The Island of St Hylarion - The Music of Cyprus 1413-1422             Ensemble Project Ars Nova (P.A.N.)

A great ending of a day listening to music. P.A.N. is a wonderful ensemble and I wish that they had made tons of recordings in their career.
So far each of them has been a gem.

I really want that one. How is it?
First impression: lovely and lively! I got the Italian Baroque set from Zig Zag last year and frankly some of it quite failed to grab me, same for the Corelli set by Beyer that came out last year ... maybe I'm just not ready to appreciate this type of music all that much yet, but this new disc, as far as I got (had to call it a day after about two thirds) sounded much more engaging to me.

And I really want this one - too bad it was gone already by the time I started exploring classical music:

live tonight, Vancouver Symphony BARTÓK Violin Concerto 1
with the concertmaster (Dale Barltrop) soloing, Thomas Søndergård guest conductor
also on the program, HAYDN Symphony 99, BEETHOVEN  Symphony 2
The Haydn, not having a nickname, is extremely rare on programs here as is the Bartók and the Beethoven usually gets consigned to 'period' concerts.   Altogether worth going out to.
The earlier performance on Saturday was unusually well attended by an audience that was not the typical Q-tip and 30-shade-of-grey crowd and not regular symphony-goers but much younger and in couples for Valentines Day. The concerto may have been a surprise to them.

Perchance I am, though bound in wires and circuits fine,
yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,
are sweeter far than any stage could hear.

I certainly do like the recordings there. I don't have the others, apart from the very first disc of the cycle that my parents bought years ago. I have read similar remarks elsewhere, though, that Suzuki & his crew seem to have improved with age.

I'm only on vol.24 and they seem pretty damn good to me already - but then I have no other versions to compare to.

Really, the reviews were pretty positive from the beginning.

Playing this for the first time.

[asin]B0006ZFQNK[/asin]

  The best Debussy piano I've ever heard, but I don't know why. He reminds me of Thelonious Monk in Jazz, there is sometimes something almost lumbering and awkward in his playing, but the overall effect is stunning.
It's all good...

There really is some great stuff on this set. Some powerful, expressive songs convincingly delivered.

Really? Big Monk fan here, but Benedetti Michelangeli kind of remains a mystery to me, in part because things seem too ... not sure how to put this, too straight? Too even?

The Debussy I like most so far is the bubbly one by Marcelle Meyer.

Vaughan Williams Symphony No.8 D minor, times two: Rozhdestvensky has the fastest Fantasia (first movement) in my collection (9:38); Stokowski has the slowest (12:46).
