fini Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Last night I was listening to KPFA in Berkeley (Tony Rice and Peter Rowan were in the studio!). Later that evening, a different show (same station) played Brian Auger's version of Pavane. It's such a great (if overplayed, perhaps) piece, and I realized I have no copy of it, in any form. Does anyone have a favorite? The Auger piece is off the album, "Befour," and I might pick that one up, too. If anyone is interested, you can listen to Rice and Rowan' performance here.

fini Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 Sorry. Just trying to get more traffic on this one to get my question answered. More traffic, but I doubt I'll get my answer now...I'll change the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuisis Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Great link, thanks two of my favorite performers. If you haven't heard Manzanita by Tony RIce you owe it to yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilMays Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 The very few times I have heard Tony Rice, I was blown away. Has anyone heard Tone Poems with David Grisman and Tony Rice...awesome work. I saw Tony Rice perform with David Grisman maybe 12 years ago.

fini Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 Tony Rice will be touring with Alison Krauss and Union Station come April. Here's the schedule. If you live close enough to one of the venues, it'd surely be a great show. Rice and Jerry Douglas together on stage? WOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxg Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Sorry Gregg - missed this one the first time round. Hmmm....Faure - I am no expert on him but I did go through a French kick a while's back (more Debussy, Ravel, Delibes etc.). I only have a couple of Violin Sonatas on Philips vinyl - if memory serves. Interestingly enough I do not have Pavane - so thanks for pointing that one out - I will remedy that situations when time allows. I thought I had his version of Clair De Lune but in fact I have Debussy's - so I may never have heard his. You can find out more about him at http://www.naxos.com/composerinfo/331.htm there are links to his discography so you can probably listen to parts of the music from there. Sorry - other than the above I drew a blank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuisis Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Yeah I have Tone Poems one with the vintage guitars and mandolins. I love the early Tony Rice recordings. Manzanita has Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Ricky Skaggs, and David Grisman. Cold on the shoulder has Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Vassar Clemens, and Bela Fleck. You can't make a bad album with talent like that. I am going to try to make the Hamlin West Virginia show and maybe the Pomeroy Ohio.

LarryC Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Gregg, I'm not much into some of the later French music with mysterious (somewhat vague, to me) harmonies but delicate, finely-wrought orcestral and vocal use. Fauré's a bit hard for me get a handle on -- he lived a long life, from 1845 which put the beginning of his composing career smack in the middle of the romantic era, to 1924, ending after the Impressionistic and Post-Romantic eras. For me, Fauré is a very introspective composer that requires concentrated listening until you get grooved into him. Wikipedia seems to have a good summary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel_Faur%C3%A9. His famous Pavane is usually titled "Pavane pour une infante defunte" (Pavane for a dead infant, although that doesn't seem to be Fauré's own title). It appears that he also wrote a "pavane" in his famous and worthy Requiem. Since the Pavane is brief, it's going to be combined with other works in any CD, and the Requiem is a logical CD partner. I wasn't sure if you wanted another pop or jazz version, or a straight-out standard classical recording. For the latter, a quick search on Amazon.com brought up a couple of CDs that contain both the Requiem and the Pavane: Dutoit and the Montreal, http://www.amazon.com/Faur%C3%A9-Requiem-Pell%C3%A9as-M%C3%A9lisande-Pavane/dp/B0000041UE/sr=1-1/qid=1168621755/ref=sr_1_1/102-3996980-3593721?ie=UTF8&s=music, and another that sounds good in the clips but is probably a little less idiomatic: http://www.amazon.com/Faur%C3%A9-Requiem-Koechlin-Schmitt-Memoriam/dp/B0000041BH/sr=8-1/qid=1168620366/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-3996980-3593721?ie=UTF8&s=music. Listen to the clips that Amazon is so good at furnishing, especially the Pavane -- I didn't listen to Dutoit's, but suspect that's the first choice.

fini Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 Thanks Max and Larry. Yes, a standard classical recording is what I'm after. I saw those CDs at Amazon as well. Good reviews there. Delicate and finely-wrought...just like me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmdridq Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Branford Marsalis has a nice version. I think the album is Romances for Saxophone. My problem is I like them all.:-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
