I wish Norrington would use landscapes for his cover art.

;D ;D :D

I was actually just thinking about how good the Gardiner Brahms' covers look in comparison.

There's our Sarge, trying to help out our Greg!  :)

Greg and Brian (Brian's comment that he preferred swift Finales). Sampling some of the fast ones I own (Furt 11:42, Norrington 11:15, Welser-Möst (coming up next) 11:37 and, surprisingly, Celi in Stuttgart 11:32, three minutes faster than his Munich performance on EMI.

On FB, Hamish suggested this (the work, not necessarily this performance) to shake the rainy January doldrums:

Bruckner

That is one of my favorite Brahms symphony cycles.  I cannot decide if I prefer Gardiner or Manze, but those two have been topping my list since I first heard them.  On a different note, since I know you enjoy the Faure Requiem, you should hear Gardiner's recording of that work.

The Manze cycle is so good, his tempi for the 3rd symphony are perfect. I give the slight edge to Gardiner, actually I should say the slight edge to the ORR, I just love their tone.

And I'll search out the Faure, thanks!

I think I'll spin this one (from Spotify) later. I do like their 6th, and many other recordings  from Wacky Roger.

Wacky indeed. He dispatches the first movement in 14:57  8)  ...four minutes faster than Harnoncourt.

Krenek's 4th symphony:

[asin]B004VCORQ6[/asin]

I'm not sure why I don't listen to more Krenek, other than that there are so many other composers with a claim to my attention. I might characterise the symphony here as "meat and potatoes" music: it's not terribly original and there's nothing in it that jumps out at me and makes me think 'wow', but it's well-crafted, with a compelling musical narrative and plenty to say within it--and the music never sags or resorts to note-spinning. Satisfying stuff.
"I don't at all mind actively disliking a piece of contemporary music, but in order to feel happy about it I must consciously understand why I dislike it. Otherwise it remains in my mind as unfinished business."
-- Aaron Copland, The Pleasures of Music

I gather that you love that recording as well?

I am debating what to bring to Australia. I am considering maybe simply a mini box out of the huge Furtwangler box of 144 CDs.
Do what I must do, and let what must happen happen.
