Silvius Leopold Weiss: Passacaille. Julian Bream

This is a beautiful work. Amazing performance from the late Julian Bream. I need to hear more Weiss.

Fabulous disc.
Now playing Five Bagatelles/William Walton, by Julian Bream.

I don't know the recording, but as I think both the music and the performers are excellent, I hope the results were highly pleasurable.

Thanks, Madiel. This is my second time listening to this particular performance and, yes, it is gorgeous. I had to buy it as a download, because the CD, if you can find a copy of it in a desirable condition, is quite expensive.

Nono - Como Una Ola De Fuerza Y Luz. A fantastic piece alternating between eerie singing and waves of percussive noise that could plausibly have disintegrated some of the audience.

[vers la flamme]

Gounod: St Cecilia Mass

I don't remember when was the last time I heard this work. A complete joy.

Inspired by your post I just bought this... for $12. What a deal. It sounds great.

[Irons]

(I have both and love them in equal measure, its a great symphony, never a "though" nut for me to crack.)

Forgive the wrong word, must be tough of of course.

Don't worry about it. I didn't notice and if others did, so what?

Now Playing:




Mozart: Eine Kleine Nachtmusik

[kyjo]

Gounod: St Cecilia Mass

I don't remember when was the last time I heard this work. A complete joy.

I wasn't aware of this work until I saw Hurwitz's video on it. A complete delight, particularly the utterly catchy Credo movement!

[vandermolen]

Yes that's an excellent disc. I appreciate your response and other members' comments. For me, I like the discs below.


Unbelievable!!

Alwyn's 'Aphrodite in Aulis' is lovely!

Bit of a curate's egg but the good bits are very good indeed.

Re: the Dyson Symphony

Yes, I find it a bit of an uneven work - some moments are more memorable than others. A standout moment for me is the poignantly beautiful middle section of the scherzo. It doesn't stand up to the greatest British symphonies of the era IMO, but overall I enjoy the work.

I think that it has a kind of slumbering power and, in its historical context, on the eve of World War Two, I find its old-fashioned lyricism rather moving in an understated way.

Buxtehude, Dietrich (c.1637-1707) - Six Sonatas w/ the musicians on the cover art below; in the pic, Japan ter Linden, John Holloway, and Lars Ulrik Mortensen - this is one of three Buxtehude 'chamber discs' in my collection w/ the same 'team'.  Dave

Yes that may be true my friend, but truth must be told that I am hardly aware of this, for my joy in life is classical music, and since I get little or no response on what I listen to, I have no real sense of sharing, and therefore am somewhat surprised you telling me, and to be honest I am glad you did. Gurn told me once that he admired my broad spectrum in listening to classical music, and dare go were others might not. Karl called me a Steamroller once, because I bought so much music.

With affection, be it noted

[Karl Henning]

A wonderful piece isn't it, it had the same effect on me as with you, I could not stop playing it. Thank you for this welcome response. I ordered another Gramola SACD recording which is called "Ladies Night" also filled with female composers, and as interesting.

Cheers, mijn vriend! I appreciate your ears' thirst for music!
