Milford,

That's a pretty great record, and at $7 I would pick it up.

Provided it stays at $7. I think if it goes over $15 or so, forget it, you can find it somewhere else.

I just put in my bid.

thanks.

Also... I went on a rampage buying every vinyl boxed set I could find of Bartok's SQs. I'm prolly gonna only keep one or two and unload a couple of 'em.

anybody here interested? I'll trade.

I'll list the versions I have tomorrow.

Cheers,

You're doing a hell of a job, cap'n. I might take up Scelsi at some point, but your descriptions are much better than mine could be. Are you coming up with stuff off the top of your head, or do you actually know when these guys were born?

Scary.

well, i got a lot of records which usuallly have great liner notes. if the dates not there, then i would google them. i've been into this crap for like 15 years and working at used record stores helped build the knowledge and supply. also, this stuff is so cheap at record stores that i could buy stuff without even knowing what it really was.

as for the kronos quartet question, they are good at what they do, and have done a great service, but there is a lot better, and the ones that are usually better don't wear silly get up's with new wave haircuts.

i was going to say that i have that exact same record, but i guess you have it now too. the cage piece is worth hearing, but won't grab you like the crumb tune.

generally, CRI is a pretty top notch label. There are some turkeys, but they put out a jillion lp's, alot of which would have never seen the light of day if not for them! sort of the older brother to free jazz label ESP disc, but a lot more thourough and better recorded.

I'm not sure I like them as much as the Black Angles disc... would you recommend the CRI release of Black Angels?

Cheers,

well, i can sum that up pretty well. i have a lot of patience for noise, but if you add some opera singing to it, i'm usually going to take a pass. those two recordings have some singing, and unless your into that stuff, will probably make the crap list pretty quickley.

Funny, it is the singing that puts me off most of the time...
thanks for your insight.
Keep posting I'm digging it.

Please do!

It's going to be Pierre Boulez's 80th birthday this month! Something on him would be appropriate. Next week there will be a performance of Boulez, Rituel; Stravinsky, Piano Concerto; Boulez, Piano Sonata No. 1; Messiaen, Sept haÃ¯kaÃ¯; and then a Gagaku Enseble will perform. It should be fantastic.

Also, any recommendations on 19th century quartets that don't bore you. I think you had mentioned Dvorak's "American" (Op. 97???). I'm also looking for recommendations within Shostokovich's quartets....where to start?

Any recommendations on wind quartets/quintets/sextets/octets? I really like the Penderecki Sextet. Also doesn't need to be limited to the 20th century stuff.

Thanks Capn'. I appreciate your knowledge and advice...
