What are you listening 2 now?

[Artem]

I've had a Jo Kondo kind of day, and what I'm seeing is that I enjoy pieces from the mid seventies. Like Falling on this.

I have his solo piano music and I also enjoy the earlier stuff.

Online translation to the rescue!

I haven't heard much solo piano music, though I can see there's quite a lot of it. Some of the stuff is very much of a piece with Feldman. I'm listening to something from 2002 called In medias res on the cd in the picture, and it has a pulse marked with chords with harmonies like in Feldman - the type of chords in  For Samuel Beckett. I guess they were mutual influences.

Olivier Messiaen: Le Banquet céleste, etc. Louis Thiry

I was at an organ recital at the local Episcopal cathedral this afternoon which concluded with a piece by Messiaen and I was in the mood for more. I have Traverso here to thank for putting me onto monsieur Thiry's work, but I found this boxed set for under ten dollars last year, brand new, what a steal. I love Messiaen's sense of harmony. Unparalleled.

The past week I've listened to Daphnis et Chloe multiple times from various recordings, mostly from these two, which I just enjoyed again today because I can't get enough of this beautiful piece...

The Dutoit is a winner, although I don't know the Gergiev yet.

Lutoslawski, Berg and Górecki today:

Mi-parti, Drei Orchesterstücke and Requiem fur eine Polka

I can't see the Traverso image. What would it be?

JS Bach - Christmas Oratorio [Jacobs]





Christmas Oratorio - Part V For the Sunday After New Year [Jacobs]



The opening movement is well driven by Jacobs and a fine sense of both joy and celebration pervades the movement which is subsequently replaced with a dose of reverence throughout the presentation which is summarised very well in the final Chorale. The recitatives are also interesting and exciting in themselves!

Ohhh, I remember this being quite beguiling!

I agree 😁. Big, bold, and beguiling. So much of interest over the 40 minutes or so.

Schoenberg: String Quartet No. 4

Yet another of those works which I could call "bewitching and meticulously written music". It's an exercise for my brain to grasp the music, his form, his transformation. It's an unpredictable piece, in many respects: rhythm, harmony, motif or theme, etc.

[Symphonic Addict]

I agree 😁. Big, bold, and beguiling. So much of interest over the 40 minutes or so.

The other symphonies and music in general have a distinctive taste and flavour too. Somewhat Mahlerian or reminiscent of it, perhaps, but ultimately well-written music.

Zemlinsky: Sinfonietta

These cover arts are nasty, curious to say the least, but the music is just quite impressive, and how well played and conducted it is here!
