What are you listening to now?

Mirror image gave up classical music, after all the CD'S he bought, euummmmm
Never saw that coming.

He entered a prog rock phase,  and while that lasts...months, years, who knows?  But he expects to return to classical eventually.

Meanwhile he can be found in the Diner, seeking out the best music available..

From this disc now the Symphony 2 by Kurka, which is a delight. Shostakovich Symphony 1 meets Walter Piston The Incredible Flutist

A first listen to the Sawallisch ring..

R Strauss: Aus Italien                 Staatskapelle Dresden/Kempe

Still learning to know this piece. Parts are very intriguing. For some reason I keep thinking about Liszt...

Telemann: Wind Concertos        Musica Antiqua Köln/Goebel

Excellent album. It keeps coming back into my listening hours...

New in, and a great performance of sonatas from Vivaldi's Opus 1, that includes "La Folia".


If "La Folia" in particular is what you are after, then this is a great alternative:

The idea that it has to be one or the other, though... I mean, I suppose I do go through 'phases' where either classical or popular music dominates, but we're talking a period of a few weeks.

(I don't really talk about my pop music listening here, but it's all on my blog if anyone cares. Link at the side.)

Just a grammatical note that the name there is in the genitive case 

Happy Friday, Karlo!

Nina Dorliac (soprano)
Sviatoslav Richter (piano)

1 March 1955, Moscow, live

I love Nina Dorliac's interpretations! Her voice is beautiful although sometimes one can hear its limitations, but emotionally I find her way so touching, natural and unaffected. And Richter as her partner seems to react equally naturally and oberservant, but at the same time adding his very differenct, masculine aspects.

Nope, she's a completist and she's consuming him whole like the monster in my avatar!

Sitting in one of my top coffee spots listening to new music from Karl Henning. A great way to start a beautiful day off. Two splendid new works, Nastenka's Timid Sympathy and The Dreamer Explains Himself. Had to replay the section at around 4:00 from The Dreamer when the percussion kicks in, a little funky, a little sinister, very invigorating!
Thanks for the morning music, Karl!

This is the sestercentennial (250! Comme le temps s'envole!) of Rameau's death and I have been listening to all (some are snippets) of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France's online audio offerings of his work.  You can, too :

This is a marvel. I'm enjoying it immensely. Highly recommended for Baroque buffs. (I'm looking at you, Que.  )
