What are you listening to now?

[Wakefield]

Only just purchased,  but I had to break this one in soon:

Since I took a liking to the recorder, this had to be on the menu.
Who else than Frans Brüggen? Who did for the revival of the recorder what Leonhardt did for the harpsichord.

Q

It's great, Que! I know you have had this box set in your wish-list for a long time. You're a methodic guy. 

A warm recommendation for this one:

Frans Brüggen Edition Vol. 2 - Italian Recorder Sonatas

[asin]B000000SM7[/asin]



Brüggen at his best as flutist: virtuosity without pedantry, full of adrenaline and flexibility.

There is not a minute of boredom here. Anthological.

CD 3: furioso ma non troppo

Thanks Gordo for the recommendation!  Excellent 4 disc set.   

[ZauberdrachenNr.7]

This, which arrived yesterday

I listened also to the Vengerov/Slava Prok VC1, and was underwhelmed.
Might just be I was distracted.

...or so looking forward to the Messiaen!

Well, Bart Kuijken of course

Of course. And he studied with Bruggen.

rain today, making what light there be rather meagre...
so ALBÉNIZ: Iberia complete + Pavana-capricho op. 12 and Pavana op. 83
with GINASTERA: Danzas argeninas op. 2  Milonga  and Malambo
Pola Baytelman, piano

Still in a John Kinsella mood, now exploring further his Symphony No. 9 (2003/4) for strings only, commissioned and played by the Limerick based Irish Chamber Orchestra. Woven through its three main movements (three 'recitatives' preceding each of them) are motifs from the hymn tune Jesu meine Freude, both in the version by Crüger and the one by Bach. The total effect is again very satisfying and indeed symphonic.

Maybe you also like Parra. He's an admirer of Ferneyhough and influenced by him. My impression of Ferneyhough is that he stayed an amateur (nothing wrong with that ). I dig Parra better.

I've started to listen to Hypermusic Prologue on spotify. Does the CD contain the words?

From the really big Haydn box on Brilliant:



String quartets op. 50 No. 1-3 - Buchberger Quartet

Am enjoying this very, very much!

Go Ritter! I favor the Buchberger Quartet as well, but there seemingly are so many choices when it comes to Haydn. Still, these are the one I always return to after revisiting Kodaly, Angeles, Mosaiques and many others. Wonderful that Brilliant included them in this larger set.

What do you think of it?

To fight against the melancholy after loosing this afternoon the title of the professional Chilean league of football:



Clearly, here Jaap Schröder plays the right notes and beautifully, I should add.

To console me for paying a good deal of money for a good deal of Bach cantatas, on a account of a good deal...

From Haydn to Beethoven, from one really big box to another:

Karlo, such as you tell it, I think "Ich will den Kreuzstab gerne tragen" would have been more appropiate!

Hah! Those are just some of the ones I found on Youtube of the cantatas in the box, although that one is in the box too, of course.

I really don't have that many versions to compare, but found the Buchbergers actually really good...I am tempted, though,  by the pioneering Schneider finally resissued on Music & Arts...

Cheers,
