The results of previous (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 and a loser's edition) totally random polls have all greatly interested, surprised, educated, and assisted, me, so I now begin a totally new totally random poll. As always, the question is:

Of the recordings listed, which do you think should be the highest priorities for me as a listener?

You can see cover art below.

I will confess that these polls are nothing like "totally random" and that there is a measure of method mixed into a great deal of madness. By voting sincerely, you really are helping me prioritize my listening.

And, truly, y'all have surprised me in one way or another on every single poll. It has been enlightening for me.

So, thank you very much!

You know, it is possible that one or two of those options were on previous polls, but I don't remember! Anyway, it doesn't matter. Some over art:

Is this working?

I'm hoping that cover art is showing up for y'all. For me it does sometimes and doesn't sometimes. I might have to go back to using IMG tags.

Voting while listening to Atterberg's 6th Pure coincidence, I swear

Voting while listening to Atterberg's 6th Pure coincidence, I swear

I hadn't thought about it, but you know, it's bound to happen eventually!

Can you by any chance see the cover art?

 

[Wicked_one]

Take them slowly, one at a time, read the booklet and they will make sense. Both of them are really lovely, but then again, I may be biased. It was only Atterberg this year so far :/

As for the cover arts, they are displayed only in the last post. The 1st two are showing links.

Funny thing, when I started these polls, I thought I had a sense of what would win and lose. Now, I don't know!

I'm sorry, guys, I really don't know what I'm doing wrong with the attachments. Just isn't my day.

I'm actually going to leave it there because I have a hunch they'll work later. If not, I'll ask a mod!

Pretty easy for me this time ... the Edda recording actually also sounds interesting, but there´s always a lot of creativity/fiction in such attempts. But I should have marked that one as well.

 

[Blancrocher]

I've only heard the Adams, Atterberg, Beethoven, Crumb, Feldman, Hough, and Tippett--so I think you should prioritize listening to the others on your list and then tell me what was worth the time!

However, you can take that recommendation for what it's worth :lol:

I don't like the Kronos Quartet, had to select the Adams anyway.

 

[GioCar]

I'd go for the Edda (I love Iceland and Icelandic culture), The Feldman and the Jordi Savall recording of the Medieval songs of Montserrat (afaik one of his first recording).

Feldman is an easy winner here. But of the rest, I know the Martinu, Tippett, Adams, and even Atterberg ones are fine stuff. I have heard a couple of negative comments about Crumb on Naxos. I want to hear the Edda disc.

 

[jim prideaux]

you gave me a great 'steer' on the Amos Oz book so in return it just has to be Atterberg-and might I suggest his other symphonies as well!

 

[SimonNZ]

The Martinu and the Jordi Savall.

Somehow never seen that Sequentia album before. I'll be looking into that.

I almost missed this instalment.

I voted the Beethoven cello sonatas, the Handel oratorio and the Tartini sonatas. All great pieces from the 18th century/early 19th.
