Gonna take a while to get used to the new name but glad you're still here 

Thanks Alien


Now playing:



Grieg: Peer Gynt Suites #1 & 2 - Bernstein/NYPO

One of the non-Sibelius couplings from the box - haven't listened to this music in ages (it's pretty good!).

[Christo]

Now, Merikanto's Symphony no. 2 War Symphony:

What happened to the old one?

Hey Orfeo, nothing too interesting - I deleted my old account in a fit of pique and ended up starting a new one (again) not long after.
I don't know if anyone else feels the same but there's been a few times (over the 8 or so years I've been here) when I got a bit bored of the Forum and felt strongly that I didn't want to participate anymore - but there's no escape from GMG for someone like me I guess.

Recent listening:

Shostakovich: Symphony #6 In B Minor, Op. 54 - Petrenko/RLPO

For a first listen - great as expected.
Dare I say it, but this is becoming my favorite Shostakovich Symphony Cycle.

[Turner]

Beethoven -  piano concertos / Rubinstein,Leinsdorf / rca LP box

Nice, for a change, though not really a favourite.

Only if your mind is so attuned. I see it as great work of art.

Morning listening:



John Jenkins (1592 - 1678): Consort Music

Q

That is a fantastic set that I forget about and don't listen to nearly enough.  I just bought the Phantasm/Tye set and will be preoccupied with it for now, but will jump to Fretwork soon.

Ars Nova Copenhagen / Paul Hillier
First Drop

Looks interesting - who are the composers?

[Madiel]

Looks interesting - who are the composers?

I can answer as I was just looking at the album myself: Howard Skempton, Michael Gordon, David Lang, Kevin Volans, Pablo Ortiz, Louis Andriessen, Gabriel Jackson, Steve Reich, Terry Riley.  According to the blurb most things are first recordings.

[Mandryka]

Honi soit qui mal y pense.

The artist is exhibiting her body in a revealing pose, she's asleep, her head is turned away, she has no chance to respond to our gaze. Defenceless, passive and silenced, laid bare for the the viewer.

The way he's lit it is also interesting.

Oh.  I was confused by the use of Ars Nova in the title.  Thanks.

Thread duty: Brahms, Sextet No.1

It's over 3 years since I last listened to this. Which terrifies me.

That's the name of the group. Ars Nova Copenhagen.
