RVW
Symphony № 5 in d minor
London Phil
Bennie

Oh, but I do love this.

[marvinbrown]

  Had a hectic day today. Woke up and had to go to work, emergency at the office. Then the weather turned on me, a violent storm, then thunder  I could hear Thor hammering away.
When I got home I  decided to play this:

  Started with Die Walkure........ It just seemed appropriate.

Time to return to the symphonies of Dag Wiren!

[asin]B00004S5CD[/asin]

[asin]B000009COX[/asin]

No. 2 is so charming and lovely and boldly scored - truly the heir of Berwald's "Singular" - that in the past I've often been too distracted by it to move on to the next three works.

[Todd]

Outstanding in every way.

[André]

It's good to see that Dag Wiren is enjoying a revival of orts. I only have old, dated recordings of his music.

Presently: Mozart, Concerto no. 19 with Clara Haskil (under H. Swoboda).

Formerly: Mahler's 8th under Bertini.  Reviewette in the Mahlermania thread.The Hindemith-Kegel box on Brilliant. Typically lucid, sinewy, muscular performances under the excellent East-German maestro.

SVIRIDOV: The Snowstorm     - music to a film of a short story by Pushkin
Three Choruses for the drama Tsar Feyodor Ioannovich

Pupils of Reinecke included Grieg and Bruch, Delius was a pupil of Sitt, Kalliwoda was admired by Schumann  to put a historical perspective on these composers.
And finish the GRÉTRY (1741-1813) box with the 6 Quartets op. 3
And a disc of excerpts from L'amant jaloux ou les fausses apparences

[Dancing Divertimentian]

TALLIS:  The English Anthems 
The Tallis Scholars      Peter Phillips, cond.

That cover reminds me of a rather amusing parody used on a favorite Prokofiev recording of mine, I assume to honor Chout (The Buffoon):






Might as well make it thread duty.

[Ken B]

I completely agree: it's like if Brautigam were a different pianist when he plays Haydn; wiser, always choosing the right way. 

He transformed my view of this body of music.

Now I have the entire series complete, it is time to revisit and reevaluate.

It's not every day that 27 CDs arrive during breakfast...

It's been a fun day. There's been a mix of brand new, almost new, and old.

Listening again now to my first choice from the ones that arrived today, Haydn's Symphony No.82

[asin]B000031WJC[/asin]

Suddenly I'm feeling like I understand where Beethoven got some of his notions from.

Almost new, as it arrived last week, but first listen today, was the suite from Holmboe's never-staged ballet The Ill-Tempered Turk

[asin]B0000AE7BE[/asin]

An old favourite was Domus' recording of Brahms' first piano quartet.

[asin]B000026CIE[/asin]

And the other brand spanking new, came in the door this morning choice was Dvorak's Czech Suite from this very promising looking set:

Now I have the entire series complete, it is time to revisit and reevaluate. RE: Graupner & Soly

Que - looking forward to your upcoming comments on the Soly series - I have the first 4 volumes and see that there are now 7 on the Analekta website - so is that the complete series?  If so, I may have to add a few more to my collection - believe I'll do some Graupner listening today - Dave

If Karl and Ray knew how long it had been since I last listened to these works, they would shun me.



This orchestra/conductor combo is soon to release the Szymanowski violin concertos with Baiba Skride.

  Hmmm, am interested how Petrenko fares with the Oslo Philharmonic?

Not at all, dear fellow;  there is so much great stuff to listen to, we all experience long unintended lapses of that sort 

I am sure Ray's is just as forgiving a nature  0:)
