The day has progressed a little further in these - momentarily windy and rainy parts...

Nothing like a superb, classic Beethoven performance on a rainy afternoon!



Q

I really like the 7th on that set.... wonderful pacing and structural control.

A different German 7th (& 8th) for me, from this classic set:

This week, no music for me but the sound of the waves on the Caribbean Sea .

You can always say that you're listening to Messiaen in you hear birds...

Ligeti "Chamber Concerto for 13 Instrumentalists"
I love it. However, I always skip that section in the second half of the third movement with those squeaking-squawking woodwinds. I can do without it.

Nice! I wish I could hear them on vinyl one day. Casals/Serkin are one of my favorite versions of the Cello Sonatas. How is the sound on your LP?

I was really enjoying the first half, but now I am thinking that it is too long.

This set is a beauty.  Warm and wonderful without diminishing Serkin's sparkle.

I always think that Casal's cello is a bit prominent at first, but then decide that it all works so well together...
