Now playing CD1 from this set, which just arrived today.  Some considered this Beethoven cycle to be the finest of all Beethoven Symphonies stereo recordings and I am about to find out.  This is cycle #22 for me.  BTW, this is a French EMI recording ...

Excellent recording.  I have owned it for a number of years ...

Ildebrando PIZZETTI  Assassinio nella cattedrale    (based on T.S. Eliot Murder in the Cathedral)
Live performance, house capture?  La Scala 1958 with mono microphone placed within range of an assiduous prompter.   No big romantic arias or duets, and without the text I kept thinking of Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole.

Holy cow, what a jaw-dropping virtuoso piano piece this turns out to be!

BADINGS
Cello Concerto
Concertgebouw Orchestra
Eduard van Beinum
Carel van Leeuwen Boomkamp, cello
LIVE  27.03.1941
I like Badings very much.  A quick listen to his 12th symphony is an ever revealing landscape of this composers mind, and I followed it up with this live recording of the Cello Concerto.  Sometimes you hear a composer with whose music you connect to at levels beyond appreciation, like you've heard the music all your life and it 'fits' you even on first hearing.
First hearing, and it wont be my last.

Blasting myself into the new day with Bach's Toccata & Fugue BWV 565. 8) Jean-Charles Ablitzer plays the organ of the Sankt Georg Stiftskirche in Goslar-Grauhof, Niedersachsen, Germany, buit by Cristoph Treutmann in 1734-37.

Good morning! :)

Now playing (arrived yesterday):



Very likeable music in d'Indys romantic idiom struggling between German romanticism, french modality and the occasional exotic/impressionistic touch.

After a 55 hr workweek with several important deadlines, yesterday (Saturday) was a very relaxed day with lots of listening. Bought an extremely fine, new Norwegian pop/rock/crossover album (The Brothel) by Susanne Sundfør and played it twice, and did lots of catching up in a recent avalanche of classical albums:

Peter Sculthorpe: Requiem on ABC Classics. An extremely beautiful, meditative Requiem that reminded me sligthly of Faures Requiem in the general approach, except for the very interesting solo parts for didgeridoo!

Arvid Kleven: Lotusland and other orchestral works, BIS. Very fine music by the misunderstood and tragically shortlived Kleven, reminding one of the provinciality of Norwegian music in the 1920s when these works were premiered, and promptly panned, by the critics.

Boris Tchaikovsky: Varius works for Chamber Orchestra on Hyperion. An extremely interesting disc which I plan on revisiting soon. Beautiful neoromantic/classic music in a style seldom associated with Russian composers.
