What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[George]

Rachmaninov - Piano Concertos + Paganini Rhapsody (PT's No.1 included, also) w/ Mikhail Rudy, Mariss Jansons, and the Leningrad/St. Petersburg PO - just arrived and a recommendation from George - packaged as 3 separate CDs w/ their own booklets, so not a 'space saver', but superb performances & sound (recorded 1990-93). 

Very glad you like it Dave!

I've always like the cover art on these Bernstein/Mahler albums.

Probably it was reading Gutman's book which put this piece on my radar . . . some few years ago.  This is one of my most treasured Naxos discs.

[karlhenning]

Or maybe not . . . he mentions the piece, but hardly any more.

[ChamberNut]

I've never heard this piece before.  Maybe I'll visit the Naxos library later today.

Oh, this one's a keeper, Ray!

Well......as I'm listening to it.  No wonder it's so beautiful.  Look at the five instruments Wolfgang wrote for in this piece?  With all five, he had the magic touch.  0:)

[karlhenning]

Is that disc this disc?

That's the one. And . . .

So, what do you say to those who claim that Brainin is not for diabetics? (I like that recording, but I also see the point... )

I don't think the tone is so sweet as to mar the music;  sure I should have no objection to a 'drier' reading, either.
