- Still want to know the vocalist. Can't someone find out from Philip or Chris at Innova?
The vocalist should be listed on your playlist item.
- No one was better at time than Miles Davis.
- Or Reich's "Different Trains"?
- Don't understand how the "found sound" here is different than Gavin Bryars "Jesus' Love Never Failed Me Yet".
- If Mikhail Alexandrovich was the Chazin in my shul for the Yom Tovim, I might actually sit still and listen for a while.
Thanks.
- Sorry-
Keeping the big yellow box for MusicSprings. It was always something bold. The new icon, not so much.
- O.K., here's a heads up. In the Winamp player, we see the title of the piece as Return of Scarves, and the Artist as Nadia Sirota. We should be seeing the piece as "Symphony No.1..." and the artist as either the composer or the musical group.
- Next time you schedule the Bruch Opus 47, lead in with the Gabriel Faure, "Elegie for Cello and Orchestra, Opus 24" ( Yan Pascal Tortelier, Conductor, BBC Philharmonic Orchestra). It only works with the Faure leading into the Bruch.
If you want to see how it fits, go to Hearts of Space, PGM 15, "Cello Deeps"

- Always welcome.
- I see that we now have a running feed of what's playing in the Winamp player, Title and Artist. I don't know how long it has been up but it is very welcome. We did have it in WNYC2, but it went away after the switch to Q2.
So, welcome back, lovely feed.
- I just walked into the room, heard this, and said "that's Keith."
Thanks, from a Jarrett groupie.
- In my MusicSprings blog, I say that ECM might be simply the best record producing company in the world.
I am on the ECM mailing list for new releases. It is my joy to present ECM's text and graphics on the blog to a wider world.
- I really think that looking to one or two pieces of music or to the schools does not provide an answer for getting kids to love music. Any kind of music. I think that only when there is music in the home can a real love for music develop.
- Hearst of Space featured Ms Karaindrou's score for the Theo Angelopoulus film "Ulysses' Gaze" as PGM 416.
Here is Stephen Hill on Ms Karaindrou:
"The Greek film composer ELENI KARAINDROU is one of those rare and trustworthy musicians to whom we can dedicate a complete program....on this edition of Hearts of Space we bring you her music for the film ULYSSES GAZE by THEO ANGELOPOULOS, starring Harvey Keitel, Erland Josephson, and Maia Morgenstern. The recording features the outstanding viola playing of KIM KASHKASHIAN, and a string orchestra conducted by LEFTERIS CHALKIADAKIS.
In her long career, ELENI KARAINDROU has written scores for films by Greece's most poetic directors. Her other scores for THEO ANGELOPOULOS include LANDSCAPE IN THE MIST, THE BEEKEEPER, VOYAGE TO CYTHERA, and THE SUSPENDED STEP OF THE STORK. Her musical champion in recent years has been the German producer MANFRED EICHER, who has released three compact discs of her music on his ECM label, all for films by THEO ANGELOPOULOS.
ELENI KARAINDROU's music does not merely accompany or prettify a film - but is an essential element of it, as important as the screenplay, the landscape, or the actors. Angelopoulos says 'Eleni's music represents the blood not shed on the screen. Her constant presence...reveals something deeply spiritual beneath the lyricism.'
Write' STEVE LAKE calls Eleni Karaindrou's work "not film music in the limited snse but rather music that is inherently cinematic in its reach: it establishes an emotional climate, hints at storylines ..., paints sky and sea in subtle, muted hues, and sometimes, simply sings.' "
- I am not going to wait and see, I am going to hope that a consideration of Glass in four hours can include a piece from Aguas de Amazonas, the Glass collaboration with Uakti.
Glass was in I think Brazil, to visit with Paul Simon as Simon developed his "Rhythm of the Saints" material. I believe that is when Glass met the remarkable percussion group Uakti.
- Recognized Eleni after three notes. Beautiful. Thanks.
- Thanks for the real McCoy, oops, I mean the real ENO!!
- Jan-
CBS in NYC used to put on "Maytime" on the Late Late Show, around 2:00AM one night of the first week-end in May. I would set my alarm to wake me up to watch it. My wife just sort of tolerated this.
In the New York Times TV listing, they would say, "John Barrymore, Fire and Ice". For the Times, it was all J.B.
For me it was Jeanette and Nelson, the cherry tree, May Day without the politics, the Tchaikovsky 5th, and the fabulous ending with the two coupes walking in opposite directions on the privet lined path.
I know it's August, but I just might go and watch it anyway.
Every year, at the appointed time, those wonderful apple blossom credits would roll, Marsha is at the May celebration...Then, it died. It just died. Someone at CBS told me that they had gone to an all color movie policy.
I was bereft.
Then WNET put it on. I video taped it. Then I did a DVD from the video tape. As technology improved, so did I. I ripped the DVD to .mp4 and put the movie on my 1Tb external HDD.
And yes, I do still watch it.
- More please, and who is the vocalist? This is fabulous, and, might I say, "ballsy". Thanks.
- You cannot bring the 105.9 audience to even moderately "New Music" unless you can find pieces by these composers which are "approachable" and there are plenty. I don't know Adams well enough to make suggestions, except maybe "Shaker Loops", "City Noir" which they loved at the L.A. Phil, "Harmolielehire" which can sound Mahleresue; and Glass, for example, the "Glass Pieces" album contains a lot of very approachable work, and also "Glassworks".
Hovhaness has lots that can work on 105.9.
The programmers need to think about the audience and respect it while also respecting the "Newer Music".
