What are you listening to now?

[Harry]

Mel Bonis: Le Songe de Cleopatre - Martin/Simon.

This CD is still missing from my collection. It is time I finally buy this.

[Zeus]

Tveitt: 100 Hardanger Tunes, Suites 1 & 4



Great stuff!

[Todd]

Disc 11, the first of two devoted to concerto transcriptions.  Rather than using the main rig, I listened in the 2.1 home theater with the sub firing, and the lovely upper registers were joined by more copious than usual low frequencies.  Most enjoyable.

Now playing the brilliant and enjoyable

HOWARD FERGUSON's
Concerto for Piano and String Orchestra, op.12

Peter Donohoe
Northern Sinfonia

Now:



Listening to Dance Suite. Great stuff for sure.

[Ken B]

Prokkers
Piano sonatas 8,9
Yefim Bronfmann

Less icy steel fingered than Sandor, who sort of defined these sonatas for me.

[ludwigii]

J.S.BACH
Keyboard Concertos Vol I

Angela Hewitt
Australian Chamber Orchestra
Richard Tognetti

Let's see if I can listen to it, being quite irritable to the playing mannered and mawkish of Angela Hewitt. Personally I would give 1 star, although apparently seems all nice.
In my humble opinion this rendition presents a lot of problems, starting with the horrendous sound of the harpsichord. But that is still the least 

[Karl Henning]

Now:



Listening to Dance Suite. Great stuff for sure.

Very nice

Haydn Symphony No.95 C minor, Norrington conducting the RSO Stuttgart




Sarge

[Todd]

Skrowaczewski's Fifth.  This performance has the strengths of Gielen - clarity and structural cohesion - and adds more devotional impact to the mix.  This is my clear favorite of the recent three versions I've heard, and ranks with the best.  Hell, it might be the best.  I think I may have to explore the Fifth a bit more after I'm done with Barenboim's latest cycle.

I wish I had this recording when I hosted the Bruckner 6 comparison, I believe it would've done well. Blomstedt's recording with SFS did not fare so well, although I find that one quite amazing. But I'm seriously contemplating purchasing the rest of this cycle with Leipzig, great sound and superb playing.

I got this cycle recently! Didn't have a Bruckner complete set before. Plan to report on it when it arrives.

[Kontrapunctus]

Beautifully played (I'm slowly coming to terms with vibrato-less playing in Baroque repertoire!) and recorded.
