Stanley Bate: Symphony No.3 - one of the most unjustly neglected 20th Century British Symphonies. This is possibly my all time favourite Dutton release as it also includes the wonderfully oppressive and doom-laden 'Pictures from Dante' by Erik Chisholm.

[Spotted Horses]

Second listen to the first string quartet of Szymanowski. Very interesting music, at times sensuous, etherial, witty. Nicely performed and recorded.

Ain't that a fact. I whole heartily agree Jeffrey.

Sweelinck, JP - well, after purchasing the 6-disc Glossa set of the composer's 'complete KB works,' many other recordings had been recommended, esp. by Mandryka - SO, about finishing up a nearly 5 hr. Spotify playlist w/ the offerings below; Richard Egarr on harpsichord, Peter Ella on clavichord, Sweelinck in the 'Art of Variation' (have to hear that one and read the attached review), and Gavin Black on an interesting instrument explained before.  I could find reviews on only Egarr and the 'Variation...' discs?  Dave

Now playing selections from this fantastic 2-CD set:



In many cases, I prefer Grisey over Murail. I think he had a bit more interesting things to say in this Spectral style.

Stanley Bate: Symphony No.3 - one of the most unjustly neglected 20th Century British Symphonies. This is possibly my all time favourite Dutton release as it also includes the wonderfully oppressive and doom-laden 'Pictures from Dante' by Erik Chisholm.

I'd really like Chandos or others record a complete cycle of Bate's symphonies. This No. 3 is indeed impressive and does deserve more exposure.

Second listen to the first string quartet of Szymanowski. Very interesting music, at times sensuous, etherial, witty. Nicely performed and recorded.

This disc is a winner. The Rózycki is also worth hearing. Love its uninhibited late-Romanticism.

Listened to this disc of viola music.  Rereading the liner notes, it amazed me how Tibor Szerly managed to complete Bartok's viola concerto (with the aid of William Primrose who had commissioned the work and been in constant contact with Bartok about it before the composer's death in 1945).

The recordings are with Vladimir Bukac (a former member of the Talich Quartet as well as a distinguished teacher and who also has recorded a number of works by Czech composers for the first time).  With him, the Czech Radio Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Vladimir Valek on Calliope.  http://www.vladimirbukac.com/#about

Sarge

I've heard that those are classic recordings.  How are you enjoying them Sarge?  And any favorites--or misses?

[Carlo Gesualdo]

J.s Bach Motets or not so great compared to the achievement  done in renaissance  and early  to mid baroque(french), and renaissance Franco-Flemish.

This is my statement, I am currently listening to  Willaert Motets Musica Nova Singer Pur, and admit Gombert Motets by Orf or Beauty Farm or way superior in complexity for it'S respective time.

Ireland, John (1879-1962) - Piano Music, Vols. 2 & 3 w/ John Lenehan - new arrivals today; already owned the first volume - main competition seems to be Eric Parkin & Mark Bebbington - some recent discussion on the Ireland Thread, opinions do vary.  Reviews of Lenehan are attached for those interested.  Dave

Symphonic Overture No. 3

What an uplifting work! It never fails to put a smile on my face.

Oh yes, one of my very favorite works by JBS (the composer, not the GMG member ). Its generic title certainly does it no favors; it would make a perfect concert opener. The main theme is so incredibly catchy!

[vandermolen]

I'd really like Chandos or others record a complete cycle of Bate's symphonies. This No. 3 is indeed impressive and does deserve more exposure.

Totally agree Cesar. Symphony No.4 is equally impressive as is the VW-like Viola Concerto. As Chandos have done it for Ruth Gipps, Lyatoshinsky and Wiren, they could also do it for Stanley Bate.

Very good Traverso, I got this too, for noob Willaert is pronouced Ville'rt in Flemish, if I know my Flemish language 

[SonicMan46]

Well, along w/ my 2 Ireland Piano Music CDs, my JPC package contained mucho Telemann - listening to Oberlinger at the moment and will then start in on the 6-disc box, which likely will continue into tomorrow!  Dave

   

ADDENDUM: Just looking on Amazon USA, the Oberlinger Telemann CD is listed for nearly $60 USD w/ shipping!  BOY, always shop around - that disc was at JPC 'on sale' for $6 while the 6-disc box was $25 (also on sale), i.e. only $30 for the 7 CDs from my wallet!
