What are you listening to now?

[Daverz]

I'm afraid I don't have much to compare it with. And generally my frame of reference isn't all that large. But I can say that this version sounds more authentic in that throughout it's performed at a tempo far more suitable for dancers, rather than something you might hear at a concert. That's not to say it's lacking anything as an audio only experience, because it's vivid and spirited and colourful. The other recording I have is of the original version by Davin/Rhineland-Pfalz State Philharmonic Orchestra. That one features a smaller orchestra and in comparison perhaps sounds a little more restrained and detailed.

Thanks.  Listening to it now on Tidal.  They seem to have all the "Les Balles Russe" series (10 volumes).

...it's an impressive recording.

Also listened to Cambreling's very fine Harold en Italie

And another listen to Rangström's exciting Symphony No. 3.  It's a pleasure to add another composer to my Scandanavian pantheon.

Why do you say across the pond. I see a US marketplace sellers (iDeal, importcds) listing it for $14.

Thanks Scarpia - my 'search entries' on Amazon USA did not bring up the link above - I'll take a look!  Dave

I've a few of them on CD, including 'Le train bleu' by Milhaud (which I remember discussing with Ritter - must have been years ago!) which I'd like to see danced. Anyway, glad you enjoyed the Schmitt.

I had never heard this work before (big mistake). Opulent, sumptuously post-romantic, ultra-wagnerian. Magnificent stuff!

Clearly you're not an Amazon search virtuoso! (There were some errors in the links to the various formats of that release.)

This bloody always happens whenever I listen to too much Wagner................I put on something like this!

My perfect antidote is rather something like this

[GioCar]

...  I found the two works on this CD at least to be rather boring.  They seem to be endless reveries for strings, very little for the woodwinds or the brass or percussion to do here.  Everyone seems to be wandering around in a somnolent romantic fog.  If the rest of the symphonies are like this,its going to be torture getting through all 16 CDs.
....

You made my day, thanks!

Looks interesting - how is it?

[The new erato]

Auric's extremely fine violin sonata from this disc with a silly cover:

 

Bought for a song from jpc.

Decided to dedicate more time to old favourites that I haven't heard in a long time...

[Maestro267]

Mathias: Lux Aeterna
Lott (soprano), Cable (mezzo-soprano), Walker (contralto), Scott (organ)
Bach Choir, Choristers of St George's Chapel, Windsor
London SO/Willcocks

Haven't listened to this for some time. Wonderful deployment of tuned percussion in places. Like Britten's War Requiem, separate texts are performed by separate ensembles, with the boys' choir accompanied by a small organ.

Yes they are gorgeous. Jean Gilles definitively belongs to that group of composers I admire ardently.

Telemann: Concerti per molti stromenti
Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin

Hey Gordo - sounds like a wonderful recording just in my 'musical sphere'!    Amazon USA has only a MP3 DL for $10 USD - CD available across the pond but not ready to put together a package - of course, my main concern in purchasing digital options is the absence of the liner notes - I'm sure w/ this release, the notes are of interest and instructive - will I miss much w/o the notes?  About to check to see if H. Mundi might offer their notes online (like Hyperion) - thanks for the posting.  Dave

This is one of the hyped recordings of 2017. But I don't "think" it's a good Telemann disc
