What are you listening to now?

Hillborg: Liquid Marble [Salonen]





Intense, exciting, atmospheric, dramatic and eerie are all words I would use to describe this wonderfully exciting, inventive and absorbing work. It may be relatively short but I find it captivating and intensely gripping.  Listen to it as loud as is possible in your circumstances for best effect. It must be wonderful to hear live.

[ChopinBroccoli]

I have really enjoyed the Petrenko cycle 10, 11, 5, and 9, but as yet have not ever listened to Shosty's 1, 2, 3, or 6. This might be the way to go for me

Up until last weekend I mostly (greatly) admired Nielsen's music for winds (his quintet is elite quality imo). I just discovered the fifth and sixth symphonies and am SUPER looking forward to more!!!

Discovering Nielsen, Shostakovich, and Rachmaninoff's symphonies marks one of the great renaissances of inspiration for me since my film music tear back several years ago. Just terrific music.

Shostakovich no 1 is amazing... madcap, sarcastic, pretty, ugly... a roller coaster

If you don't mind an analog recording, Ormandy/Philadelphia did a great reading of it back in the day

Scarlatti, Domenico - Sonata Transcriptions w/ the performers on the two discs below, i.e. two guitars and viola d'amore + harpsichord - well, I own the Scott Ross box on harpsichord and the two volumes of Yevgeny Sudbin on piano (total 36 sonatas, i.e. about 6+%) - checking his website, not sure if he plans to make more.  But I do like transcriptions of music from the Baroque and Classical eras, especially in chamber arrangements.  Dave

Bruckner: Symphony No. 00 [Tintner]





This may be a "study" symphony but it is much more than that. It is a work filled with wonderful melodies, a logical progression and some fine orchestration as well.

[aligreto]

Thanks for sharing! 

Cheers André. That Hillborg CD is self recommending really.

[Karl Henning]

HIP, HIP, hooray!

I like Szeryng as a violinist. The only other complete set that I own of these works is the Perlman/Barenboim cycle.
