assorted items / Commercial recordings (vintage, new and forthcoming) / Recording of Jan van Gilse's Ein Lebensmesse on: June 26, 2016, 01:56:39 pm
Coming at the end of July https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/cpo/detail/-/art/jan-van-gilse-lebensmesse/hnum/5434243
A performance I attended, Utrecht, The Netherlands, May 2013. This can be seen and heard at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWhgGznQx9U
A strong Delian-sounding work, post-romatic in overtone. Also very Dutch I'd say, not very emotional, dry like some sherry.

Point taken. If it's Glass' CD's; he's absolutely right.

Is a CD with 76 minutes of music 'short in measure?'
192  Assorted items / Commercial recordings (vintage, new and forthcoming) / Re: Walter Braunfels 'Grosse Messe' on: May 14, 2016, 04:56:24 pm
As a Mahler-obsessive I buy nearly every orchestral Entartete music that's to be had. Braunfels, Wellesz, Krenek, Gal et. I'd describe Braunfels as a voice of his own.

I do understand the issue of your wish that record companies should be more 'open'. (Excuse me my rather poor English). Some are, some are not. If one should know Tishchenko's 8th symphony would be out in –  say – november 2016, one could anticipate that release. I agree (very interesting composer by the way). But that could lead to many disappointments too. Cpo records is very open. They print a nice catalogue, there're times you even could find out what they'd release over two years. So I'm still waiting for their promised release of Pfitzner's opera Die Liebe von Rosengarten, promised for release in 2010! Very open and very disappointing. Chandos proudly announced a Weinberg symphonies cycle. Well everyone knows how many there are. Very open but it seemed to be halted, Naxos took over? And we know how far they have come. And so on and on. And suddenly – surprise! – Toccata released his last two symphonies.
So I've given up anticipating and being hungry completely. Just buying discs for the sheer pleasure of listening to – many times – suprisingly fine unknown repertoire. The situation nowadays is, for us eager to get to know many hidden gems, far better than say 20 or 25 years ago, times when labels like DGG and Decca still overflowed the market with Pavarotti and Karajan in Puccini and Beethoven. (They still do, recycling and recycling over and over again, yek.) There's so much to enjoy thanks to the 'minors', which are majors for me! I take every (surprise) release for granted and am happy with it. I really didn't know Dutton would ever make a recording of Bortkiewicz's fantastic violin concerto, and now it's here! And I wish they'll do his cello concerto as well...

Surprise, never thought this would ever be recorded. I'm certainly hoping Lintu and Ondine will follow this path with more surprises! (Pingoud? Patience my boy!)

Missing? Patience! And I hope the understanding that there'll be compositions you'd like to have on disc and will never happen; and cherishing the moments something surprising is happening: a release you thought would never be possible and suddenly is there.
For me: I like to be surprised now and then, so I really don't have to know which releases are in the can.  ;D
