Recordings & Broadcasts / Re: Loeffler Octet

Last post by Theodore S. - Yesterday at 00:29

I'm genuinely looking forward to this one, Charles Martin Loeffler is one of my favorite American composers. I've been hoping this recording would be made available for a while now, and it has a release date! I do wonder about the manuscript in the Morgan Library, though, if that will at some point be made available as well (or maybe there will be a new publication?)

A beautifully crafted website. A wondeful resource! Thank you.

Thank you Matthias, a real find. I'm especially pleased to see there's a recording of a recent performance of Stanford's oratorio, The Three Holy Children. Fascinating.

Composers & Music / The English Heritage Music Ser...

Dear members,

I just noticed this resource which will certainly find resonance with you:

https://www.britishmusicsociety.co.uk/2024/05/series-unearths-scores-from-the-past/

The English Heritage Music Series, an initiative presented by the University of Minnesota's Library Publishing Services, now offers free access to musical compositions previously out of reach or long out of print.

Apart from full scores you will find downloadable midi realisations and a few audios of recent live performances.

But only (so far) as a download. There's no mention of it yet at jpc - in any form.

A new version of these quintets is now out on CPO from the indefatigable Mr Triendl:

It's to do with timbre and tuning, I find. As I said, my loss.

Composers & Music / Re: W. S. Huffman

It was a bit hard for me to assess this because I found the performance rhythmically disjointed. Is there another better performance? Looking at the date of the performance in July 2022 it is entirely possible that pandemic related lockdowns inhibited group practices.
