What are you listening to now?

  OH YES! Now there is a set I have not played in a very VERY long time!

Yeah, there's definitely some good music here, Marvin. I've been meaning to listen to the whole cycle since it's been a long time for me as well.

Joining in with the Immerseel V now.

Such cool stuff . . . and I cannot believe I snaffled the lot for a $10 download.

[Mandryka]

Pletnev plays Beethoven op 2/2

It sounds like a great pianist pushing the music around for pleasure. It reminds me of what he did with Scarlatti and Mozart sonatas. There are some very intimate and confidential moments.

A superb cycle indeed! (though I can't say I own other cycles to compare to - of course I have heard others, and own that fantastic Herreweghe 9th and Karajan's 70s 5 & 6 for the Judas Priest approach  )

That conjures up an image that is well beyond my limited photoshopping abilities.....

Some super fancy fiddling.  Cerovsek should record more.

Gosh, that sounds very different from the Juilliard,

[Sadko]

Nice! I have that set, too. I definitely will be giving it a spin soon.

Yes, I like it a lot too (the symphonies), and I didn't stop with no. 8.

Yes, I recognise this impression.

I'll succumb to peer pressure and listen to that too... but first, another hour of Scarlatti.

Some proper Beethoven.

Bruckner: Symphony No. 5 In Bb Major, WAB 105, "Tragic"

2013's grand champion in the category of Best Album with the Worst Cover is Katarzyna Popowa-Zydron's marvelous Chopin piano recital, which reveals a really wonderful performer... she entered into the Chopin competition long ago, but exited due to a sudden illness. Maybe this explains her comparative anonymity - if so, what a shame.

[TheGSMoeller]

Oh, I like this. And I am really digging the 1887 edition.

Listening to The Planets. Superb performance in stellar sound. One of my favorite performances of this masterwork.
