Mostly Strings: Schnittke, Paul Bley, et al.
Franco Donatoni
I first encountered Franco Donatoni’s music in a stack of discarded reviewer’s copies. Perhaps I was taken by the familiar names of the performers, or the colorful CD booklet, or that most of the music had single word titles except for that enigmatic German phrase which somehow seemed familiar.

Piano Diary 1.
I sat down and practiced the program this morning and found it still breathing after a weekend of neglect. Facing the five movements of Schumann, the famous Fantasy and all the rest of it sometimes seems too much for me. I escape into baking a lasagne, feeding the bird, even doing laundry.

New Music on Montaigne Naïve
Largely because of the Arditti Quartet Edition’s 35 volumes, Auvidis Montaigne has become indispensable to fans of contemporary music’s modernist wing. Reorganized as Naïve Montaigne, the label is discounting 20 titles to midprice.

How Sviatoslav Richter came to play in the U.S. of A.

Sweelinck and Gibbons
