Volume One of the label's Penderecki series, paired with the nearly-as-raucous Fluorescences and De natura sonoris II and the more conservative Symphony No. 3. Catalog number is 8.554491. > Also I saw very cheap boxsets by EMI-classics. > Among others, complete symphonies by Sibelius 8 > cdboxset costs about the normal > price of one cd! Many of those EMI box sets are worthwhile, and Paavo Berglund's Bournemouth/Helsinki Sibelius cycle is one of the foremost.

Actually, I thought EMI had a couple of Penderecki collections, one of which contained the Threnody. It's probably his most popular piece and I can only assume you went to the wrong record store. >From: "David Beardsley" <db(a)biink.com> >To: "Kris Visser" <sstarkris(a)hotmail.com>, <zorn-list(a)mailman.xmission.com> >Subject: Re: classical orchestras >Date: Tue, 10 Dec 2002 08:48:42 -0500 > >I always thought this was a pretty well known piece! > > >* David Beardsley >* http://biink.com >* http://mp3.com/davidbeardsley > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Kris Visser > > Also I was looking for Penderecki's Threnody for the victims of >Hiroshima.

Naxos Jazz
by Fritz Feger 10 Dec '02

10 Dec '02

Some weeks ago, I sent a demo CD to Naxos Germany. They sent it back (!) and included a very polite letter saying that Naxos is discontinuing its jazz repertoire at the moment. Does anyone know about possible reasons for that step? Any comments on Naxos Jazz under an editorial point of view? Best, Fritz ############################################## Fritz Feger mail(a)fritzfeger.de www.fritzfeger.com ##############################################

East LA R&B (question for Skip Heller?)
by William York 10 Dec '02

10 Dec '02

Hey, This isn't really list material, but what the heck. I figure maybe someone here might be interested or know about this. I'm wondering if people have any thoughts on the "Brown Eyed Soul" set on Rhino from a few years back. I recently heard the song "The Entertainer" by Tony Clarke, which I love, and have long been interested in or a fan of some of the other music that fits in on this set (eg, Johnny Guitar Watson). Also, any recommendations for old LA R&B or doo-wop, or opinions on the "Pachoco Boogie" comp. on Arhoolie.would be mucho wlecome, offlist or otherwise. Thanks, WY

It's production is credited to Stephen Prina (of Red Krayola) .. anyone know anything about this? Can't find any info online. e

Thanks all for the great help. It was useful. I have bought the Naxos version of Quartet for the end of time. It's wonderful. A cover of Naked City is being played. Also I was looking for Penderecki's Threnody for the victims of Hiroshima. But none of the people in the store knew this piece. They also looked in a very big catalogue, but they couldn't find it. They said it was probably only recorded "back in the day". Is this a really obscure piece? Is it maybe too eerie for them? Also I saw very cheap boxsets by EMI-classics. Among others, complete symphonies by Sibelius 8 cdboxset costs about the normal price of one cd! Kris np: Messiaen: Quartet for the End of Time (Amici Ensemble)

>From: "Steve Smith" <ssmith36(a)sprynet.com> > (Here's a > tip - NO orchestra is infallible, no matter what anyone says... but the > Cleveland Orchestra is the closest thing to perfection I ever expect to > hear.) Until I was about 20, my background was nothing but pop and rock, rock and pop. My parents had a small stack of vinyl, but it was all Mitch Miller, Eddy Arnold, the Longines Symphonette, etc. But there was one classical album that completely laid me out flat: Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 2, Szell conducting Cleveland, Rudolf Serkin at the pianner. I never understood, and still don't, why that recording made my blood sing like it did and no other piece of the standard classical literature ever has since. The vinyl is long since gone, but I listen to snippets of it in my head to this day. (I wonder if it's in print somewhere.) William Crump
