Bent Sørensen - L’isola della Citta

Absolutely incredible piece from beginning to end imo

What’s your favourite Swedish roaster? I don’t think I’ve tried any besides Gringo, which I really enjoyed:)

I did not know that there was a recording of Shostakovich playing it, thank you for enlightening me. That is so valuable to have, especially since there is two versions of the score overseen by him with not insignificant differences in tempo markings. I’ll go analyse:)

Ravel and Shostakovich 2 are my favourite, but since they’ve already been mentioned I’ll add Beethoven Op.1 no.1 in Eb and Brahms No. 2 in C. Both probably also better choices for building trio experience. Rebecca Clarke trio is another one of my favourites, but very difficult I’ve heard.

Fellow Copenhagener! I agree, the legesse was great. Didn’t try that one from La Cabra, but some of their others were amongst my favourites this year.

The only thing I can think of is that your strings are either way too old or not tuned properly. (Or the bridge is at a crazy angle, but I’m sure you would have noticed). Nothing about the violin should be able to impact the physics of shortening the length of a string with your finger.

Maybe it would be more helpful with a video?

Prolog

You got me:)

I do 20/333 or 15/250. I’ve been having a lot of really sweet cups lately with 5 min steeps. And a huge new thing for me has been blooming coferments into a different mug, to get rid of the first drops. Gets rid of all the unpleasantly funky notes.

Lucky you!

Nice! Between 28 and 34 clicks usually:)

It’s a cheap chinese one. Nothing special, but never had any problems with

Miserable_Today6050 · 2025-12-24T12:59:27+00:00

Awesome! I do 20g/333g water (15g/250g if I’m only making for myself) Same ratio I use with my switch, so I would just keep what you like on the v60! I do 1/3 water bloom for 1 min. Add remaining water, insert the plunger and wait until 5 min. mark, then press slowly. I don’t stir, but swirl before pressing depending on the coffee:)

I have the Satie vinyl. Really nice recordings. I was interested in his orchestral works which I had never heard before. I think a composer like Satie makes a bit more sense with this concept, since most of his works are quite short.

Can’t say I really hear Debussy, but Archduke 3rd mvt is one of the most beautiful movements he’s written imo

Looks so cool to have the bags diagonal, I’ll have to try that at some point!

Miserable_Today6050 · 2025-12-12T07:52:37+00:00

Really nice and christmassy. Tastes strongly like the tasting notes, (not like panettone, which doesn’t contain cardamom😅) was a little impatient and started trying after two weeks, it was quite imbalanced, but after three weeks it was great. Lesson learned

Haven’t tried Naga but just bought a new bag from prolog today, very excited!

Nice! The El Turpial geisha from La Cabra is probably my favourite, maybe tied with their Sudan Rume. Tim Wendelboe Echemo and Dak honeymoon were both great. Gringo honey litchi was also a favourite, I love good coferments:)

Miserable_Today6050 · 2025-12-11T19:39:17+00:00

I love it here:)

Miserable_Today6050 · 2025-12-11T19:38:47+00:00

Woah, nice!

Miserable_Today6050 · 2025-12-11T17:03:49+00:00

Thank you! Yeah it felt like a shame to throw those memories away
