Hartmann: Concerto for piano, winds and percussion - Maria Bergmann (piano) with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Rafael Kubelik. This work was mentioned in the Six Piano Concertos thread by Karl and I listened to it out of curiosity. Probably need to get more familiar with it but I enjoyed it more as it went on. I have a couple of Hartmann symphonies, also conducted by Kubelik, must revisit them some time.

Nørgård, Cello Concerto No.1, "Between".



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.

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.
