What are you listening to now?

I knew, of course, but you wrote 'the Ravel opera' as if he only wrote one.

Ugh, must you be so literal ?! I mentioned the one I meant in the previous sentence!

(it's cool)

Sorry, I didn't read your post too carefully, to put it mildly - I thought you wrote Le tombeau de Couperin and not L'Enfant.

Schubert channeling Beethoven?

Ravel's gorgeous Introduction and Allegro for harp, flute, clarinet and string quartet.

https://youtu.be/bBm1w8J63mg

One of my favorite Ravel works. Try preceding it with Ligeti's Melodien sometime (I know, I know, I'm like that weird kid in elementary school that claims that orange juice and milk make a great combo at lunch... ).

As I suspected! (But I didn't want to accuse, haha...)

Wagner: Tannhaüser. The 1955 Bayreuth production directed by André Cluytens. With Windgassen, Brouwenstijn, Fischer-Dieskau and Greindl. The first three are unequalled IMO. Greindl is clearly overparted. The sound is quite good.

Now:



Listening to Symphony No. 4 yet again. Incredibly moving work. Elegiac, yet uplifting in feeling and seems to me to be some kind of remembrance of the past. Goodness gracious, I love this symphony.

[Todd]

Ein Deutsches Requiem.  Nice enough overall, I guess, but when Lucia Popp sings it comes alive. 

[kishnevi]

Both CDs of this doublet.

After a hiatus of several years Brilliant seems to have resumed its Boccherini Quintet project with a new ensemble.

Ending my night with this recording:



Listening to Appalachia. Fantastic work and performance.

Morning listening to a new arrival:

As I expected (I diligently do my homework these days,  before buying), this a clear winner. And nice to hook up with Glen Wilson again, whose WTC I still cherish.

Listening to a couple of Villa-Lobos Symphonies again - today #3 from the Naxos Disc and #2 from the CPO box. I do hope the Naxos team complete the HVL cycle they are working on - its very good I think. I really want them to record Symphony #2 soon! :
