This is going to sound stupid but forget that...it sounds normal now. I have no idea why my brain processed the reissue as being pitched differently.

Quote from: vandermolen on June 02, 2024, 10:38:09 PMI don't know those works - must seek them out Cesar.

The Concerto for violin and strings is particularly lovely, and the Cello Concerto contains some poignant music.

Maestro267 · July 24, 2024, 10:24:29 AM

Acquired the Piano Concertos set today. These works are all new to me. I've started off with the big Third Concerto.

To be released on November 1st:

I think these works represent his only contribution to chamber music.

Maestro267 · August 16, 2024, 11:08:27 AM

Found the original issue on Presto and both works are around half an hour each, so a reasonable amount of music on this lone disc of Lloyd chamber music.

I assume we're running out of works to reissue now, outside of Pervigilium Veneris and the operas.

He wrote 'A Miniature Triptych' for Brass Quintet and numerous pieces for piano.

Ah, yes, I did see that work for brass in the previous release.

I notice the finale of the 2nd Symphony is titled Andante, con malinconico. Is that a typo? Shouldn't it be malincolico, as in melancholy?

It's not right (one for Il brontolio grammaticale di Catone, perhaps) - malinconico is spelt correctly, but is the adjective, so means 'melancholic'. What Lloyd should have put was con malinconia - with melancholy (or alternatively Andante malincolico). Nielsen gets it right in his second symphony.

I think it's correct. "Con Malinconico" from https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/italian-english/malinconico

The Lloyd #10 seems pretty good to me.

Roy Bland · October 27, 2024, 06:45:15 PM

Will they publish again also "Birth of Venus"?

Maestro267 · October 28, 2024, 06:38:52 AM

The Vigil of Venus, I assume you mean. Not sure about that one as it was originally an Argo Records release rather than the Albany Records of all the reissues we've had this year.

Yeah that's the one. I have that volume. If it was going to be reissued with the Albany catalogue I'd've thought it would've gone in as a third disc alongside the Symphonic Mass/A Litany set that came out in the spring.
