German Gypsy Suite Bantock Fifine at the Fair Bax November Woods (I have bought a ridiculously cheap box of 6 DCs "Beecham British music" for the sake of the German and of some Delius owned-in the Beecham recordings- on vinyl).

The Estonians love Uuno Klami since he served in the Estonian War of Independence in 1918 and was a volunteer to liberate Karelia s in 1919. Seems like their adopted Finnish brother composer. ERSO even did a cycle on Ondine.

Joseph Wölfl's Piano Concertos 1, 4, 5, 6, entirely pleasant, a bit beyond Mozart and not quite Beethoven but melodic and worked out all the way through.

Listening to the symphonies and concertos of Joseph Tal which are in abundance on YT. At the risk of sounding too harsh, what I heard was mostly cacophony and a complete waste of time. I could not endure listening to anything to its completion. Am I missing something?

There is a very good (and lengthy) article on Tal on Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josef_Tal) which includes a section on the composer's relationship with listeners. Tal's attitude towards his music and his audience was inspired by the uncompromising approach[es] of Beethoven and Arnold Schönberg, two composers whom Tal particularly admired. He places high demands upon his listeners: his works are intense, dissonant and densely eventful, and cannot be fully comprehended in one hearing... —Jehoash Hirshberg

Thanks for the additional info, it does help explain the intent of Tal's music. "cannot be fully comprehended in one hearing", I would add "or possibly one lifetime"..

Kaija Saariaho - Opera 'Adriana Mater'
An opera with four players/singers on stage only. Not much action on stage. Highly dramatic though. Kaija Saariaho is for me one of the most important composers of today.
