I won't be posting here for another few days because my music listening room is currently under transformation into a grandchildren's bedroom/playroom. I'll be geared up again only when that is done to the satisfaction of the Minister of Public Works (aka the Missus)  .

A wonderful Husz Organ from 1664.

This turns out to be a very nice organ for these renaissance pieces. The recording is colourful, warm and often sounds quite intimate in scale. Zerer is cool, there's a sort of laid back, softly spoken feeling about quite a bit of the way he plays which suits me just fine, and when he does play more emphatically he isn't jarring or blustering - just passionate. He takes you gently and firmly by the hand and leads you calmly through the music; he persuades, never cajoles, never hectors, never browbeats.. Thanks for mentioning it.

[The new erato]

Good disc, the music not quite on Monteverdi level.

I wish you the best of luck with that

WARNING! Check with your psychiatrist to see if you are healthy enough to listen to Louis Vierne's Symphony #6 for Organ!    

[Madiel]

Scriabin, op.3 Mazurkas (Lettberg).

Frankly, about the least interesting thing that Scriabin wrote. Not because they are not characteristic of his style, but because many of the pieces don't have much personality.

Hmm. His Mahler was excellent. How is his Bruckner?

Sonics are very vivid.  And four movements in, the musicianship seems good.

Hi, Jeffrey, I hope you enjoy that performances as much as I have. Easily my favorite 14th.

I can certainly see why it would be.

The last time I'll ever hear a Dvorak symphony for the first time, unless they find another one hidden somewhere...

Now streaming Dvorak, Symphony No.3

EDIT: Hey, this is pretty good.

[Autumn Leaves]

Now playing:



Mahler: Symphony #4 In G - Karajan/BPO

Good, though not among my favorite versions of the piece (like Karajan's M5, M6 & M9 recordings).

Yes I think so too! - Do you like the 4th Symphony?.
