LSO / Tilson Thomas
Anna Thorvaldsdottir's Aerial, sort neo classical? on Bandcamp
Just received:
Steve Martland - Patrol
Bought it for Danceworks
Which I knew in the version by De Volharding, an orchestra formed by Louis Andriessen with whom Steve Martland had studied
If you like Terry Riley and Univers Zero...
^^^^ Cool stuff. I enjoyed that.
Looking or some wild and bizarre Choral stuff? Check out Gabriella's Smiths "Requiem' performed by Roomful of Teeth and Dover Quartet

Beautifull. Difficult to play those big recorders. I already have problems with an alto-recorder.Originally Posted by Yaman Aksu
Playing some Svend Nielsen. Not to be confused with Svend Hvidtfelt Nielsen, who is also cool.

The largest musical instrument in the world is the pipe organ in the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. It was designed by Emerson L. Richards and built by the Midmer-Losh Organ Company between 1929 and 1932.
The organ weighs about 150 tons and contains seven manuals, 449 ranks, 337 registers and 33,114 pipes. It is the largest organ in the world, as measured by the number of pipes.
The Guinness Book of World Records says it is the largest pipe organ ever constructed, the largest musical instrument ever constructed and the loudest musical instrument ever constructed.
There is one gotcha, though. Most of the organ has not functioned since 1944, when it was damaged by a hurricane. A partial restoration in 1998 was largely reversed by construction damage during a renovation of the Boardwalk Hall shortly afterwards.
Parts of the organ are again being restored to playing order as part of a $16 million restoration effort that is expected to be completed by 2023. Currently, more than 95 percent of the organ is functioning.
Today I got my second Steve Martland album. Alas it has one compostion that is also on my other Steve Martland CD.
Any recommendations for very sad and slow tempo? Preferably piano. Thanks!
Eric Satie - piano works, like Gymnopedie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-Xm7s9eGxU
Or Debussy - like Estampes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-YcnPXY2yE or La cathédrale engloutie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAVyKDDsM3s - and many others
Luray Caverns in Virginia claims it's their "Great Stalacpipe Organ" which covers 3-1/2 acres.
Chopin solo piano. Such as:
- nocturne op.9 no.2
- nocturne in c# minor
- ballade no.1
The brand new album by Caroline Shaw & the Attaca Quartet is an absolute winner imho.

This has recently been released:
https://newamsterdamrecords.bandcamp.../the-blue-hour
a song cycle written collaboratively by the female composers Rachel Grimes, Angélica Negrón, Shara Nova, Caroline Shaw, and Sarah Kirkland Snider.
Anything by Sarah Kirkland Snider and especially Caroline Shaw gets my attention these days. It is a beautiful set of songs, somewhere in between classical, folk and pop.
My only complaint is that it is too long. In total 40 songs. Although the average lenght is somewhere between 2 and 2 1/2 minutes it is still a very long album.
I was also impressed by some of the songs by Rachel Grimes. She played in some sort of 'Classical post-rock' band called Rachel's that I completely missed. Any tips were to begin?
I think I'd start with these two, but they're all good.
Thanks! I'll add them to my bandcamp friday shopping list of 4 November.
Beautiful!
