What are you listening 2 now?

[vandermolen]

One of the best RVW cycles, for me together with Bryden Thomson's for Chandos. Both Previn's Sixth and Ninth - one of the most impressive IMHO - are fine achievements.

2,5 and 8 are my favourites of Previn's cycle (2 and 8 unrivalled IMO) but the whole set is very good. Now listening to this fine performance which begins with Shostakovich's wartime broadcast (1941) from besieged Leningrad. It's an absolutely terrific performance - I can't recall hearing a better one:

Ashkenazy is a good advocate IMO

This is well worth catching -- I think it's easily available in a Virgin double CD with some Byrd songs.

Odd that neither of the 2 CDs was included in either of the 2 Hilliard box sets Warner put out not too long ago.

Can anyone tell me whether this Chopin op 68/4 mazurka is the Kingsley Day reconstruction? Janusz Olejniczak doesn't say in the booklet, he does comment though -- he says the music is full of woe, and it certainly is the way he plays it (which seems totally unique to me.)

First listen to a new arrival

It's a while since I've listened to that. When I'm ready for a break from Sweelinck, i'll pop it in.

First impression: thorny, but I wasn't expecting it to be not thorny. The symphony did fall a bit more pleasantly on the ears than the concerto.

Dvorak: Requiem

OK, maybe I should try to find something more appropriate for a Jewish lady, but I don't think she'd mind particularly the fine singing in the Dvorak.

This is well worth catching -- I think it's easily available in a Virgin double CD with some Byrd songs.

I have that disc and I've been listening nonstop. It was my introduction to Dowland. If I'd known about the Virgin double I might have gone for it in that guise instead, but it's OK. I actually listened to the whole thing first thing this morning! But I appreciate the recommendation nevertheless.

Is the Byrd it's coupled with also worth going for? I know nothing of Byrd.
