“Overland Dream” = Works of PETER LIEUWEN – SOLI Ch. Ens. & soloists – MSR
Wonderful contemporary music of svelte attraction and lyrical propensity.
A Day in the Country (Partie de Campagne), Blu-ray (1936/2015)
A light little Jean Renoir film of only 41 minutes.
BRAHMS: String Quartet No. 1 in c; DEBUSSY: String Quartet in g – Ceruti Quartet – MSR Classics
This strange coupling is not without interest. Which composer does it favor?
“The Edge of Light” = OLIVIER MESSIAEN: Preludes, Pièce pour piano et quatour à cordes; KAIJA SAARIAHO: Prelude, Ballade, Je sens un deuxième cœur – Gloria Cheng, p./Calder Q. – Harmonia mundi
Absolutely atmospheric and still very “French.”
