Morning listening  (via Spotify):



Q

[Mandryka]

Well, in Romanian one can have a whole dialogue with vocals only.

- Oaia aia e a ei?
- A ei e.
- O iau eu.
- Ia-o!

ie

- Is that sheep hers?
- It's hers.
- I'll take it.
- Take it!

That reminds me of a wonderful French sketch by Raymond Devos

" L"ouïe de l'oie de Louis a ouï "
" A oui ? "
" Et qu'a ouï l'ouïe de l'oie de Louis ? "
" Elle a ouï ce que toute oie oit.. "
" Et qu'oit toute oie ? "
" Toute oie oit, quand mon chien aboie le soir au fond des bois, toute oie oit : OUAH ! OUAH ! "
" Qu'elle oit, l'oie ! "

Oh thank you for this and the memories it brought back. I loved Raymond Devos and I got offered the book with all his sketches for a birthday early in my teenage years. It is a delightful read at any time

Arnold
Philarmonic Cnoncerto
Peterloo Overture
A Flourish for Orchestra
Symphony for Strings

[Christo]

Stanley Bate, Symphony No. 4 (1955). Sometimes I think: even better than the sparkling Third, this introvert and brooding symphony.

[Papy Oli]

Duruflé - Prelude, Reciatif et Variations, Opus 3

[Maestro267]

Penderecki: Magnificat
Soloists, Warsaw Philharmonic Choir
Warsaw PO/Wit

Myaskovsky: Symphony No. 4
RFASO/Svetlanov

[Iota]

Christopher Rouse: Flute Concerto

Sharon Bezaly, flute


A maiden listen to the flute concerto prompted by the Rouse composer thread, and a most enjoyable one. He has a very deft way with orchestral colours and a nimble imagination, I can well imagine him being genial and sophisticated company, as suggested on that thread.

I think the trombone concerto will follow.

[Traverso]

Bruckner

Symphony No.8

[Maestro267]

Schnittke: Symphony No. 5/Concerto Grosso No. 4
Gothenburg SO/N. Järvi

Today being Friday, it felt like a good idea to open up the Brilliant 50-disc set of 500 Years of Organ Music and listen to some VIERNE.  The set seems to be out-of-print, and the booklet of notes no longer is on the Brilliant website.  Any one getting the second box should download the booklet before it disappears too.   And there's no Vierne in box 1!
So it's HANDEL: 5 Concertos for Organ and Orchestra
Christian Schmitt, Mühleisen organ (1992), Evangelische Schlosskapelle Solitude, Stuttgart
Stuttgart Chamber Orch.  Nichol Matt, cond.
GUILMANT:  Organ Symphonies 4,5,& 6
Adriano Falcioni, Vegezzi-Bossi organ (1897), Sacre Cuoro di Gesu Church, Cuneo
and a Sonata and some short pieces by BUSONI for Clarinet and Piano
Wolfgang Meyer, clarinet    Matthias Kirschnereit, piano

For all of the obvious reasons, I'm feeling the need for some classical order and serenity at the moment; so I've acquired and started my way listening through this box.  First two discs this morning, symphonies 1-8.  I'm quite enjoying it so far... I wanted something a bit lighter and more sprightly than Dorati, but still with modern instruments -- for me this seems to strike a good balance. 

I really didn't need another Haydn set (besides Dorati I've also got Fischer and Marzendorfer on the shelf), but I had picked up a single from this set in a $1 bin last year, and the box has been whispering to me ever since...
