[Autumn Leaves]

Today's listening:



First 2 Discs of this box: Piano Sonatas, The Scherzos and various other stuff.
The Disc with the Piano Sonatas is probably my favourite in the box.

[The new erato]

Last evening, this:



Beautiful Huguenot psalms. Also made a dent in the big Naxos box set of Debussy orchestral Music.

[Mandryka]

Rather definite Words.

I haven't listened to this recording more than once (about three weeks ago), but I do not recall it as being that bad.

Yes, I was in a bad mood last night. This morning parts of it sound pretty good!

[Autumn Leaves]

Now playing:



Symphony #24

Pretty good!

[amw]

Now Schubert, the big quintet with Slava. And this really is exceptional.

Yes, highly recommended. A top 10 recording of the piece, and probably the best thing they've done.

Now playing:



Symphony #24

Pretty good!

The 24th and the 27th are my personal favorites from Miaskovsky. They really got under my skin the most.

Sampling a smattering of new releases today.



On the Brahms & Fauré album, I'm listening to neither Brahms nor Fauré, but rather "Concerto in Waves" by Aaron Jay Kernis.
The choral CD is an Icelandic group singing mostly Icelandic music - the Icelandic texts are bookended by MacMillan, Tavener, and Pärt.

Brahms: Requiem [Alsop]....





Quite an accomplished, smooth and rounded performance; devotional with the requisite gravitas and with fine choral singing. The volume needs to be turned up a tad above normal for some reason to fully appreciate this one. Well worth a listen.

Oh, rats, the NML files are messed up and keep skipping around.

I would be interested in a comparison of this to the other Naxos recording, with the Warsaw PO and Antoni Wit...
