Fairly typical: technical mastery par excellance with a fair amount of romantic pounding, but this disc holds a gem, Venezia e Napoli, which is simply an amazing piece of pianistic craft and genunine artisty.

I think I'll revisit Venezia e Napoli, it's been a while. (from the same album)

Back in Boston, too.

G'day, Bill!

Hit 102 today....thought some rainy day Tanglewood-and-hum would be some relief.

In honor of Abbado's 80th birthday.

Gustav Mahler--Symphony No.7 in E Minor, hauntingly performed by the Leonard Bernstein led New York Philharmonic. I found their reading of its second movement to be especially effective.
Piotr Chaikovskii--Symphony No.1 in G Minor, Op.13 {"Winter Dreams"} and Symphony No.2 in C Minor, Op.17 {"Little Russia"}, once again featuring Maestro Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic.
Ralph Vaughan Williams--Symphony No.4 in F Minor and Symphony No.6 in E Minor. Both works performed by the New Philharmonia Orchestra under Sir Adrian Boult.

Really like that disk, Bill. Amon Ra has quietly turned out some PI gems over the years. Wish they were more readily available, or at least advertised a bit more. Anyway, that was my first exposure to K 439b, such a nice combination of instruments. Of course, the versions for 3 bassett horns aren't bad either.

Chopin Mazurkas, played by Garrick Ohlsson

[Todd]

Haven't listened to this in a while.  Today seems as good a day as any to revisit it.

Chopin Mazurkas, played by Garrick Ohlsson

Love those performances, and love that music.

I'm listening in on Kitajenko's Prokofiev: symphonies seven and five.
