Spring not autumn...

Rubbra - The Four String Quartets
Maxwell Davies - The Naxos Quartets

Looks a bit like Autumn, no, wait, it is, unmistakeably (except I mistook it for Autumn), Spring...

In the post today, three classical CDs - two collections of music by Bohemian (as in, from Bohemia, not as in wearing beads and kaftans) composers e.g. Reicha, Carl and Johann Stamitz, Barta, Benda, Vanhal and my target, F X Richter - wonderful stuff indeed...

And, a discovery, the four string quartets of Northampton's Edmund Rubbra - excellent and very much recommended...

So, for the record, my last 100 (physical) acquisitions as at today (which stretch back to Xmas Day)...

Other than that, a very good "Law & Order UK" entertained...

There you go...

Onwards and upwards - it's the only way...

Highlight of the Day : The string quartets of Mr Rubbra...

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
