What were you listening to? (CLOSED)

[SonicMan46]

Haydn, Joseph - String Quartets, Op. 76 - still making my way through the Buchberger Quartet box and nearing the final discs - I've found this an excellent valued set; my 'comparison' recording this time is Quatuor Mosaiques; in this process, I've 'culled out' some other performances, replaced w/ a dozen discs of the Quatuor Festetics, and decided to keep the Nomos Quartett in the Op. 50 works; so except for the pre-Op. 9 'early' compositions, now have duplicated recordings and groups that I do indeed enjoy, although there is SO MUCH available!

Good evening all 

Verdi - Requiem (Fricsay)

[listener]

Mendelssohn's Magnificat written at age 13 to celebrate his conversion (to Christianity), and a work by Zelter who was an early teacher of his.  Then Chavez and Revueltas  before the neighbors get home.

I must be an alien, then. The 16th is one of my favourite Langgaard symphonies. It contains in its very compact size the sort of movements he liked to write - heroic, melancholy, weird... I don't look for a progression, or story, although the final bars sound to me like a defiant and triumphant farewell. They remind me of the final peroration of Brian's 30th symphony, they stride just as purposefully. Stupel is electrifying here, Dausgaard is too matter-of-fact. I always play that last movement when I want to be in a certain 'visionary' mood for my writing...

I still have to get into Langgaard symphonies.  Maybe I should just go for the whole box.

Another organ disc, I'm 'afraid':



With music of Bach (J.S., C.P.E. & J.Chr.Fr.) and Krebs (J.L.). Played by Klaas Jan Mulder on the Schnitger organ of the Michäelskerk in Zwolle, NL.

Opus 76 no. 2 in d-minor ("Quinten") has always been a favourite of mine. Especially love the Witches Menuetto!
