What are you listening to now?

[Que]

The blurb on the Glossa set says "Recorded in various locations in the Netherlands and Germany between June 2012 and February 2014". I don't know if that helps?

Then it must be new recordings, because the NM recordings date all from 1999 - 2001.

Though the inclusion of recordings by Gustav Leonhardt in the Glossa set provides a mystery in light of the information they provide: he passed away in January 2012....

Morning listening is a return to this set:

[asin]B00TAJ730W[/asin]

Léon Berben plays on disc 5 the (reconstructed) "Niehoff" organ of the Eglise Saint-Jacques in Liege, Belgium, and a harpsichord by Keith Hill after Ruckers 1624. The reconstructed Renaissance organ is a splendid success to my ears!



Having this set and the one on NM Classics, I won't be jumping on the band wagon to buy the recent set in Glossa's Sweelinck Edition. That new set seems to share a number of performers  (and possibly recordings) with the NM Classics set (of which copies seem to refloat - check Amazon.de if interested)

Q

Nice that you get back to the Berben set, its in the line with me for the third rerun, but first I have to do Weinbergers Bach box, before getting to Sweelinck again, both Glossa and NM classics. An A-B comparison.

They probably mixed old and new recordings.

If you read the booklet instead of the backside blurb (I just checked) it states some exceptions "Leonhardt in 1971 and 2009". No other exceptions noted.

Good morning all,

Thanks. Speaking of the Sweelinck Edition, this just came in (starting to run OOP as well...BTW - check Amazon UK):

Kinsella: Symphony No. 7....

[amw]

Excerpts from some unknown-to-me Beethoven piano sonata sets have been playing in the background while I write and do stuff: Opp. 79, 81a, 90, & 106 by Daniel-Ben Pienaar and Opp. 2, 7 and 10/1 by Michaël Lévinas.

I prefer the latter somewhat I think—less wayward in tempo/rhythm, cleaner in terms of pedal sound (though still more than I'd like)—but have to say I haven't been listening very closely. I've no idea where these pianists stand in our Beethoven collectors's lists.

Onslow: Piano Trio Op. 3 No. 2....
