Yet another young violinist in the Shostakovich No. 1

[asin]B01MYDVIJT[/asin]

But the solo playing on this one is special.  Robert Maxham in Fanfare says "should set a standard for the next several generations in the way David Oistrakh's did for the last several."  Very high praise indeed.

I'm less satisfied with how the orchestra is captured.

This one was hard to find on Tidal.  It's not listed by composers or artists.  I finally found it by searching on the title of the Gubaidalina work.

To the bolded text, a shame. I'll probably never listen to the performance because of this, but it's not like I don't already have my favorites in this masterpiece.

Now playing La méditation de Purun Bhagat, Op.159 from this set:

[Madiel]

Dvorka c.1876 (though in some cases this dating is a bit uncertain)

2 Minuets for piano, B.58 (Poroshina)
4 Choruses, B.59 (Canticorum Iubilo)
Moravian Duets (2nd set), B.60 (Prague Singers)
Evening Songs, B.61 (partial, a couple of different singers, and for some reason the streaming service with the one complete version doesn't make it available in my country)
Moravian Duets (3rd set), B.62 (Prague Singers)

I prefer Mutter/Gergiev on DG for the Gubaidulina.

Scriabin - Prefatory Action (from Mysterium)

[Madiel]

Liszt, Dante Symphony

[asin]B000V1Z0DU[/asin]
Revisiting for the first time in quite a few years. My Liszt collection, such as it is, is rarely on my radar.

Sunleif Rasmussen: Symphony no.2 /Storgårds etc./ Dacapo CD

... based on old Nordic mythology. A bit like "updated Jon Leifs, at times with a hint of Gorecki´s 2nd".
Pretty accessible, it seems.

Scriabin - Prefatory Action (from Mysterium)

That's not Scriabin. That's Nemtin. 

[amw]

Definitely planning to get back to my Beethoven exploration but first, this which just came in

[asin]B000OCXMDQ[/asin]

I gotta say I would take this D959 over Zimerman's pretty easily.

J.S.BACH
Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord

Elizabeth Blumenstock & John Butt



I am still listening to the Sonatas for violin and harpsichord, since in the last few months I have slightly abandoned music to make room for other interests. Wonderful music !

[ComposerOfAvantGarde]

Music Anthology of Young Russian Composers

Currently on Left-on-Board by Anton Svetlichny for violin and piano. A pretty cool collection of works, very pleasant all the way through

TD CD 4 Mozart

[Turner]

Kuhlau Piano Quartets 1+2 / Marco Polo CD

One of the old favourites in the field of Danish chamber music. His Flute Quintets on Naxos or EMI are very fine too.

Morning listening consists of psalms in French by Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck:

That's not Scriabin. That's Nemtin. 

He orchestrated stuff yar but the prefatory is the most authentically complete Scriabin out of the known Mysterium.

Regardless, it's a shame he never lived to get more of it finished
