Interestingly, we're talking about music that's generally decades old here. It's devilishly difficult to get a handle on what classical music premieres and recordings are taking place in the here and now or even in the space of the past 12 months. Does anybody have anywhere they've found that documents premiere classical music performances?

I have lately been enjoying this podcast on iTunes: Relevant Tones from WFMT radio. Mostly music from Chicago schools. Lots of episodes about new music.

Some interesting pieces I encountered in the Boulez Erato box. These are not necessarily the same performances.

Some great composers recommended thus far. I've been a fan of Rihm, Schwantner, Gubaidulina, Saho, and others for a while.

Check out Narong Prangcharoen from Thailand.

This piece, Phenomenon, is frighteningly good.
