Dec 19, 2015	Classical Music Compositions from 1940 and later - Vinyl only The mention of Ives by Learsfool really got me thinking about who is the best expositor of America in his music and in what work does he express the American reality best. I suppose so many think of Ives in this respect because so many of his c...
Dec 18, 2015	Classical Music Compositions from 1940 and later - Vinyl only Thank you, tostadosunidos. I have only one piece of music by Brouwer, his Homenaje a Falla, played by Alice Artz on a Hyperion LP. I'll pull this out to listen to again and I'll look forward to exploring more of his music.
Dec 18, 2015	Classical Music Compositions from 1940 and later - Vinyl only ... you might want to consider Hyperion A66050, Roger Sessions’ "Concerto for Orchestra" + Andrzej Panufnik’s "Sinfonia Votiva" (Symphony No. 8)...Hi almarg, thanks for the suggestion. I have this LP but haven't listened to it in years. I'll have...
Dec 17, 2015	Classical Music Compositions from 1940 and later - Vinyl only learsfool, I agree with you completely about including Lou Harrison, Elliot Carter, Roy Harris, Walter Piston, Carl Ruggles and Charles Ives in any list of great 20th Century American composes. All should be explored by music listeners with an...
Dec 17, 2015	Classical Music Compositions from 1940 and later - Vinyl only Schubert, I'll have to keep an eye out for Rorem's Violin Concerto - one never knows. I have his Eleven Studies for Eleven Players, String Symphony, Sunday Morning, and Symphony No. 3. I like them all and have always particularly enjoyed the Eleve...
Dec 17, 2015	Classical Music Compositions from 1940 and later - Vinyl only So much wonderful music. Too little can be covered in just several hours with friends, but I hope to expose them to composers who are not so familiar. Any particular favorite works from among the following?Malcolm Berkeley (the son of Lennox Berke...
Dec 16, 2015	Classical Music Compositions from 1940 and later - Vinyl only jetrexpro, you make me consider that our next music gathering should cover works from the 1st half of the 20th century. So much great music to explore from that very formative period.
Dec 16, 2015	Classical Music Compositions from 1940 and later - Vinyl only frogman, I have a number of works by Takemitsu, but not the music for the film "Ran". Thanks for the suggestion. I find his music always intriguing.
Dec 16, 2015	Classical Music Compositions from 1940 and later - Vinyl only Thanks, schubert and kmccarty, for the Richard Strauss suggestions. Both are nice works. And I greatly enjoy the Lutoslawski works I've heard, but I've not heard the Concerto for Orchestra so I shall have to seek it out. Thanks, schubert.
Dec 16, 2015	Classical Music Compositions from 1940 and later - Vinyl only Great suggestions, frogman! Thanks. The Berg is a bit earlier than the time frame we've set, but love the music. Also, I like the performances you're recommending. All good recordings, too.
Dec 15, 2015	Classical Music Compositions from 1940 and later - Vinyl only Thanks, kmccarty. Excellent recommendation. I have the Schwartzkopf Szell performance on EMI and it is indeed beautiful.
Dec 13, 2015	Turntable for life In 2002 I began a search for the last turntable in my life. At that time there were some great choices, but not nearly the breadth of choice available today. I was fortunate to find my "turntable for life" back then, and it truly has proven to be ...
Dec 12, 2015	Brahms Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, op. 115. Excellent exchange of information in this thread. Thank you all.

Nov 23, 2015	The Hifi Trajectory Of Class D Amplifiers Kijanki, Ralph (Atmasphere) is well qualified to talk about guitar amplifiers. He won't mention it, but he's the designer and manufacturer of a superb OTL guitar amp based on the circuit in his Atma-Sphere amplifiers. See:http://www.renditionaudio...
