I like Bernstein's earlier efforts, the youthful vitality carries the day, despite the interest of the 'probing for feeling' later style. My Sunday opener:



From when he had New York in his hip pocket.

Me too! Now making some inroads into Haitink's Shostakovich set with no 4.

Me too. I prefer the Sony stuff, now nicely remastered, to his DG, despite the VPO. It's way cheaper too.

TD Bartok, Mikrokosmos, Kocsis

[Wakefield]

Cantata of the day: BWV 89 "Was soll ich aus dir machen, Ephraim?" (22nd Sunday after Trinity)
Merkus Klein, soprano, Soloist from the Tölzer Knabenchores
Paul Eswood, alto
Max van Egmond, bass 
Leonhardt-Consort
Gustav Leonhardt



Perfect renditions of BWV89-90 under Leonhardt.

It's amazing to listen to how Leonhardt always achieves a perfect balance between devotional seriousness and a sort of (airy) transparency of all the musical lines involved.

Now:



Listening to this recording yet again. Blistering performance. This may be my favorite fourth on record now.

Encore - just because I likes it and this performance is captivating.  Fun Fact :  nearly all of Franck's greatest works were written in the last five years of his life.  (subtext : there's still time for us)

Gordo,

Is that as good as it promises to be? I like the look of it.

Some Schubert four hands piano music and violin and piano music.

[Wakefield]

Gordo,

Is that as good as it promises to be? I like the look of it.

Yes, Gurn, excellent and recorded in crystal clear sound which is amazing for recordings from almost 60 years ago.

Nice cover, indeed, both Brahms and Tchaikovsky seem Thunderbirds' characters.
