Get Carter...

Playlist
Cloudland Blue Quartet – Souvenir XVIII
Carter – String Quartets 1 & 5

Picture access finally sorted...

I am spending the very early hours of every morning these days working on the backing tracks for the live set...

Then I listen to the new version each day of the proposed Souvenir CD...

Very laborious...

At lunchtime today I returned to HMV, having noted on Tuesday the presence of two Naxos CDs of Elliott Carter’s String Quartets – recorded by the Pacifica Quartet in honour of Mr E’s 100th birthday in 2008...

He is now 102...

Said CDs were duly snaffled for the princely sum of twelve of your British Pounds...


Attended a small dinner in the evening at which the woes of the world were discussed and the potential opportunities for investing in Emerging Market Debt (!!) were put forward...

Home slightly the worse for wear but on time to enjoy “Mock the Week”, a missed episode in the most recent series of “Big Bang Theory”, “Question Time” (it’s really starting to become tedious) and “This Week”...

To bed with Carter’s “difficult” music on the cans...

Highlight of the Day : Elliot Carter’s amazing string quartets...
