Heltedød, BVN 24

Composed when Langgaard was 15. It's like a funeral march. I wonder why DaCapo didn't record this work on the Langgaard box set since it is rather good.

The 4th Symphony on this disc is my favorite recording of it. Otherwise, this 6th doesn't surpass Järvi's overwhelming rendition.

I should revisit Stupel's Langgaard. I recall not being as impressed with as I was with Dausgaard, but as you pointed out, Stupel recorded some works that difficult to come by on recording.

Thread duty -

The two works by Schoeck are his first and last for large orchestra. The Festlicher Hymnus is rousing stuff, with a main theme that immediately imprints itself in the mind.

Brunner's two-movement Partita for piano and orchestra from 1939 is neo-classical in flavour and would please People who like Martin, Hindemith or even Martinu. It's very good.

The major discovery For me was Widmer's monumental concerto for piano, percussion and orchestra from 1988. The writing is confident, bold and colourful. It is a modern work but entirely accessible. The percussion section is put through its paces as in few other works I know. Brilliant.

Performances seem excellent (no competition exists for any of these works). The fine 2013 engineering from the excellent sounding Henry Wood Hall, Glasgow seals a recommendation.

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

Their whole series of Vivaldi e amici is great.

[Carlo Gesualdo]

Hello I'm listening the entire set of madrigal'S book 1-6 tonight again I,m a marathon listener, so what if i sleep  late in the night, I just pop in Harmonia Mundi  whit Ars Nova ensemble in a LP , hmm hmm yes analogue I love you, pure sounds.

Now you're all thinking the boy is nuts, he as every album of gessuaaldo existing, sure I do CD wise and LP...

I was lucky enought to find this box-set in my city Montreal , yes , yes oh yes...

To appreciate Gesualdo music, you need to hear them all by god mean all of them, a task I have done, perhaps there one CD or LP i did not heard so far but, sparse in numbers.

Let's dissected Gessualdo, 1-2 (young starting , naive Gesualdo but charming). I love them, then 3-4 mid career g Gesualdo more interresting, less like ordinary Monteverdi Madrigals(his first), more intruiging and very pretty, there my favorite , there are my favorite liber of madrigals ever, than 5-6 is bold audacious, but I heard them too many time, yet I still enjoy them, but these mafrigal 5-6 or notorious and plague whit hipster saying Gesuualdo so great yet they only listen to Moro Lasso darn lousy hipster stop it right now lol (joke)

I have many Gesualdo LP the excellent Gesualdo/Azzaiolo on VOX  release in the 60 , French edition the other one also French edition on candide is rare never seen it  again so far,  perhaps I bough the last one in mint media whit an Alsacian conductor and Hamburg ensemble (this is a very good one.

The only thing that bother me is there is no complete translation in French of the madrigals, I'm not retarded I can read them in English but in French , not because French is my native tongue, nope that not it, but because lyric translation from Italian to English does not render Gesualdo justice since Italian is closer to French (latin cousin language)?

Can a Shakespear or Moliere of Italian, bilingual can translate all Gesualdo LYric for madrigals(madrigaux in plurial French), so I can write is genius lyric whiteout them distorting poetry of gesualdo, are there super translator that are fluent in French and Italian that can do just this, someone whit an awesome vocabulary,?

I would pay to have the entire madrigals set in French, Gesualdo lyric are brilliant, grandioso, It's unfair for us French speaker that it's only translated in German & English, believe me I search the web to find Gesualdo complete lyric translated in French , this is so unfair, not a single web page has this , nor a single book of his lyric 


So I guess that it goodbye now


Goodnight folks, take care of you're health eat you're dark green vedgies, and Purple one like Eggplant, a lot of onion (white & green) base and fresh garlic, to keep in healthy shape, I do it almost everyday since covid 19, never got sick, and people in my country wear these darn mask, If everyone spurt a mask covid would end.

Best wish for better time from deprofundis and dreams of better day folks

NP:



I haven't been too crazy about Irish classical music, but there are a few good ones. Ó Riada, from what I understand, did for Irish classical music what Vaughan Williams did for English music.

I'm not too familiar with much Irish classical music, but I can say that Seorise Bodley's (b. 1933) Symphony no. 2 I have loved the lands of Ireland has been a fine discovery of mine recently:

The predominant language of the piece is pastoral, lyrical, and often quite beautiful, but there are also some more "modern", dissonant passages to keep the listener on their toes.

Berkeley: Guitar Concerto, Op. 88



Why this concerto isn't in the mainstream repertory is beyond me. Enchanting.

Glazunov - Suite for String Quartet in C major

A riveting work! Each of its five movements contains really lovely and tuneful passages that wil surely delight the listeners' ears. This is a must-hear for Glazunov fans IMO (are you there, Jeffrey, John, Kyle?    )

Duly noted, Cesar! I do know the accompanying String Quintet on that disc, which is gorgeous.

New Arrival.

Music for Viola d'amore.

Composers:
Franz Simon Schuchbauer, Johann Peter Guzinger, Christian Pezold, Wilhelm Ganspeck, Anonymous first half of the 18th century,

Performers:
Anna Schumann, Klaus Voigt, Viola d'amore.
Alison McGillivray, Violoncello.

Viol d'amore I'm called-and rightly so,
Because my rare, sweet tone make lovers long, their spirits raised.
Yet I am often praised by saddened hearts,
When they, plunged deep in pain, delight in dulcet tones.
Whoever music knows and loves will quick confess,
That I as grace itself by all must needs be called.
Johann Christoph Weigel.

Almost finished. I don't think I've ever made it all the way through this work in one sitting before. What an amazing piece, and a great performance, but I think I'll have had my fill for a while after I finish.
