Eisler über Schönberg:

Jon Rose & Alvin Curran: Benjamin at the Border

Magnificent 31st song from the Triplicate sessions: youtu.be/ZOUQXbqQMNc #BobDylan

Listening to the 2023 Allen Lowe recordings all the time

"Do Re Mi" (Woody Guthrie) Bob Dylan, vocals, guitar Ry Cooder, electric guitar Van Dyke Parks, piano Recorded live in studio, January, 2009 youtu.be/j7zUPPIqct8

Spinning some of Ravel’s piano music, performed by Reine Gianoli. I’d never heard of her but there’s a small bio in the pics below, she eventually became a professor at the Paris conservatory and unfortunately died quite young. I got this for Miroirs, but surprise! It’s all good. Recorded in 1954!

Bob Dylan & Willie Nelson - Heartland (1993) youtu.be/Q7IFYd6UOe4 His American dream fell apart at the seams You tell me what it means, you tell me what it means (Thinking this would have been another great song for the Masked & Anonymous band.)

Ten New Songs

Missed another great concert... #UltraschallBerlin

May everyone live And may everyone die Hello, my love And my love, goodbye #AlbanBerg #LuluSuite #Dohnanyi

Bruce Willis' "Tenth Avenue Tango" is a cover of Bobby Timmons' "Moanin'", right? Great tune. #Brucecore

Drifter's Escape

Glad they did call the string orchestra for this cut: youtu.be/MjxdrQVI7Yc

They have to rush off early to their grim demise. It is the outside flavourness of it. The cook book. The weird beard of the Birmingham halfwits continually feasting on my dough.

It seems to me that the time is ripe for a Bluesky thread about how—and maybe even why—to befriend crows. (1/n)

#NewReleases2023 #454 Mozart: Mass in C Minor; CPE Bach: Heilig Ist Gott Soloists, Dunedin Consort, John Butt My favourite sacred Mozart is musically impeccable and aptly ecclesiastical but, perversely, I want more sonic weight and operatic bravura. The spatial Bach is superb.

Have very much enjoyed spending time with this Alvin Lucier… newworldrecords.bandcamp.com/album/alvin-...

New arrivals

Spectrographic landscapes

New arrivals: Debussy Piano Recordings & Nono Violin Concerto

Throwback to last year, seeing Intolleranza 1960 from row one at Komische Oper:

Two classic Jerry Goldsmith scores on vinyl: One of my first musical fascinations (The Motion Picture) and one of my first obsessions (The Final Frontier).

11.000 Saiten: youtu.be/6xnho9LzU14

Favorite recording of the Orchestrations. When I saw Eschenbach's Brahms/Schoenberg at Konzerthaus last year, I knew the piece by heart.

Tzadik catalog is on Spotify:

“I told Bob: ‘This is like ‘A Love Supreme!’ He just kind of looked at me without saying anything, but it really is like ‘A Love Supreme’ to me.” Alan Pasqua, pianist on Murder Most Foul

Mozart the Progressive. Hadn't heard those pieces before.

Throwback to this concert in 2007, Thomas Larcher performing Georg Friedrich Haas' Piano Concerto.

I'm mostly stuck in an infinite remix loop, but here's something new... Zbigniew Seifert - Solo Violin (1976)

The new 2023 "Franks Wild Years" Remix is spectacular.

#Favouritediscs Although I sometimes wavered towards either Bernstein recording, this is most consistently my go-to Mahler Third. The massive first movement is shockingly imposing at times, with the winter chill particularly prominent at times. Then the next two movements….

INNER CITIES liner notes by Alvin Curran www.alvincurran.com/writings/ic%... "Inner Cities are where you go to get debriefed"

Seeing reports that the entire Tzadik catalogue will soon be made available on streaming platforms for the first time. Big news if true....

The Fall - From The Basement youtu.be/F19wbaOmSTQ Very neat 2008 set! 1. Is This New 2. Wolf Kidult Man 3. Fifty Year Old Man 4. Latchkey Kid

Berlin

No one's gonna take my soul away I'm living like Jim Morrison youtu.be/5ecVtUZ-nlM?...

"Flight Freed (Perspectives in Flight). Fedele Azari. 1926.

There's more MES spoken word out there than I knew: Pander! Panda! Panzer! (2002)

Tom Waits - Diamonds On My Windshield (Early Years Vol. 2 version) — youtu.be/tHhO6bSQnSU

Obsessing over this Keith Richards song, a Hank Williams cover: youtu.be/UzjeDS3bMxQ?... The same song is already found on a 1983 hotel room bootleg, and he totally nailed it in 2001 for the "Timeless" tribute album. You win again.

Incredible Criminals - Vainio / Väisänen / Vega youtu.be/hs2gscKwxcY?...

Alan Vega

Great Viennese album

Lot of water under the bridge, lot of other stuff too Don’t get up gentlemen, I’m only passing through
