Wonderful,dont often see Ligeti posted here

The search engine returns 159 hits of the word "Ligeti" in this thread! http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?search/11100515/&q=ligeti&t=post&o=date&c[thread]=51069 . BTW, he's one of my favourite "contemporary" composers.

Agreed. I've found that his music has the singular ability of interesting seasoned listeners and newbies as well.

Look at what I learned to do this weekend! (my audio and video - rough video)

Poway Symphonette - *Ulli Reiner
April 14, 2018 saturday 3pm
Rancho Bernardo Library - R.B., Ca

Concerto for solo Violin and Bassoon - G.F. Handel

Ulli Reiner, violin
Takuya Ohkubo, bassoon

Concerto for Two Violins and strings - Vivaldi

Ulli Reiner (l) and, Gayle McCutchan (r), violins

Concerto in C Major for Solo Cello and strings - Vivaldi

Takashi Kiyoizumi, cello
Ulli Reiner concertmaster

Themes on Gloria - Vivaldi

All first row center (until they shoe-horned another row in front of first row;.. but, with a outwardly tapered funneled view for my mics; a very nice consideration!)
DPA 4060 12" baffled omni stereo, with mics 1/4" from disc face, each.
Line Audio CM3 pair, wide-DIN 25cm90º
Mics at tall seated level in center aisle, at first row.
Tas. DR70D 2496

This was a total impromptu decision made seconds before pushing the video record button on my small Nikon Coolpix Point and Hope camera. I've never run any form of video before; tolerance begged.

*Ulli is a current Grammy Awards finalist. She was unable to find a videographer for the concert. So, at the last second, I hit video record on the camera, and, leaned forward awkwardly for the next half hour.

Sylvia!

She's quite good, isn't she? Dramatic sensibility, great voice...pity she seemed to just disappear from the scene...I think I read somewhere that she had some vocal problems?

I actually heard his composition for 100 metromonmes "performed" live. It was really quite interesting!!

Mahler:

Symphony No. 5 in C sharp minor

Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra
Edo de Waart

BMG CD (from a 14 CD including the complete symphonies composed by Gustav Mahler)

A refreshing performance, sober and honest, with a well-paced (i.e., not sluggish) Adagietto, à la Bruno Walter, Willem Melgenberg or the young Bernard Haitink.

Sweet...I'll have to get a copy. The CDs are a bit expensive but the vinyl appears to be available.

Some pleasant piano music, autographed by the pianist:

Wonderful songs with a great artist, but remastered too bright for my taste:
