Hi Fretless,

You listened to *Combat De La Mort Et De La Vie* of Olivier Messiaen? As an organ piece it challenges both the player and the listener.

Cheers,

Corno Dolce

Hi Corno,

I did--I've been "auditioning" Messiaen's organ stuff, what I can find in the libraries, because I've been intrigued by the Complete Organ Works disc set on Amazon. I love his orchestral music and Vingt Regards.

Mendelssohn's last SQ op.80 by the Melos SQ
Islamey by Simon Barer (incredible!)

That's quite an act of stamina to get through the entire piece. I need to do that again soon. Thanks for the link--I've only seen some the Muraro segments of the piece. This one had interesting lighting to go along with the playing. The tempo is sligthly faster than the Hakon Austbo version I have, which is fine with me.


Listened today:
Schoenberg Quartet No. 3
