More Villa-Lobos - this time some guitar and piano; own the two versions of his solo guitar works but more exist and I'm sure there are other personal preferences?  Dave :)

Be sure not to overlook DuMage, Clerambault, or Grigny.
Reality trumps our fantasy far beyond imagination.

VonStupp

Heitor Villa-Lobos
Cello Concerto 1
Cello Concerto 2
Fantasia for Cello

Antonio Meneses, cello
São Paulo SO - Isaac Karabtchevsky

Looks like Dave and I are going through some Villa-Lobos. It will take me a while though...

I think I like these cello concertos more than the piano concertos.

Symphony 6
Emil Tabakov
Plovdiv Philharmonic Orchestra
Toccata


Glorious drama and intensity.

Grandeur and epic defiance required? Look no further.

I yet have to listen to his 9th symphony, but all the others (+ sundry works as fillers in the series) are amazing. Tabakov is like a musical punch in the solar plexus. Any one with a liking for Pettersson or Kancheli will revel in its mix of anger and devastating pessimism.

Quote from: Symphonic Addict on October 05, 2024, 05:14:02 PMKoppel: Moses - Oratorio for soloists, chorus and orchestra

I had high hopes for this oratorio that narrates some parts of Moses's life. There's a fair bunch of great and stirring moments, but overall this is too dour and serious to my taste. Songs of the Israelites and Moses to the Lord, the Stone Tables, the Golden Calf was the most interesting group of sections in my perception.




Offenbach/Rosenthal: Gaîté Parisienne

Since I like contrast big time, I continued with this score. Oh my..., I don't remember hearing this before. This is fun totally unleashed, exhilaration in big portions, good vibes all the way through. An extremely enjoyable piece with no dull parts whatsoever.




I have lots of Koppel in my collection, a composer I intensely admire, but his Moses should never have come down from Mount Horeb... Dour and overly serious, as you say.

Stern, Hilsberg/Philadelphia: Tchaikovsky VC. Great recording sound (and nice performance)! Unbelievable that this is a 1949 recording. Columbia might have an excellent engineer at that time.

Good description.
"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"

One more go at this wonderful disc before I shelve it:


VonStupp

Giuseppe Verdi
String Quartet in E minor
    Cremona Quartet
Hymn of the Nations
    Teatro Regia, Turin - Gianandrea Noseda

Two bits and bobs from Verdi, although the SQ is pretty substantial.
