What are you listening 2 now?

[Traverso]

I have indeed, you showed it to me last year. I would like to get it on CD.

Well,I forgot that one but it is a very good one and his third symphony also on Decca and the Wiener Philharmoniker.
I used to love the symphonies 7& 8 on DG but is is too long ago to say something sensible about it after such a long time,maybe more than twenty years that I have listened to it. time flies...

[Traverso]

Messiaen

Huit Préludes  (1928-1929)
La Fauvette des Jardins  (1970)

[vandermolen]

That's a fine performance!

I agree. I especially like the 'Nottingham' Symphony (No.2) and prefer the performance, especially the inspiriting ending, to the version on Dutton.

[vandermolen]

One of the best Brian symphonies I think.

Praque Waltzes
Polonaise

Bostonian Elise Hall never played these concertos, and the score of nr. 1 (1902/with symphony orchestra)resurfaced in the south of France only in 2017...
Sweet, elegant music. Very well played by Kurt Bertels and the Flanders SO.

[Mahlerian]

Schoenberg: Verklarte Nacht for string sextet
Ensemble Intercontemporain

Inspired by another thread, I pulled out this BBC MM CD:



Listened to Beethoven's Sonatas No. 23 and 26. I particularly enjoyed No. 26 (Les Adieux).  Those were recorded at the Royal Festival Hall in June of 1985.  I'll play Schumann's Carnaval a bit later (which was recorded in London (somewhere!) on 19 June 1961.

Stravinsky
Jeu de cartes, ballet in three deals
Agon, ballet for 12 dancers
Orpheus

Graupner, Christoph - Overtures, Sinfonias, & Others w/ Siegbert Rampe and Nova Stravaganza on period instruments - these were some of the first Graupner discs in my collection and still enjoy greatly; reviews attached for those interested! - Dave

First listen to this new arrival: Abravanel conducts Satie.

[asin]B0007IA56Y[/asin]
Sounds good so far, but I don't think I'll listen to the whole set in one single sitting (two hours worth of circus music in one go seems excessive    ).

[Pohjolas Daughter]

Visited the Carnival (see above); not so keen on his recording of that one...have other ones that I prefer.

PD

[Todd]

Revisiting a favorite.  Still a favorite.

Arrau can be of varying interest IMHO ... which ones do you like better then (as of now)?
