    Have you heard their live versions of the sonatas from Edinburgh?

    New Gubaidulina on Kairos: Galgenlieder a 3, for solo voice, double
    bass, and percussion

    Fun music, and I like Gubaidulina's focus on the double bass. Although I
    guess I was hoping the singing would be less normal & more "childlike"
    (a word used to describe the poems).

    New reading of Tournemire's _L'Orgue Mystique_ by Tjeerd van der
    Ploeg on Brilliant Classics.... (6+ hours.) This is a natural
    pairing to the release of the large set of the remainder of
    Tournemire's organ music by the same performer a while back... On
    streaming.

    At least at one time, there was some overlapping interest here in
    the English virginals repertory.... I & others have noted piano
    recitals for this repertory, for instance, most recently Mishka
    Momen's _Reformation_ on Hyperion, which I continue to hear as an
    important release in the virginals->piano project....

    However, I also enjoy the sound of virginals themselves, and by
    that I mean specifically virginals, rather than other sorts of
    harpsichords (if that's the operative Venn diagram here...). In
    particular, the muselar virginals have a sound I've long enjoyed.
    And now a new John Bull recital is particularly striking for its
    sonics on a virginals:

    _The Real John Bull_ is from Maciej Skrzeczkowski, a recent Belgian
    contest winner, and released on Ricercar. It's on streaming.

    I guess the "real" refers to the sound of the virginals there, which
    are rather splashy, including e.g. a mother & child model where he
    plays on two keyboards (like an organ). Bull's music needs a high
    level of virtuosity to pull off, and gets it here, although I can
    imagine more sophistication brought to this repertory as well....

    New recording from composer Scott Fields (b.1952) & his "Feartet"
    (which is a string quartet with one violin being instead Fields on
    guitar...), _Throws_ (also on streaming):

    https://www.challengerecords.com/products/17102324411188/throws

    This, the group's third album, is devoted to Beethoven's Late String
    Quartets, with Fields recomposing each one -- yielding something that's
    both recognizable & very different....

    The group's prior albums (from 2014, per streaming) were devoted
    to Haydn & to Bach's cello suites (_Mostly Stick_)....
