Symphonic Addict

Tchaikovsky: Symphonies 6 and 7 (comp. by Bogartyrev)

An impassioned 6th that lacks a little of drama. Along with the 4th, the least succesful performance on this set. I am barely familiar with the 7th, which sounds, oddly enough, closer to Glazunov than Tchaikovsky in style and it's a solid piece I must say.

I rank the performances from the best to the less good like this: 2, Manfred, 5, 7, 3, 1, 6 and 4.

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.

Mahler is captivating more in Ádám's performance rather than Iván's.

That's a great box set.

20 euros on JPC for 30 CD'S, that too much to resist!

Shostakovich: Symphony No.11 'The Year 1905' Houston SO/Stokowski
This sounds better than ever on my new Cambridge Audio amplifier.

(I'm having trouble posting images at the moment unless they are already saved in 'Pictures').
Just managed to do it :-)

I told you that the Cambridge amp was a good one, more than adequate.

Do you know the one with Studio der frühe Musik, Augsburg (not to confuse with Studio der frühe Musik, München)?

Woke up feeling like low notes. Cellos, trombones, violas, bring 'em on!



Lindberg is playing trombone concertos by Christopher Rouse and Carlos Chavez, plus a short work by Augusta Read Thomas. I've never heard any of the three. Also my first listen to the Hindemith Cello Concerto, which immediately joins the top rank of my favorite works by Paul - colorful, dramatic, effective, not too academic/esoteric, and quite concise in its three 8-minute movements.
