Perhaps you meant Keith Jarrett, maestrob?

Or has Corea also played Shostakovich?

THAT's what I meant! :oops:

OTOH, if we could get Chick Corea and Béla Fleck to do some piano/banjo arrangements of Shostakovich . . . .

Cari amici,

My excellent friend Shauna has uploaded the recording from the 24 June event. Notwithstanding the fact that the composer wishes that all might have been better still, it is my great pleasure to make this available to you. I place only the following conditions (which I have no way of enforcing, and regarding which I therefore rely completely on your discretion):

a. I earnestly hope that you may enjoy listening.
b. Whether you enjoy the listening or (heaven forfend) not, the composer appreciates any feedback the listener may offer.
c. If you have enjoyed listening, I hope you may consider supporting the musicians in any way you find appropriate and feasible.
d. If you have any comments on the technical aspects of the recording, good or bad, Shauna welcomes any and all feedback. Contact me if you wish her e-mail address.
e. If you enjoy the music, please send Shauna an e-mail message thanking her for her generosity of spirit (and time, and labor) to the composer.
f. Of the following pieces, only Blue Shamrock is under contract to a publisher, Lux Nova Press. Technically, I probably do not have the right to distribute the recording of this piece freely; realistically, I do not think that this gesture will run afoul of Lux Nova. All that said, I encourage you (if you like the piece) to let Lux Nova know.
g. If you feel inclined (and if any of the pieces on the program so inspire you), encourage Lux Nova to carry and promote more Henningmusick.
h. Track list:

1. Blue Shamrock, Opus 63 — clarinet solo

Lost Waters, Opus 27 — harp solo
2. Irving's Hudson
3. Thoreau's Walden
4. Whitman's Ontario
5. Carlos Williams's Passaic

6. stars & guitars, Opus 95 — bass flute & harp
7. The Angel Who Bears a Flaming Sword, Opus 94a — alto flute solo
8. Fragments of « Morning Has Broken », Opus 64a — flute, clarinet & piano
9. Radiant Maples, Opus 59 — flute, clarinet harp & piano

========

10. Fragments of « Morning Has Broken », Opus 64a — rehearsal
11. Radiant Maples, Opus 59 — rehearsal excerpt

========

I wish you all good listening, and I thank you for all your kind support.

Cheers,
~Karl

karlhenning:

I tried to access the recording, but was unsuccessful, due to the fact that the host website did not appear. Will try later when the problem is fixed.

Congratulations on having yet another piece published!

Grazie, maestro!

Any luck, maestrob? I've probably landed on that link some dozen times, and never had trouble. Please advise!

I have yet to download and listen to the recording, Karl. I intend to, but don't know when.

On other musical fronts, I've been listening to the cello concerti of Danielpour and Rouse, plus the one-movement concerted work by Kirchner, that Yo-Yo Ma recorded some years ago with the Philadelphians under Zinman. Very good music, but it hasn't (on a mere two hearings) made the leap to great music that demands that I drop everything to listen.

A disc of music by Pärt, Tabula Rasa and the Symphony No. 3 (a recent-ish Naxos release), is more compelling without necessarily being better. Very odd.

And the Gaelic Symphony and piano concerto of Amy Beach (also on Naxos): just not much personal profile in these works, as far as I can tell. I was hoping for more.
