No surprise: I really like the clarinet opening the second movement, Tendre.

Heitor Villa-Lobos
String Quartet 11 -17
Cuarteto Latinoamericano

I like the composer's concision in these later quartets. My favorite of this lot was probably no. 11, and the slow movement of no. 15 stood out to me as something special.

Rossini

CD 2

Rossini, divino maestro, Helios of Italy, you who have spread your sounding rays over the entire world [...] I myself take pleasure in your golden tones, your melodious lights, your sparkling butterfly dreams, which frolic about me so delightfully, and kiss my heart as though with the lips of the Graces. - Heinrich Heine

[Karl Henning]

[Number Six]

Sibelius: Violin Concerto
Salvatore Accardo
Colin Davis, London Symphony


My favorite part early in the first movement, when the Orchestra comes in, feels a bit wimpy here. It's one of those epic chills down your back moments for me, and I just didn't get it this time.

Lovely! Thanks for posting.

Paul Reale
American Mosaic
Cello Concerto 'Live free or Die'
Yale Symphony Orchestra
William Boughton
Naxos

First night music of the evening. New to me, and not very soporific.

[VonStupp]

George Lloyd
Symphony 3 in F
Charade (Scenes from the '60s)
BBC PO - George Lloyd

Charade does not remind me of the 60s, nor does it sound satirical. Of course, it is 60 years removed from now, representing experiences from across the Atlantic, and played by a symphony orchestra. Perhaps you had to be there.

I was there! Just.

Brahms: Symphony No. 1
Solti, Chicago

Leif Kayser
Symphony 1
Aalborg SO
Matthias Aeschbacher

More deliberately soothing in the dark...

[foxandpeng]

Quincy Porter
Viola Concerto
Northwest Sinfonia
Eliesha Nelson

Rain in the streetlights and a level of insomnia make Porter fairly palatable tonight. Pleasant enough but probably not a regular listen.
