Vaughan Williams: Pastoral Symphony


The VW symphony that most draws me in, with its haunting sense of loss.

And that is a very nice CD.

Certainly is a ballet - and musically a good one too.  Has the best orchestral impression of a train right at the end when Anna commits suicide of any piece I know - a slightly odd accolade I accept(!)

Thank you RS.

And that is a very nice CD.

Indeed, Hickox is excellent.

JS Bach: English Suites Nos. 1 & 2 [Schiff]

[aligreto]

The cover reads Christina Gallo - a completely unknown name. Is this a cover name for Jaccottet?

In this case the reference to Gallo is to credit her with the etching on the cover. Jaccottet is credited as the harpsichordist in small print on the back cover. I really like this performance and when I bought the CD first I logged the performer as Gallo and subsequently confused myself.

Is that a ballet John? If so I recall borrowing it on a double LP set from the record library many decades ago but I can't remember much about it.

Yes, indeed. A ballet written in that language that only Shchedrin could write. It's well worth your time I'd say. I bought the reissue of it on Melodiya a year or so ago.

Symphony No. 5, "Concerto Grosso No. 4"

Koechlin: The Spring Running, Op 95 - Radio-Symphonie-Orchester Berlin conducted by David Zinman - part of The Jungle Book

Good.
I listened to Koechlin's oboe sonata (1911-1916).

Only 1 full listen through and it's already in my top Vivaldi records.

By now, I have progressed to disc 6 with sonatas nos 18 - 21.
Sofar some of the performances have made a better impression than the first time around. After a dissapointing no. 3, David Breitman's rendition of the Pastorale made a more favourable impression.  Macolm Bilson's rather tepid Mondschein was compensated by his performance of Der Sturm.

[Pohjolas Daughter]

And that is a very nice CD.

I have almost all in that series...exception being the Sea Symphony (not too keen on).
