Inspired by the Kenneth Leighton thread:

Kenneth Leighton (1929-1988), Suite `Veris Gratia' Op. 9 (1950) for Cello and Orchestra[/i]

… music is not only an `entertainment’, nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948

Schumann

Cello Concerto in A minor, op. 129

Ma/Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks/Davis


Great piece!  And it sounds like a recording for which Ma was on his game.

MOZART:     Serenades K 375 & 388        / Soloists of Europa Chamber Orchestra, Alexander Schneider

One of the best versions I know of this two masterpieces. The soloists have not the same quality of those of Brymer with his London Wind Soloists, but Schneider gives a perfect articulation and there is a life in this version that we never find in the one of Brymer.


Congratulations on your 1,000th :)
