Listening to Symphony No. 2. Riveting performance.

Webern: String Trio Op. 20

TheGSMoeller

Dysnomia from the trio Dawn of Midi. Minimalism, jazz, classical, trance, it doesn't matter what genre this music falls into, it's unique and noteworthy with its rhythmically driven core. Each of the nine tracks are linked and smoothly segue into each other, and although the album feels as one whole, each track develops into its own atmosphere. Dawn of Midi consists of Aakaash Israni (bass), Amino Belyamani (piano) and Qasim Naqvi (percussion).

Listening to the Requiem. Absolutely gorgeous and this is my preferred setting for this work.

Bliss.

yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,
are sweeter far than any stage could hear.

Good day my friend.

Like MI said, I think too, that this recording is one of the best I heard with Britten's piano/orchestra works. State of the art recording too.

First listen. Alfredo Casella.

http://walboi.blogspot.nl/2014/02/casella-alfredo-1883-1947-orchestral.html?spref=tw
Quite an interesting piece, Casella's Second Symphony  :) ...written under the spell of none other than Gustav Mahler! I find Casella a rather fascinating composer, inconsistent perhaps, but ususally very rewarding. His later Sicilian-inflected neoclassicism is also very enjoyable. His ballet La Giara (with a scenario by Pirandello!) is a favourite of mine...
