I'm not sure if I've ever really listened to the music of Norgard, but this same disc is on Apple Music so I think I'll give it a go this morning.
Thanks, Madiel!

But does the world really need more "sonic cowpat"?  ;) 8) 0:)

 ;D For the record, I quite enjoy a lot of music that could be termed “English pastoral” (VW, Finzi, Moeran, etc.). I certainly don’t agree with Copland that VW’s 5th Symphony is “like staring at a cow for 45 minutes”!  ::) :D

Holmboe, Symphony No.9


The first movement tends to make me think of things crawling in the night...

Yes, I love those spooky, nocturnal atmospheres that Holmboe creates in his music.

Koppel: Symphony No. 4 [Atzmon]





On first listen some time ago this work struck me as not being very cohesive or organic. I enjoyed large parts of the music particularly the wonderful second movement. The sound world and musical language were both interesting and engaging. After a long lapse and a listen with more amenable ears perhaps I now do not find it not to be as episodic as I had originally thought. It is certainly a powerful work making a big statement.

Quote from: André on August 14, 2018, 03:23:09 PM
I know, it’s a very personal opinion, certainly not a matter of fact. A review of vol 5 in Gramophone sums it up nicely, and the reviewer’s view is pretty much your own (« fine if lacking just a little in expression and flair in its interpretation »). https://www.gramophone.co.uk/review/d-scarlatti-harpsichord-sonatas-volume-5

 I have both Belder and Ross integral sets. Ross is certainly the more inventive and adventurous approach, but a certain sameness pervades both sets, which is rather unavoidable, I guess.

For maximum enjoyment nothing beats Hantaï’s discs IMO. But for the long term I thoroughly enjoy Rowland’s solid, sonorous readings. I notice that not a trace of these records can be found right now. I have vols 2-6 (12 discs). Maybe Rowland never completed the undertaking?

Thank you for the reply André. You have given me cause to think about these performances for further analysis in the future  :)

Sor: Sonata “Gran Solo” Op. 14 [Teicholz]





This short, single movement work offers the performer the opportunity to display his/her command of bravura and this opportunity is readily taken up here with a very fine performance. The recorded sound is also very good which enhances the performances.

Vieuxtemps: Violin Concerto No. 7 [Langley/Davin]





Passion, pathos, lyricism and virtuosity all equally coexist happily together in this work; such is the skill, for me, of Vieuxtemps’ compositional skills. The performance here [from all concerned] lacks nothing in any of these departments.

Holst: Indra, Symphonic Poem [Atherton]





A wonderful version where the textures of the scoring are brought out to full advantage. Tension and drama are served well as the music is very well driven. A wonderful work.
