What are you listening to now?

[Todd]

Looks as if you're not alone with that one.

If every Gramophone Recording of the Month were this good, I'd have twelve definite must-haves each year.  The track record is not that good.  In this case, though, Holy shit is this good!

Just listening to samples, they do sound interesting.

Definitely a composer that needs to be more know.
I have a mixed harpsichord/ fortepiano disc by Carole Cerasi (Metronome)

How about this recording, is it on a period instrument?

Whereas in Beethoven Bavouzet has so far given mediocre results at best, this Prokofiev set is actually very good.
Edit: very, very good.

Holy shit is this good!

Seconded.

Bernard Foccroulle plays tientos by Francisco Arauxo.

Dark, lyrical, not at all severe. There's a sense of, like, he's just enjoying all the colours that you can make from the organ, and enjoying  making it sing out. The power of a whole choir at the end of his fingers.

[Harry]

First listen. Rather a raw deal this time, I was not please at all. See review.

....the Fourth a disaster!

Aw, Harry, When you hear strong masculine music like this, sit up and USE YOUR EARS LIKE A MAN! 

Although I enjoy Ives Fourth more than you, I do like his first three symphonies much more.

Lego is not about chaos, but creatively building with different shape and color bricks that click, and work, together. Similar to Ives' 4th symphony.

I think I'll listen to MTT's recording of Symphony No. 4 now and feel the testosterone flowing in my ears
