What are you listening to now?

[Ken B]

Bought it yesterday in a bookstore. 

You drive a model T Andrei? 

[Ken B]

From the EMI Eminence box, half randomly picked.
Violin concertos by Beethoven and Mendelssohn. Monica Huggett OAE  Mackerras cond.  PI performance as may be deduced from the performers.
Mozart Requiem London Phil Welzer-Most cond.
Rachmaninov PC 2 Paganini Rhapsody Philip Fowke piano LPO Temirkamov cond.
Never heard of Fowke before but he is doing a first class job here.

Fowke's Ravel concerti are top notch.

For Sunday

How's the Willan? My great aunt studied with him.

How's the Willan? My great aunt studied with him.

Solidly conservative turn-of-the-century Anglo-Catholic, won't produce references to Herbert's Howls, for instance.  It's a good, clear recording.   
Not very accurate IMHO is http://lowchurchmanguide.tumblr.com/post/88388479744/healey-willan
Thread duty`
SCHÜTZ:  Musikalisches Exequiem
Westphalian Kantorei      Wilhelm Ehmann, cond.
a fine recording, good separation of the choirs and text with translation.  Might be nervousness, soloists sound a bit older than we are now used to.

IVES: "The Short Piano Pieces"
(actually the pieces are short, not the piano)
The Anti-Abolitionist Riots, In the Inn, Varied Air With Protests, 3-Page Sonata, 22, Some Southpaw Pitching
James Sykes, piano
Issued c.1964 on Folkways, came with a very good 8-page insert of notes, very useful as information about Ives was still quite rare then.
BACH:  Passacaglia and Fugue in c, Pastorale in F, Toccata Concertata in E, 3 Chorale Preludes
Jiří Reinberger, organ  (unidentified, presumably in Prague)
Clear, fine performances, still enjoyable.   'Nun freut euch...' gets a very sensitive performance.
WIENIAWSKI:  Violin Concertos 1 in f# op.14, 2 in d op. 22
Itzhak Perlman, violin     London Philharmonic Orch.     Seiji Ozawa, cond.
The f# key is a bit unusual but convenient for the violin as it keeps the A string open for checking intonation.
