What are you listening to now?

[Harry]

More or less a new acquisition from a long time ago. Found somewhere in one of the big piles in my listening room.

First listen to Missa in angustiis, aka the "Nelson Mass".

Wow. This one, with its minor key and the somewhat unusual scoring that was forced upon Haydn because the wind players had been fired, is making an immediate impression.

For me, this is still one of the greatest Webern recordings. Marvelous performances.

Indeed...and it shows how beautiful Webern can be. I do, though, prefer Levine/Berlin in the Op.6, especially his very slow, overwhelmingly intense funeral march.

3 Pieces for Orchestra

Takemitsu: Japanese Guitar Music, Vol. 1 - Shin-ichi Fukuda.

I loved this CD, hope you do too. The exquisite Beatles arrangements are the cherry on top.

I do, yes. And I think it was you who pointed out to me that there's a second volume which I subsequently bought. I keep meaning to buy some of Takemitsu's other output, his chamber music or orchestral works. Are you familiar with either of those?

Ives: Symphonies Nos. 2 & 3
Leonard Bernstein, New York Philharmonic Orchestra

[Mahlerian]

For the latter, buy this two-disc set on Brilliant Classics:


This disc (only one duplication with the above) makes a great adjunct:

Those look ideal. Thanks for that.

No - Mahlerian and MI are better sources on Takemitsu - but I can tell you that the guitar series' Volume 3 comes out in November.

And that sounds cool too. Cheers.
