Jonathan Harvey | Bird Concerto...
It's awfully quiet outside now that most of the birds are gone for the winter. And I enjoyed the chirping, whistling, singing and the rest of their noise. I spent at least half of the summer mornings with Harvey and the birds. Now it's just Harvey.

If my memory serves me right, this one is jazzier, more lyrical and Webernian than the Pestova/Meyer recording. A delight either way.

Over 90 minutes of contemporary classical music, which initially seemed uninteresting to me. Now I find it not only fascinating, but also one of the greatest discoveries/releases of the year.

Marcin Tadeusz Łukaszewski | Piano etudes
#NowListening
I was looking for some recordings of Paweł Łukaszewski's piano music and found this. The discipline of Bach and the flamboyance of Rachmaninoff sprinkled with Ligeti's intensity. It's quite spectacular, I'd say.

This is interesting. NeoQuartet in their own repertoire played on electric instruments. The music is minimalistic, cosmic, rough/lush/soaring ambient with an experimental twist. Tangerine Dream comes to mind here and there. More, please.

This music is so elegant, lyrical, and calm, even though there's tension. It's rather introverted, but neither shy nor withdrawn, if it makes sense. What strikes me the most, however, is that it sounds as if Bainbridge felt and meant every note that's in the score. Remarkable.

Early morning with Lutosławski's behemoth and Mykietyn's spectrally melodic or melodically spectral adventures. That almost electronically sounding singing/whistling motif at the end of the piece, an earworm, is astonishing.

Daron Hagen • Heike Quinto
Heike Quinto, a medieval Japanese chronicle, set to not exactly Japanese music. It is actually koto that creates and completes that illusion. And I don't mind if it's just a stylisation, because I like what I hear. It's an interesting chamber "opera".
