Help, please!

Does anyone have the Horowitz compilation below? If yes, would you be so kind as to let me know its content, disc by disc? I can't find any such info on the net.

This is the listing Qobuz has, Andrei. Sorry the copy/paste was very messy, I trimmed down to works/tracks. No booklet, no breakdown by CDs.

Thanks a lot, Olivier, very helpful. Combining this with the albums listed in discogs.com I hope to be able to assign each track to the corresponding CD (my download contains only the 91 tracks for 1 to 91 and the sleeve). Thank you again.

The composer Akira Ifukube has been mentioned in another thread. I consider a purchase of the Naxos disc of some of his 'serious' music:



... but also that of his film music. He is universally known and revered in Japan as the composer of music for various Godzilla films. Maybe I'll try this one  ::)



What I've heard by Ifukube has been interesting. The Sinfonia Tapkaara is a good piece of music, maybe one of the best ones coming from Japan. Ifukube's works often have rhythmic vitality making them exciting and catchy.
Part of the tragedy of the Palestinians is that they have essentially no international support for a good reason: they've no wealth, they've no power, so they've no rights.

It's all good...

As I have mentioned in other threads, I am in the processing of collecting all of the available recordings of the symphonies of Hovhaness.

The following is one that I am thinking of getting:

[asin]B00005NG5A[/asin]

It contains a recording of the Symphony #15, "Silver Pilgrimage".

I already have the recording with the Louisville Symphony.  Even though this is an old recording it is still quite good.

Is anyone familiar with the Anthony Spain recording and is it worth getting?

Thank you. I downloaded it so there. I guess I'll split it the way I just see fit.  :D

The Amazon site did not list what works were on the recording.  Since many Koch recordings appear to be out of print, I had problems finding what works were on the CD.

The Alan Hohvaness website had a listing of all of the works on the CD.  The CD has two orchestral Hovhaness works that I was not familiar with: Vision From High Rock, Opus 195 and Mountain Of Prophecy, Opus 195.  So I want ahead and purchased the CD.

All I can say is that I have that CD and that I enjoy it. So, a thumbs up from me.

A very nice idea to get all the Hovhaness symphonies. I'm envious, but I think I have to set limits right now; currently I have 18. Some of the lesser known symphonies are surely quite adventurous and rewarding, like the superb no.24, 'Majnun' ...

Anyone heard this one? It will be expensive and the concertos aren't specially interesting for me, but Stockhausen the composer is and so I am a little bit curious to know whether he has anything fresh to say with Haydn and Mozart. I don't think there are any other examples of Stockhausen conducting other people's music.

You can get the Haydn Trumpet Concerto and the Mozart Flute Concerto much more cheaply in this release:

Alas, the WAM Clarinet Concerto is not included.

I got this cheap issue years ago (when I was in a Stockhausen "discovery phase") but, TBH, have absolutely no recollection of it (which probably means it didn't leave much of an impression at the time). Must revisit soon.

The Stockhausen trumpet thing didn't impress me either.

Jo498

I wonder if I heard these CDs years ago at a friend's or if I was maybe just considering them some time in the past (and as the only piece interesting to me would be the clarinet concerto, I didn't get them just as a curiosity). Didn't Stockhausen also write cadenzas for these concerts? In any case regardless of whether I ever heard these recordings or only read reviews, I seem to recall that they were not as special as one might imagine/hope for.

Indeed he did. Contents of the Stockhausen Edidion CD:

"Haydn – Trumpet Concerto with cadenzas by Stockhausen (Markus Stockhausen)
Mozart – Flute Concerto in G with cadenzas by Stockhausen (Kathinka Pasveer)
Mozart – Clarinet Concerto with cadenzas by Stockhausen (Suzanne Stephens)"
