What better in this hot weather outside (32 degrees Celsius) than music from Shakespeare's time? Well okay, a cold beer maybe....

I liked all the Leonhardt recordings for what they are, excellent interpretations belonging firmly to their time. Some of them, especially the organ recordings from Northern Italy are sublime and for me reference. It is true that I have problems with how he plays all the music in this box, but that's just detail criticism and never a doubt about his musicianship. I find that Dutch people are more critical about him and Bruggen for instance as in the rest of the world.

I do like his organ recordings best as well, and already had them since they were included in the Sony Leonhardt Edition.

Cold beer sounds excellent, as does that box set with music from Shakespeare's time.

Finding myself unexpectedly charmed by op.14/2, the last work in my 1798-1800 "chunk" of Beethoven.

Mammoth, flawed, overambitious, you name it, but this concerto is quite marvelous. And seeing it live in concert here in Madrid earlier this year was a great experience. I like it more each time I listen to it. I don't know that particualr recording, though.

I actually listen to Игорь Фëдорович:

Threni: id est Lamentationes Jeremiæ Prophetæ

Trying Tubin's 1st Symphony again.

[asin]B000027EPG[/asin]

One of my online "let's try a composer we don't know much about" projects, which I started but then thought better about because I was trying too many at once. So, given the elapsed time, trying number 1 again before I move through the rest of the symphonies.

That's earlier than any Tubin symphony I've yet listened to; will be curious to learn your response.

Good day to you, Karl.

It's sooooo good to see a Threni-Renaissance taking place. Let's hope it sticks.

You may know more about the latest ideas about how to play these things than I do. I just listened to opfer and it seemed pretty good, melancholic, I don't see that it's dated.
