I am very happy to see this thread continue with enthusiasm.

Peace to you all.

I hear/see some new versions of old works. Nice and proper imo.

That last post was not intentional but i find it both agreable and humorous.

Sorry, but I disagree. Let's try to keep this thread on topic (contemporary music). There are other classical music threads on Head-Fi where you can post older music.

A recent album features music of Arvo Pärt with violinist Viktoria Mullova. Significantly, the composer was present and participated in the recording sessions. The performances and sound are excellent (available on Qobuz and Tidal). Read interesting background about the album:

I must have been drinking or something when I wrote that!

Thank you, I did not know of this amazing guitarist Roxane Elfasci. An extraordinary talent but she hasn't recorded any albums and still virtually unknown.

I'm not sure if this counts as "new" enough but I like it:

FWIW: Here is a link to David Starobin's youtube channel. It's a fascinating array of fantastic new guitar music IMO:

I also own and like the Naxos recording (in 24/96) – with its strange high-frequency modulation...

​

...which sounds ecxellent nonetheless.

I'm a big fan of Michel van der Aa and own most of his works, either on CD or as download. There are more of his recordings available on YouTube.


And then there's Wolfgang Mitterer. It's hard to characterize his music, as much of it is a puzzle of sound samples rather than orchestral works in the classic sense.



«Music for Checking E-Mails» is also available as a CD – a completely different «composition», and a fascinating one at that. Just as...



...another masterpiece from him.

Arnulf Herrmann – a recent discovery – is probably my favorite composer to date.
