A small Triangle streamer:



I need to start experimenting with streaming, and streaming on my phone or PCs crappy sound have never been of any interest.

We'll see. I wonder if I should start a limited test of Apple Music, which my borther swears by for classical music.

I for one would be interested in your findings with the Triangle!

In due time I will make some notes. Just arrived by mail.

If all that you want is classical, try one of the dedicated services - Primephonic or Idagio.  Apple is rather better than most at properly tagging classical music with metadata, admittedly.

I'm afrsid I do want a good selection of both classical pop as well as moden pop/rock.

A while back, I posted about the large impact a live performance of Souvenir de Florence had on me. The ensemble was ASMF (or members thereof)! Early '90s, Queens, NYC iirc.

Very nice, T. D. It's a lovely work and I don't believe I've heard the arrangement for string orchestra.

I love Gardiner's Bach cantatas series and have a bunch of them.  Hope that you enjoy them Olivier!

I'm a huge fan of Karajan's Sibelius on DG (his later EMI remakes weren't as inspired for me and I found them too smoothed over), but I didn't own all of his performances on DG as I only own the 2-CD set (The Originals remastered), which I bought years ago. Looking forward to having it all under one roof and it's been remastered again. The blu-ray audio disc will be a nice bonus.

^I just got that Brian Violin Concerto disc in its original incarnation (Marco Polo) over the weekend; I found it at a bookstore. I liked it, though I don't know much about Havergal Brian, by any means.

Go over to the Brian thread and you'll read post after post from all our resident nutcases. I own a good bit of Brian's music, but I never found him a truly compelling composer. A lot of his music just kind of went in one ear and out the other. I do remember his Symphony No. 1, "Gothic" pretty vividly as it was the one work that I engaged with. I should revisit more of his music to see if my opinion has changed at all.

That Brian thread is enormous. It was one of the first things I noticed when I joined GMG—a thread on Havergal Brian with something like 300 pages—that made me think this place is really something else

Truly wonderful musicians! Enjoy

Easley Blackwood: Symphony No.1 (1954/55)
Saw this was included in the Charles Munch Edition 80+ CD box set and was curious - thought it was terrific and, hey presto, I found a single CD release featuring the work:
