His large catalogue remains to be explored, and I have heard a Symphony of his from 1948 that is mightily impressive and suggests Bozza was capable of something much deeper than we know from his wind works.JMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09520926883774598349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-55949943928947208732012-08-22T19:50:07.032+01:002012-08-22T19:50:07.032+01:00Another French composer worthy of a detour is Henr...Another French composer worthy of a detour is Henri Tomasi. I am working on his Trombone Concerto right now, and I am really loving his fluid, lyrical lines and 20th century-expressionist harmonies.<br /><br />There is also Eugene Bozza, who wrote some of the most difficult and imaginative brass chamber music of the 20th century.Bodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05970235434240735092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-33402527962097607952012-08-22T17:31:38.396+01:002012-08-22T17:31:38.396+01:00There's an interesting comment from Dutilleux ...There's an interesting comment from Dutilleux on Boulez in a 2005 Guardian interview, "Our relations are now very good, très chaleureux," says Dutilleux. "At the moment I have no problems with him. I even like the fact that he is no longer certain, but is a man riven by doubt, as we all should be."ghooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12011169107333035448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-36844659038742069222012-08-22T13:09:40.309+01:002012-08-22T13:09:40.309+01:00Andrew, yes, Virgin Classics is, of course, part o...Andrew, yes, Virgin Classics is, of course, part of beleaguered EMI. <br /><br />This is another interesting example of the disc and MP3 formats being almost the same price - £14 versus £12.75 in the UK. MP3 format versions have historically been cheaper because of manufacturing/distribution costs, but that seems to be changing.Pliablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-68183432365386164212012-08-22T12:55:36.415+01:002012-08-22T12:55:36.415+01:00Thanks for the heads up!

This looks like the kind of titanic bargain we should all be snapping up before the record companies realise they can't go on selling it so cheap and the ship of recorded classical music slips beneath the waves for good.Andrew Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13621999760260602982noreply@blogger.com
