Gounod - Dvorak - Richard Strauss

This sunny music is pure nostalgia.De Dvorak serenade in D is music without troubles.

First time listening to the music of Anton Zimmermann, a few tracks from this soon-to-be release are available on Apple Music.

Mahler

I don't listen to these songs very often. Why ? Because I love them so much.

Dvorak’s wind serenade is my favourite work of his, and one of the very first of anything I heard in concert.

Bruckner's 8th from Munchner & Knappertsbusch...

André · « **Reply #119669 on:** August 15, 2018, 03:05:53 PM »

What’s your opinion on that one, Greg ?

André · « **Reply #119670 on:** August 15, 2018, 03:12:12 PM »

Concerto no 2. Typical Vieuxtemps: sprightly, lyrical, elegant, with the usual devilish pyrotechnics.

Concerto no 3 begins. It is exactly 75% longer than its predecessor, with the first movement as long as that of the Brahms concerto. I expect a nice time.

I 'm glad you like it, do you know this recording?

No I don’t. I guess you recommend it ? It’s not as often recorded as its sister work, the Serenade for strings op 22. You’ve got to love that march and its return at the work’s close.

André · « **Reply #119674 on:** August 15, 2018, 05:29:02 PM »

Very impressive. In my search for recordings of the work (over a dozen) I notice that timings range from 42 minutes to 62 minutes. Most are around 46-50 (Kalish clocks in at 49). Ives insisted that the score was a template for the performer’s artistic feelings, and was not to be construed as a set of technical indications for performance.

Other recommendations ?

Hi, Andre. I love it, up there alongside Wand/Berlin, Boulez/Vienna as my top 8th's. Knapps takes his time with the music, plenty of space for each theme to develop and reveal itself, so be prepared for a broad 8th. I also like some of the nuances that Knapps focuses on, mainly with the dynamics ,and articulation of some of the phrasing. I find the overall flow is very fluid, a more gradual ebb and flow, but still packs a punch at times.
They are performing the Schalk edition, which I believe this is the only recording I've heard of it. Highly recommended!

Thread duty: Prokofiev's 3rd from this disc...

Morning listening - came in the other day:

Goodness, Roberta Invernizzi sounds so.... young!

Enjoying this very much. My thanks to fellow Invernizzi fan HIPster for the heads up, and to Bubbles for the reminder.

A second listen to a couple of performances that didn't register earlier in the week -

Elgar: Symphony No 2 - Edward Gardner conducting the BBC Symphony Orchestra, fine performance, beautifully played and recorded
Vaughan Williams: Dona nobis pacem - Edward Gardner conducting the BBC Symphony Orchestra & Chorus and soloists - from Prom 41 - moving performance.
