In a "fed up with war" mood. Some wars, both literal and figurative, more than others. But to keep politics out of it, let's just say all of them.

Nice! The two albums on 2L officially come out next week, I think. (Best price I found was at ImportCDs.)

Listening to "Fred over jorden" now with headphones (Amazon Music Unlimited), and am liking it.
There is some really deep bass from the pipe organ every now and then!

Dang it--of course just a day after I got my shipping notice from ImportCDs, they finally appeared at jpc.de for a better price. (Even worse: both titles are on sale through 1/31/25 for €26.99--which after VAT is deducted comes down to €22.68. That's around $24--$7.50 cheaper than ImportCDs.)

Perhaps not what I'd expect from the Takács Quartet

I don't always dig his reviews, but there are definitely some good albums there, more than half of them (Gabriela Ortiz, Emily D'Angelo, Anna Clyne, Aigul Akhmetshina, Jakob Lindberg, Timo Andres) in Atmos. Several of his Honorable Mentions, too.

Sony has remixed a selection of MTT's output on Columbia, no doubt in conjunction with the 80-disc retrospective box that they recently released:

3 of "the five unmissable new classical recordings this week" (according to Gramophone) are in atmos.

"The Nash Ensemble recently celebrated its 60th birthday, and to mark the occasion James Jolly spoke to Artistic Director Amelia Freedman for Gramophone. In the article, Sir Harrison Birtwistle is given the last word: ‘Michael Tippett used to say that the world was divided between those on the side of the angels and those not. In the case of Amelia Freedman and her Nash Ensemble there is no question they stand well over the line of good and are blessed with wings of gold.’"
