Haydn's piano trio No. 44 second movement is basically Jazz.

True. The others are darn intoxicating, like Valium.
 
You got one hell of a memory, uchi. I can never sort them out, esp Haydn.

I had a similar experience with Beethoven's last piano sonata it almost becomes ragtime!

My memory always fails me with regards to the location of my keys!

Listening to Julian Bream on my floor sys. Granados and Albeniz. Wow. Sweetness.

Tidal had the Bream megabox for a while.  I explored a lot of it.  It vanished recently, but there are still quite a few individual titles.  And Tidal now has the John Williams megabox.  I listened to their duet albums not so long ago.

Best Mozart Sinfonía Concertante KV 364 IMO is the one played with Iona Brown & Josef Suk with the St. Martin in The fields orchestra
 
i struggled to find it for YEARS until now with the new Mozart edition in the supplementary performances

 

[CanadianMaestro]

It's one of Mozart's great pieces, for sure.

You should hear the D-major Concerto for Violin, Piano, and Orchestra: AMAZING music. Even for Mozart.
 

 

[Fugue]

Beautifully played (I'm slowly coming to terms with vibrato-less playing in Baroque repertoire!) and recorded.

I have that concertó too from the original Phillips Mozart edition, i ditched most of the DG Mozart 225, only kept note-worthy Albums

 

[CanadianMaestro]

  ^^Absolutely. Inspiring, heartbreaking, you name it.
 
Some of you may be surprised to learn that Anthony Burgess, author of A Clockwork Orange, was also a composer, and quite a fine one at that. He writes in a busy, quasi-tonal style that certainly must challenge the players. Very good playing and sound--which does capture a few harsh notes in the heat of the moment.
 

 
Yeah, he's a pretty amazing fellow, multi-talented. Clockwork Orange still is one of my fav books, along with Brave New World, which is no longer sci-fiction. BNW was laughed at as being impossible, even back in the 1970s -- test tube babies, social engineering, eugenics, pharmacological manipulation of the population.  Both books were req'd reading in Grade 13 in Ontario when I was in high school! Still have my orig copy of C.O.
Great theme: Is a man who chooses Evil better than a man who has Good forced upon him?
 
I haven't heard any of his music, so I shall have to probe into this, thanks. Hope it isn't atonal....

​Exactly or odd HIP performances , the Phillips Mozart edition repackaged peieces were "remastered" with more powerful bass and more louder volumen, to my liking they destroyed the resolution I kept the Phillips and kept like 58 albums of the DG.
 
They also did "frankenstein-CDs" most of the time, mixing different artists and orchestras in the same album, Not good that craeted a dissarray of quality, volumes and style of playing

I stayed in Huxley's room for a year at school! The accounts of him being a totally inept teacher is quite hilarious, although Orwell was well behaved apparently. 
 
I am still awed to this day about how eerily similar the North Korean regime is to 1984, and BNW's prescience about modern society.

Yes, although BNW impresses me more -- Huxley wrote it without any reference point in real society, back in 1932. Biology was nowhere near what he portrayed in BNW. In that sense, BNW was more a product of his pure creativity, than 1984 was with Orwell. With Orwell, he already had British society in post-war 1948 as a reference point to do 1984. Depressed, lapidated housing, low morale, socialist govt, food rationing. He did also have Stalinist Russia to refer to in its totalitarian brutality. Bad.

I agree and I prefer Huxley's prose. I never knew somebody could write so eloquently about tripping on drugs XD
