I like Antheil's symphonies.This is my favourite Antheil symphonies cd. Strange music...

I love the First's raucous Ragtime movement and the Sixth's combination of Shostakovich, Prokofiev and Ives! ("we'll rally round the flag, boys"  )

I like the Remy Froberger. I like the harpsichord - Leonhardt uses a similar one in his DHM Froberger - the recording with the the lamentation sur ce que j'ai été volé. I like the intimacy - only Siegbert Rampe on clavichord is intimate like that. And I like Remy's way with ornaments and agogics - nothing intrusive, never too forceful with the chords. And I like the lyrical articulation.

For Stephan Wolpe

Easily one of my best purchases so far this year.

The entire CD.

First listen to anything by Feldman.

Hmmmmmmmmmm..............

[Pat B]

Stravinsky: Le Sacre Du Printemps - Bernstein/NYP

Another gift from my lovely ex. And in this performance Bernstein gets right to it in making the music fly. Wonderful.

I kilogram the chart!

Thread duty: Stravinsky: Scherzo Fantastique (BBC National Orch of Wales, Elder), first listen to this piece. The Planets is up next.

[aligreto]

Schnittke....





....exciting, challenging and rewarding.

Woah... coincidence! I'm listening to the Messiaen Poemes pour Mi from this album now (and I already was before I noticed your post). I listened to the Boulez/Cleveland recording yesterday (twice!).

The entire CD.

First listen to anything by Feldman.

Hmmmmmmmmmm..............

Try Coptic Light if you get the chance:

earlier today:



First listen to any Mendelssohn symphonies - weird stuff, at the same time I had images of Luther marching/stomping to war and of Bach directing a choir of jubilant angels ...not sure I'll be listening to these now or rather skip them and go on with Schumann and Brahms and revisit Mendelssohn later (I'm familiar with his two oratorios and with some of his great chamber music and dearly love his violin concerto, just in case).

then, afternoon brought the frist two of this box:

[asin]B0007IK4WE[/asin]

and now, ending the day with:

[asin]B0000029TB[/asin]
from the Vivarte box - great music of course, fine performance, too ... but likely not to become a top favourite in this house, nonetheless
