A challenging return to the office full-time this week (after working remotely 90% of the time for the past two years). Playing this quietly right now.

Recently spent a lot of time listening to The Complete String Quartets by Vagn Holmboe (Decapo 8.207001) .First impressions were of a jumbled mess but after a lot of patient listening I ‘cracked the code’ and now wonder why I found the experience like learning another language. Unfortunately a large number of recent classical compositions make no sense to me after more listens than I care to remember. Sometimes I wonder if they make sense to anybody. Maybe it’s just me? Maybe it’s just that some refuse to admit the emperor really has no clothes?

On the other hand I can see this form as almost valid if it’s attempting to describe the ‘intellectual’ absurdities of deconstructionism and/or the present state of the world. |

French composer/organist Olivier Messiaen (1909-1992) improvises at the organ of the Paris Church of the Sainte-Trinité (Holy Trinity), where he was organist for more than six decades (since 1931).

Trinity College Cambridge performing the Durufle Requiem during the early days of the Covid pandemic, hence the masks and the unusually wide spacing of performers.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-RiYOpaYVw Don’t much like the organ accompaniment. The original orchestral backing works better to my ears. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGoD-Cr-Wek Last edited by Ayn Marx; 05-18-2022 at 02:32 AM. |
