(I have the Arditti doing No. 3 (1987) on an old Arditti Grammavision CD [79440] from 1989. The Kronos recording is of SQ No. 1 from 1942/45.)<BR/><BR/>I don't know why the Arditti did not also record Nancarrow's incomplete SQ No.2 (from the late 1940s). Given that the new Wergo CD is only 52 minutes (and the other two SQ's 15 minutes or less), it seems unfortunate they could not have added Nancarrow's SQ No. 2, in my view.<BR/><BR/>http://www.wergo.de/shop/resources/595071.pdfGarth Trinklhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11084463787729969177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-40503155512992715202007-10-28T10:41:00.000+00:002007-10-28T10:41:00.000+00:00Full marks to the excellent Iain Burnside on BBC R...Full marks to the excellent Iain Burnside on BBC Radio 3 for recognising Nancarrow's birthday.<BR/><BR/>Do listen to his programme via 'listen gain'.
