Well, it just came out today. Probably needs time to make it to the grand selection. But thanks, I've added it to my list.

I almost missed this recording, if it spent time on the grand selection I didn't see it:


But luckily I did not miss the new M3, which is truly majeresterial:

Volume 7 will be released soon. Not all new releases are in the Grand Selection, which is just the French term for New Releases. Many you have to find yourself, which I do all the time. sometimes you have to search for the conductor/Orchestra, or soloists, etc, etc.

Volume 7 will be released soon.

No, it is already out!

No, it is already out!

Yes but you cannot play it on Qobuz, at least not this morning!
Still in the modus unavailable.

I was playing it from Qobuz couple of hours ago, no mentioning in new releases so far. And that is exactly what I was saying. How they select what needs to be mentioned, and what not.

Bach, JC - Keyboard Sonatas, Op. 16 - Ruggeri/Uinskyte on harpsichord & violin - a MP3 DL so don't have details on the instruments - could be better esp. the violinist (no reviews available in my search at least); Schenkman/Westcott on fortepiano (by Derek Adlam after Heilmann, 1785), and a one-key flute by Peter Noy after Rottenburgh, c. 1760); interestingly, the Op. number is incorrect - stated to be Op. 26, not 16 (in checking JC Bach's oeuvre , there is no Op. 26 and the keys for the six works match those of Op. 16.  Dave

On my side its still unavailable, at least through Roon

Listening to Kempff's Beethoven, sonatas 1-6.

Until recently I only knew Beethoven most famous piano sonatas, I had never listened to a whole cycle.
The last few weeks I listened to the first 6 and they are great beyond expectation. I am especially fond of the 3rd but they all invite to repeated listening.

Bellini plays Reich's Cello Counterpoint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bT5PwL3RDIA

Counterpoint, I feel, truly is where minimalism, or at least minimalism of this types, shines. It is ironic, as they amp up the complexity (dynamically, rhythmically), but I still feel it is easier to understand (or at least follow) as the notes on cleaner given there are so few note to follow. The ability to hear each of the lines I also think allows me to hear other counterpoint more clearly - having this serve the function of a pedagogue. Given that there is a multi-track playing of other cellos, also playing counterpoint, I can imagine that this piece is probably pretty difficult to play unless you have a really good ear. High recommend.

Melbourne SO - Vernon Handley

Excellent orchestral music. I really am coming around to Handley's way with the composer.

Paul Buttner's Heroic overture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCBi4yuxFA4

I feel that his piece is misnamed, or that I am missing some crucial bit of context, it isn't big enough to be heroic, in my book - the music is good, but more backgroundish. Like, this wouldn't even be the sidekick's theme, but another theme, more subtle and scarcely played. It feels like the kind of hero Richard Struass might compose - competent, high quality orchestration - good job for good work, but no pizazz, no flair. A mild recommendation.
