What are you listening to now?

Que - you've been posting these Chopin recordings recently - assume from the 'Real Chopin' box?  If so, I've had this on my 'wish list' but may have missed any bargains?  Have you enjoyed this interesting project?  Dave

[SonicMan46]

Live, as so much of this box.
From the vantage point of part way through 35, I like this a lot.
Bonus points: a Hurwitz CD from Hell!

Just finished listening:

Stress Tensor

Great stuff.

Hah! I love the name. I suppose the sequel could be Strain Tensor

First listen to this version!

Jeux, poème dansé (arr. for 2 pf by J.-E. Bavouzet)
Volodya & Vovka Ashkenazy

(I know I am making Ilaria smile!)

I will need to hear this. I saw the sheet music at the music store a while ago but I had no idea there was a recording.

[Ken B]

Hah! I love the name. I suppose the sequel could be Strain Tensor

Hmmm. Being a displacement, wouldn't strain be a simple vector field?

Hmmm. Being a displacement, wouldn't strain be a simple vector field?

I haven't taken the graduate solid mechanics, but there is a strain tensor related by the elastic and shear moduli (a generalized Hooke's Law). I don't know much more than that, though.

Here's an idea let's get back to music guys...

Now:



Listening to Paysages franciscains. Great stuff.

Back to Austro-Germanic territory:



           

Listening to Six Pieces for Orchestra. Absolute masterful performance from Karajan/Berliners.

[Mirror Image]

Now:







Listening to Ein Heldenleben. This is such an outstanding performance.

Perhaps you knew this or perhaps not, but when Barber was writing this concerto for the violinist that was going to premiere it, the violinist complained that the music wasn't sufficient enough to display his technique. So, Barber, quite angered, wrote the virtuosic third movement and violinist couldn't even play it.

Cute! You wrote the same thing last time I listened to Barber!     I was telling my wife the story earlier. I wonder why Barber did that - I mean trying to outdo the violinist makes no sense. The first two movements are wonderful! Why write a crazy hyper movement just to bring down the attitude of a violinist? It must have been much more complicated than that?

Anna Magdalena Bruckner, Symphony 3, Wand from the cheapie box. This box feels superfluous I must say. Might end up living at my girlfriend's; she only has symphonies 7 and 8. Who can live with so little??

What!!!  No symphony No 6!!!!!!       

[Moonfish]

Telemann: Triosonatas for the flute

Continuing my Seon journey. This Telemann recording is excellent in every way. Tranquility. The sound is immediate and clear. My wife keeps asking for Telemann which must be a good sign? Right?

I couldn't remember if I told you that or not. I can barely remember what I did 20 minutes ago.

The whole story is here:

What!!!  No symphony No 6!!!!!!       

No! I went to play it last time I was there but all I found was a note I took this for the blind test. Monkey Greg.

I know what you mean... 
I will check out the details so thanks for the link MI.

[Ken B]

Picked a new favorite composer.
Trust me on this.

[Mookalafalas]

Couldn't find a picture. But I am playing Mozart's Sinfonia Concertantes, one conducted by Prohaska and the other by Swoboda.  Recorded in 1949 and 1951, but great sound and wonderful performances.  One of my fave's from this box so far:

Nah... Music and math have lots in common, which fascinates me to no end.
