Quote from: Lisztianwagner on April 16, 2024, 10:35:37 AMContinuing with Henze's symphonies, the 1st for chamber orchestra was really compelling:

Hans Werner Henze
Symphony No.2

Marek Janowski & Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin



My own traversal of Henze's symphonies last year was a huge pleasure. Hope you enjoy as much as I did!
"A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people ... then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbour — such is my idea of happiness"

Anton Gryzlov
Symphony 1 'War and Love'
Julius Penson Williams
Prague RSO

Nice and meaty, reflecting the subject matter 😅

The first three symphonies by the Belgian composer Marcel Poot. Positively impressed.

The current annihilation of a people on this planet (you know which one it is) is the most documented and at the same time the most preposterously denied.

Mozart: Divertimento no.10 ("Lodron no.1")



A different recording from the 'usual' Vegh series, and a live recording. It's not hard to hear why Vegh is considered one of the best guides to this repertoire. Everything feels perfectly poised.
Every single post on the forum is unnecessary. Including the ones that are interesting or useful.

August 1969 was to mark the first anniversary of the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia, hence the national colors.

Vaughan Williams
Job (1954 recording)
LPO, Boult (Pristine/Decca)
Boult, the dedicatee, recorded this 4 times - I saw him conduct it on VW's 100th birthday in 1972.
First time I heard it - I then had to dash out and purchase the (2nd EMI recording) LP  ::)

In a sweatshirt... At least she is not bare chested... 8)

The covers for TSOTF are as clueless and unrelated to Renaissance music as the ones for Beauty Farm, I suspect the same origin.

"Supermarine's designers did come up with the idea for a two-seater training variant of the aircraft, but only one was actually built. After the Second World War, Supermarine revived the idea after learning of several 'unofficial' conversions, and a few Mark IX Spitfires were transformed into two-seaters known as TR9s."
