Well, it's been a long day, working on a maths assignment. While my brain & hands have been busy, my ears have kept themselves entertained with:
In the car, taking Wonderspouse to & from the bus:
Janacek - String Quartet No.1 First Movement
At my desk this morning:
Reger - Suites for Solo Viola
Bach - Solo Cello Suites, arranged for Viola
Then:
Mozart Piano Concertos from No.14 onwards, all through the afternoon.
Then:
James Rhodes CD - Bach, Beethoven, Chopin etc. as previously described.
After supper, while copying up:
Muse - Black Holes and Revelations.
I couldn't actually get through days like today without a constant soundtrack. I'm hopeless at working in silence. The music is an essential part of the enterprise.

Who's playing the Bach - very curious to hear how it sounds (suspect Garth Knox would be a good choice).
ReplyDeleteHi Tam,
ReplyDeleteit's the Nobuko Imai recording - you can hear snippets at http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bach-J-S-Suites-Unaccompanied-Transcribed/dp/B001LXRZSA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1249299498&sr=8-1 from where I downloaded it.
I haven't come across a recording by Garth Knox, but I do believe he's done the Ligeti sonata, so I think that's going on my shopping list!
