Early morning listening



Peter Eötvös: Seven

I love that concerto. And Kopatchinskaja is terriffic.

Autumn Leaves

Tonight's listening:



The Tempest
Fate
Hamlet

Dante Symphony

Another beautiful work.



Piano Concerto #2

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

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

Perchance I am, though bound in wires and circuits fine,
yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,
are sweeter far than any stage could hear.

I'm pretty sure I've listened to Herminie, yet I half-blush to find I do not recollect it at all.

I dont think there is anybody else here listening to Vaclav Tomasek.  A Czech composer, born two decade before Schubert and outlived him by the same amount.  The song cycle here, quite reminiscent of Schubert's is really lovely.  I will be getting the new Supraphon release of this composer when it becomes available

Wow! Just ... wow!  :-X


I quipped initially that it must have been done by the girlfriend of one of the artists.

Then I asked. It was made by the girlfriend of one of the artists!  ;D ??? :P

Disc three, the first and second string quartets from Brahms.  I bought the set for the Schumann but the Brahms ain't none too shabby.  The same traits inform the first two quartets that informed the other discs.  An excellent all-rounder.  Maybe not Budapest Quartet good here, but that's a tall order.
