Dallapiccola: Canti di liberazione, for chorus and orchestra

One of my favourite pieces by Dallapiccola. AFAIK, this is the only recording the work has received. Metzmacher is excellent in this  repertoire (I saw him conduct Il Prigioniero live at the Teatro Real here in Madrid several years ago, and he was great.

TD:

More Elliot Carter chez ritter this evening.

Michael Gielen conducts the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra in the Piano Concerto (with Ursula Oppens as soloist) and the Variations for Orchestra.

Great Hartmann pcs, too!

I don't know them yet and I imagine they're interesting. I've been able to dig his music most of the time.

There is this recording, but not sure if it is on CD too:

Tippett: Piano Concerto

A piece that feels by turns strangely-proportioned, free-roaming, thematically rich in connection and shot through with radiant outbursts of beauty and endless invention. What wonders Tippett spun. Excellent from all involved.

A real beauty. There's no any other concerto like this one. It's got a special lyricism that bewitches with ease.

Great recording and nice (mono) recording sound!

[Symphonic Addict]

Wolf: String Quartet in D minor

A symphonic quartet with plenty of great moments and ideas. The slow movement is redolent of Beethoven's one from his String Quartet No. 15, although less transcendent.

More Elliot Carter chez ritter this evening.

Michael Gielen conducts the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra in the Piano Concerto (with Ursula Oppens as soloist) and the Variations for Orchestra.
