What are you listening to now?

[Dancing Divertimentian]

Try his Debussy - also very good.

Thanks, yes, I have it and love it. Kocsis has always been high on my favorites list.

Now:



Listening to Symphony No. 5. This is the second time I've listened to this work in the past two days. So beautiful and haunting.

[Mandryka]

All BWV 884, G major from WTC 2



Glen Wilson. The prelude is noble and sad. The fugue is emotionally turbulent



Leon Berben. The prelude is yearning and searching (or something -- an interesting and elusive performance)



Rosalyn Tureck. The fugue is like some fairy music by Mendelssohn.



Davitt Moroney. The prelude is like pealing bells of celebration. (Dry and wooden in the fugue)

[Que]

So, why not start the day with Bach's most famous Toccata? 

   

Disc 1 with the Toccatas for organ. Léon Berben plays the Hagerbeer/Schnitger organ of the Grote Sint Laurenskerk in Alkmaar.

Info on the recording on the label Ramée and samples HERE.

My "purchase of the year" for 2014 at this point. . .

Essential if you are interested in this repertoire.

Hi, that Schütz is on my to-look-into list!

Just in case you are looking around for a recording of part III: don't go for Bernius, was definitely a disappointment to me....

Thanks!

Sorry it was disappointing. . .  Bummer.

I am looking at this one for part III:
[asin]B000BTE4L6[/asin]

OOP it seems.  Perhaps a new edition will be released?

Not sure what to make of that "new" price there!  Yikes.  That's just silliness. . .

Please do check out the complete work by Schutz on Brilliant, everybody dances around them, but they are really very good, its cheap a darn beautiful. Essential acquisition to my ears.
And I am saying this having plenty of other interpretations, amongst them Bernius, about which I am a tad more positive as the well respected Que.

[The new erato]

A small Zelenka party here with two freshly arrived Nibiru discs bought from arta.cz. Superb packaging and service.

[asin]B00AJ3AB7U[/asin]
[asin]B00H45GT0Y[/asin]

Superb music, and I particularly like the recording and performance on the first of these discs.

[TheGSMoeller]

Celibidache nails the Adagio.

Surprised nobody called me out on this not so funny joke.

Now listening to...

Thank you Chen Tao!

Your insights are always appreciated by me. . .

I'm going to add that Brilliant set to the wish list. 

My recent "discovery" of Schutz has me craving more of his music.
