I mentioned in the charity shop thread that I'd bought Iestyn Davies' cd ' Arise, my muse' for 25p! If I'm honest, it's not really my sort of thing (there's no brass section, 6 man percussion group or 70 member string section), but I'm really enjoying it. My tutor at Uni. was a huge Purcell fan and, 28 years after I graduated, I'm reminded of the austere beauty of this music.

Webern Op. 3, 4, 12, 23, 25, 29 and 31 (Marni Nixon (sop.), Leonard Stein (piano), Robert Craft, et al).

Just today discovered that QOBUZ has lossless downloads of the 1950s Craft Webern complete works with opus numbers for £7.17 (3 x £2.39). That's considerably less than amazon.co.uk asks for mp3s of the same.

Schubert: Lob der Tränen, as a song and in Liszt's transcription.

Prompted specifically by reading a book passed on to me by some German visitors recently: the Cosima Wagner bio Herrin des Hügels. Lots of fascinating new background detail. Just got to the peculiar circumstances of the Meister's death in Venice in 1883. After breakfast on the fateful day, Cosima sent her daughter, Daniela, out on some errands and when she returned about 1pm she found her mother in a distraught state playing Liszt's transcription of that haunting melancholy song on the piano. Liszt was, of course, Cosima's father. Later, when Wagner did not emerge from his room for lunch he was found suffering a massive fatal heart attack. Rumours spread about a huge row that might have taken place between Richard and Cosima that morning and might have brought on the attack. Cosima did not play the piano again until January 5, 1917, following the birth of her grandson, Wieland, which she celebrated by playing a few bars of the Siegfried Idyll that Richard had written for her after her son Siegfried’s birth. I don't think I will now be able resist thinking of these events when I hear the song.

Many thanks Bryn.

I've downloaded all three. 16 bit CD quality and a great price.

Will make an interesting listen, especially since I have relied on the HvK, Boulez Sony and this year I bought the Boulez DG.
