Flos Campi from this glorious box:

Rachmaninov: Piano Concertos 2 & 3. Khatia Buniatishvili. Jarvi/Czech. Virtuosic performances and a recording that really highlights the piano.  Buniatishvili is excellent in the Third and quite quick and powerful in the Second but without a lot of empathy. The orchestra under Jarvi is excellent. Recommended for the Third and worth listening to the Second for a different type of reading which you might like.

Pleasant surprise to see you back MI, cheers! 

Thanks, Josh! Didn't see you much at the other forum, so I figured you'd be here.

In my quest for the definitive Missa Solemnis, my choice has settled on 2 Concertgebouw recordings, each with different and equal virtues: Jochum and Bernstein. These two.

Welcome Mirror Image! 

Incredible coincidence here: I am listening to a recent purchase of this very same Vasks recording!  You recommended this some time ago. 

Excellent release. 

Nice to see you posting again.

Thank you, HIPster. That's a great recording indeed. Wergo releases, or at least in my own experience, have always been highly satisfying both interpretatively and with their audio quality.

Yeah, it was an interesting place for a while (the classical, prog and avant garde threads where cool) but I have my own issues with that place. Plus, a mod was bitching to me about an inconsequential comment that I made to a thread called "Most cringey music"    (seriously, you don't even read about that kind of ridiculousness)

Their mods are such nitpickers 

But I enjoyed it for a while  haven't been there now for several weeks now...

I haven't had any issues with mods there. Of course, everyone's experience is different. I'm kind of burnt out on that particular forum right now. I don't think I'll be posting much or, at least, for now anyway.

How are you enjoying Norgard's music, Karlo? He's still a composer I have yet to connect with.

[Mandryka]

Trio Zimmermann play Schoenberg's op 45 trio. Interpretively, it sounds modern and complex, like it could have been written twenty years ago, not like a piece of expressionist music from first half of the 20th century. The tone they make is rather nice: shadowy, dusky, grey-shades. It's not furious in any way. This is a performance worth hearing I think.

Does anyone have the Arditti recording of op 45? If so, could they upload it for me?

CD 13 of this box.
Ute Gremmel Geuchen recorded four CD'S as a pupil from Ewald Kooiman.
I will not return to these interpretations, for me they fall far below what Kooiman started with.

JS Bach: Prelude & Fugue BWV 536, Trio in d minor BWV 583 & Prelude & Fugue BWV 547 played by Lionel Rogg on the Pedal-Harpsichord....

I think this recording displays rather well, why Walcha wanted Rogg to be his successor in Frankfurt.
