An LvB night

Piano Sonata 18 in E Flat major  "Hunt" Op 31/3*
Piano Sonata 27 in e minor Op 90*
Piano Sonata 28 in A major Op 101*
Piano Sonata 31 in A Flat major Op 110**

*recorded Lucerne 2 Sept 1965
**recorded La Grange de Meslay 29 June 1965

Live recordings. The Lucerne instrument is more metallic than usual, but nothing else caught my ears as a reason why these recordings were never released.

Then on to


Op 95 in f minor
Op 127 in E Flat major

[Symphonic Addict]

Dvorak: Symphony No. 1

A remarkable first symphony regardless of a few shortcomings.

I love this symphony. The slow movement, in particular, is gorgeous.

Rerun:

This arrived yesterday in the mail:



What triggered me to get this recording was a comment by someone that preferred this all male performance of the Missa O crux lignum to the recording by Pomerium (Dorian). I't really excellent, in a style that reminds me of Capilla Flamenca or the Egidius.

When this recording was made in 1993 this Dutch-Flemish ensemble, with some well known singers in these parts, existed for three years, but this seems to be the only recording they made.

Rerun:

I could not find it on Qobuz unfortunately, but since the search criteria are absurd, as I found out with the complete Piano music by Brahms.

I'm pretty sure it is not available streaming anywhere... Emergo Classics was a Dutch label that ceased activity in 2001. And I don't know what happened with the rights on the back catalogue, but you might?

PS If I had the facility to rip the disc, I would happy to send you the file... But I'm not quite there yet..

One of my projects I never got to: looking into the organ music by  Nicolas de Grigny and available recordings!


   

Anne Chapelin-Dubar plays the (West end) organ of the cathedral of Sens, which was built between 1722 and 1734.

I can't say this is love at 1st sight (hearing)... It all sounds rather slick with a lot of legato.

Beethoven

Giovanni Battista Buonamente.
Balli,Sonate & Canzoni.
See back cover for details.
Monica Huggett, Violin, Bruce Dickey, Brass. Galatea Ensemble, Paul Beier.
Recorded:  at St. Martino, 2001, Bondo, Switzerland.

Bio info.
Giovanni Battista Buonamente, born in the last decade of the 16th century, began his career in Mantua, where there were obviously early connections to the ruling Gonzaga family. in 1622, the marriage of Eleonora Gonzaga to Emperor Ferdinand II forged close links between Mantua, Prague and Vienna: from 1626, Buonamente served Emperor Ferdinand as a "musicista da camera". He later joined the Franciscan order and finally ended his career as Kapellmeister in Assisi.

A very interesting performance. Obviously with the excellent musicians involved that would be logical.
And it is. Buonamente music is inventive, has a nice drive and is throughout interesting to listen in one go, without fatigue. Bruce Dickey blowing into the brass is a delight, and he never in his enthusiasm makes himself a nuisance for your ears. Monica Huggett is as ever sweet in expression, and Paul Beier is a Lute player who does not disappoint in this performance, nor is he likely to do, considering his credentials. The recording is excellent. It is to be recommended as a adventurous detour into pretty unknown music.

[AnotherSpin]

Haselböck's Beethoven 7th offers a fresh and slightly unconventional alternative to the grand, emotionally charged interpretations of Kleiber, Abbado, or Chailly. His historically informed approach may appeal to listeners who have grown weary of overblown drama, excessive warmth, and overpowering orchestral sound.

There are far better options, which I posted some time ago, (well a long time ago) and certainly better recorded organs too.
