Zelenka: Lamentations for Good Friday....

[prémont]

JS Bach: Chorales for Passiontide BWV618-624 from this set....

Rogg has made three commercial recordings of Bachs organ works, the first two being approximately as complete as Walchas two sets. Since the text on your set is in French, I suppose that it is the Harmonia Mundi France set, recorded on the Silbermann organ, Dom Arlesheim 1970.

[prémont]

I must confess I'm totally unable to choose among the different versions/transcriptions....

But do you have to choose?

[Karl Henning]

"Papa"
The Seven Last Words of Christ, Op. 51 (Hob.III/50–56)
Amadeus Quartet

[Gurn Blanston]

But do you have to choose?

Fortunately not. The strong point in refusing to declare a favorite.

Thread duty:



One of Pinnock's best Haydn efforts; tragic, moving, well sung. 0:)

[prémont]

Fortunately not. The strong point in refusing to declare a favorite.

My point too. 

[EigenUser]

Indeed! Orpheus was delightful! 

Listen to Agon!!! My favorite Stravinsky work.

[HIPster]

The Heritage of Frescobaldi
Volume 1

On a first listen here and whoa. . . !

Beautiful sounding organ, built in 1750.   

[André]

Bruckner: symphony no 3 (1888/889 version). Württemburgische Philarmonie Retlingen. Recorded cavernously in the vast expanses of the Basilika Weingarten. Roberto Paternostro. Excellent interpretation. Despite the overgenerous reverb, this breathes naturally. No clunker in that integral set so far.

[Green Destiny]

I bought all of Pinnock's Bach a few years ago but cant say I really listened to it much until the last couple of days - its very good. Particularly enjoying his recordings of the concertos:

[PaulR]

Evening all.

[Karl Henning]

Listen to Agon!!! My favorite Stravinsky work.

Agon is delicious, no question.  And so is Orpheus.  I should hate to have to choose between them.

(Oh? I needn't, you say?)

Excellent version! Top-3 in my humble book.

Excellent version! Top-3 in my humble book. 

Thanks Gordo - may I ask who your other favourites in these works are?

[Green Destiny]

Listening to more of this box - Disc 03 at the moment which has various preludes & fugues and a couple of Trio sonatas on it:

The Linde-Consort, conducted by Hans Martin Linde. Specifically this EMI Classics Reflexe set (apparently the Virgin set has some digital glitches):

And then tied Suzuki (2nd version) and Pickett (a kind of personal superstition  ):

Very good, thanks for that. I will keep these recordings in mind for future reference. I thought Linde might be OOP but I can still get a copy of that I see - I don't have any of these versions!. Would you believe I haven't heard any of Suzuki's Bach? - I must rectify that at some stage
