Music that reminds one how good forgotten composers can be!

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.

G'day, Karl & co.!
What a coincidence, as I just listened to Staier's recording of that sonata of Papa's. :)

Indeed!

I'm sure you'd enjoy the Josquin disc, too, Greg. It's certainly a nice contrast to the superb Cinquecento disc of Richafort, Josquin & others.

I had been listening for a couple of days to the last pair of CDs from the Beghin box, so this sonata has exerted a fascination upon me . . . .

“Papa”
[Keyboard] Sonata in Eb, H.XVI/52
Ekaterina Derzhavina

The Adagio has a nice atmosphere to it.

She did seem to me to take the Presto as a modernish pianist would (i.e., on what I have come to consider "the fast side").

And now:

“Papa”
[Keyboard] Sonata in C, H.XVI/50
Ekaterina Derzhavina

This is a sonata I remember from Hamelin demonstrating it in Phil Grabsky's film.

Some more Frescobaldi, does a lot of good to your mood! Especially in such good performances as the present ones.

In recent days, been getting to know Ravel's Violin Sonata No.2...

[asin]B00570JXYC[/asin]

Absolute masterpiece IMHO. Stark and spare and amazingly beautiful. I'm particularly in love with the first movement, but it's all a marvel.
Nobody has to apologise for using their brain.

Gershwin: Cuban Overture, Rhapsody in Blue, An American in Paris (Chailly / Cleveland / Katia and Marielle Labeque) - Still an all-time fave, between the snappy orchestral playing and spectacular sound.

(Available in various incarnations - the one I have has the Chrysler building on the cover.)
