Now playing another superb disc:

Really superb, some of the best Brahms playing I've heard.

I'm a big fan of everything I've heard from this duo (all but maybe one disc). Their Brhams piano trio disc with Jian Wang is also tops.


Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

Thats's a CD I haven't listened to in ages. I'm not really into organ music, but I got it many years ago when I was trying to collect as much Schoenberg as possible. High time I revisit it.  :)

Some Hindemith here as well:

Hah!  I got it for the Schoenberg piece(s) as well, but the Hindemith made a nice bonus too.  The Pepping fugues struck me as extremely dull, though.

I just played their Grieg disc, and yes. Extremely fine.

Taking inspiration from ritter, who seems to be very fond of his music  :)

Nono: Da un diario italiano (1964) for 72 voices
From this recording:

[asin]B00005O7ST[/asin]
A short piece from a project which never took off.

Really amazing. Somehow anticipating Ligeti.
Nono knew how to write music for a choir, indeed

Indeed, I've been fixated with Nono's music as of late  ;). I've always very much admired his "orthodox Darmstadt" music, but am now reappreciating his later, "quietist" period.

I still haven't heard Da un diario italiano. Your comment makes that CD go straight to my wishlist, GioCar.   :)

Saluti cordiali,

First listen to the last thing in the box: Piano Concerto No.10 (Radu Lupu joining Perahia)

I haven't even finished the 1st movement yet, but this already sounds like one of the most enjoyable things in what has already been a pretty enjoyable box.
