[Lisztianwagner]

Geirr Tveitt
Piano Concerto No.5

[Willoughby earl of Itacarius]

Geirr Tveitt
Piano Concerto No.5

This composer is underrated most of the time. The Naxos recordings did much to get him on the forefront again. Well recorded and performed.

Que's point about Mozart and Coffee is a good one,
so I grabbed the first Mozart disc that I could find among the piles of CDs strewn about.
Wasn't as easy as I thought... and after a few minutes of searching it turned out to be this one:


WAM + Michael Haydn
Duo Sonatas
Rachel Podger & Jane Rogers
Channel Classics SACD
German link - UK link

My memory was correct. Very classy stuff, but G#ddamn, what a boring album.

Symphony No. 5,

[springrite]

Paul Jacobs in recital:

Music by Beethoven (Waldstein, Op 10/3); Busoni, Falla, Ravel and Chambonnieres (ARBITER)

[Sergeant Rock]

Compared to Goodman's Third, it is pretty wimpy...okay, polite    Goodman is more robust, exciting. Prefer the sound of his violins too. Goodman's harpischord in the first movement is damned annoying though. Sounds like a six-year-old having a temper tantrum, banging on the instrument like a maniac. I think it's time to invest in Fischer.

After the violence of the fifth of Prokofiev some Mozart.

CD 15.


Symphony No. 39 in mi bemolle maggiore.
No. 40 in sol minore ( prima versione).

That Fifth is especially good. Not quite as good as Fey's, but it's a near thing

As you kknow, I have been enjoying the first five from Fischer.  No tantrums, just good music.

Violence? Well these two are surely two of Wolfie's war horses, Harry.

I'm happy with the Fischer I do have (21-39 and 55-81). Ordering 1-20 seems sensible

Sure, but compared to Prokofiev, the works are tame bears.
The Andante, second movement of No. 40, is a soft ripple on the surface and rather soothing.

Not a "need to run" scenario, but a decent double time is in order.

Definitely two favorites from Wolfie at this end, Harry.  I still grab the Bernstein.....and even in the sweeping waves of HvK they work nicely.  Hecvk, they even ake Tate sound good.

There is no uncool Bach recording. None.

What about BWV 565 arranged for graphing calculator orchestra?

What about BWV 565 arranged for graphing calculator orchestra?

Or the kazoo version of the Second Brandenburg.
