Now:



Listening to The Eternal Gospel in a wholly satisfactory selection of choral works from this Czech master.

[André]

Rare but interesting repertoire, beautiful artistry from the players.

[Kontrapunctus]

Wonderfully played and recorded.

[Mirror Image]

Now Ancerl's smoking performance of Sinfonietta from this recording:



This is so much better than Neumann's who just sounds too soft-edged and doesn't really let the music rip like it should. This Ancerl is more along the lines of Mackerras' with the Wiener Philharmoniker on Decca, but obviously with a much more idiomatic orchestra. I'm certainly not saying the Neumann isn't without merit as it's obviously a well-played performance, but Ancerl really understands the wildness of this work and that it should be treated with much more abandon.

Atterberg: Symphony for strings, op. 53

Camerata Nordica, Ulf Wallin

What a beautiful work! It's like the 'Cinderella' among his symphonies.

I seemed to have avoided this work up until a few days ago - I love it already! (especially the slow movement).

Early morning listening



Peter Eötvös: Seven

I love that concerto. And Kopatchinskaja is terriffic.

That's one I should revisit. I'm very fond of Eötvös's music.
