I should also put in a good word for Herman Scherchen's Art of Fugue orchestration - old-school brilliance.<br /><br />I've never used the names Bach, Delius and Ellington in the same sentence: Bach and Ellington, perhaps - but Delius, not. And my thanks to you for pointing us to this interesting statement by the eminently "eccentric" Percey Grainger.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-32179017234256770182011-02-21T16:47:39.673+00:002011-02-21T16:47:39.673+00:00As well as the Orfeo and Nonesuch releases, I also...As well as the Orfeo and Nonesuch releases, I also have a recording of the Sitkovetsky version by the Gaede Trio (Thomas Selditz, Felix Schwartz and Andreas Greger) on Tacet.<br /><br />I would strongly recommend a new accordion transcription by Theodoro Anzellotti released late last year on the Winter & Winter label.The Marches Hatterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02717010843247210169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-61237888656386981582011-02-21T15:18:54.812+00:002011-02-21T15:18:54.812+00:00Mark, thanks for that.
