Nice to see someone who has unwrapped the box.  ;)

Have you heard any of the BIS recordings (they don't do every concerto), or is this your first exposure to this music?
Nobody has to apologise for using their brain.

Erkki Melartin. Symphonies No. 5&6. Tampere PO, Leonard Grin.

Highly original works, scored in such a way that surprise after surprise meets you in beautiful melodies. Truly magical at times. The sound world of Melartin is very much akin of Scandinavian composers of his time and before. Late romantic and very well thought out.

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.

New arrival.
Francisco Correa de Arauxo. (1584-1654)
Organ music. Francesco Cera plays on one of the oldest Renaissance organs in Spain, built around 1550 by an unknown Spanish organ maker, with almost all its original pipes. The organ has an original pitch ( a tone and a half above 440 Hz), which it was in Arauxo's time, and is very high!
Recorded at the Church of Santa Maria, Garrovillas de Alconetar, Extremadura, Spain. (April 2017)

Your ears have to adjust to the brightness, but once adapted to it and having the right volume, you get a marvelous account of his music.

Yes, its a great work cilgwyn. I like the enthusiastic member of the audience's shout out at the end.

I don't think I'll play it when my wife is around the house. The cat enjoys it though.

Symphony 3 - a very fine work in the Chavez/Copland tradition but original too and 'catchy' in part:

You're absolutely right again: I love Guarnieri's symphonies, far better than those by Villa-Lobos. Spicy neoclassism, yummy.  ;D

Now playing:



Wow! No, really: wow! Kozeluch gives Mozart and Haydn a hard run for their money. Mind-blowing stuff.

Kemp English in the Lozeluch keyboard sonatas has been on my radar for a while, but he's recorded about a dozen discs and at premium prices (at least on Amazon) - as an alternate, I've purchased the 4 CDs below (2-CD sets) w/ Jenny Kim on a fortepiano (built by Michael Walker in Germany, 1987 after an 1795 Anton Walter, Vienna) - have not played these discs in a while, so coming up next - ALSO, the English recordings are available on Spotify, so will plug my iPad into my den stereo and do some listening.  Dave :)
