@Spotted Horses You may like this, these early pieces by Dutilleux are redolent of Koechlin. Very pleasant and easy to listen to.

For the open-eared:        Quarter-tone music with FOUR pianos!

Forgot how this thread flies. Just a late appreciation post, exactly my cup of tea bag of quarters!

Bruckner Symphony No. 6 in A Major, 1881 Version. Ed. Leopold Nowak, BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, Juanjo Mena

[André]

tremendous pair of works - elusive and unsettling both......

Arnold's 9 rival any cycle ever penned. And the 7th is his most unsettling work. The composer's take on the work is much slower than any, like every work of his he conducted - it is unlike any other. Not just unsettling, it's devastating.It's on YT.

My love for French Baroque never gets old... 

This ADDA recording was, as the only one from this series of three, reissued on Virgin.

Haydn, piano sonata no.20 in B flat



The 1st movement of this 2-movement work is full of little twists and turns of figuration and rhythm. The whole thing is very elegant.

[Madiel]

Mozart: Divertimento no.17, K.334 (with the K.445 march that Marriner, at least, believes belongs with it)



Very lengthy movements in the divertimento, with a playing time of around 50 minutes. That's a lot of work for a mere sextet (4 strings and 2 horns), though it looks as if Marriner is a lot more generous with repeats than many other performances. The liner notes helpfully link it with divertimenti numbers 10 and 15, which have the same scoring and format (the term "divertimento" being used for a whole bunch of differing compositions), and are of similar scale though this is the biggest work.
