what would you like to be listening to?
I am listening to a live Italian radio recording, on an old cassette, of Malipiero's Pause del Silenzio 1. I find it an incredible piece of music, which I have never been able to find on LP or CD, does anybody know if it exists? If not, I would implore any enterprising record company to record it. To this wish list I would also add Ginastera's stunning opera Bomarzo. I'm aware of the LP version, but I would love to hear a modern version. I'm sure Gramophone Forum contributors have many other parts of the repertoire they long to possess in recorded form. I would like to take the opportunity to dedicate the Malipiero piece to the memory of the late Michael Oliver, without whom, I doubt if I would ever have heard it, and many other wonderful pieces of music.
