What are you listening 2 now?

[Tsaraslondon]

A fabulous performance of Rach 2 is coupled here to a not so wonderful Tchaik 1. The Rachmaninov is justly famous. Some of the speeds are a little controversial but Richter makes them work and this remains a favourite performance of this work.

The Tchaikovsky doesn't hang together quite so well and you sometimes get the feeling that Richter and Karajan had different ideas about how it shoud go. An interesting rather than overwhelming performance.

and something tbs.   I'm finding organizing my life lately is like herding cats,

Interesting! How do you like the album?

[Mandryka]

This looks like a reissue to me. Capella Nova recorded the complete works of Carver back in 1991 (three discs) on the ASV/Gaudeamus label. Excellent stuff.

Yes the first mass, Dum sacrum mysterium, is indeed excellent stuff. Mystical! Certainly touched the spot this afternoon.

How about this equation?

Carver = Fayrfax x Taverner

I'm listening to what I've order and received this morning.

Azzolino Della Ciaia
On Tactus all is keyboard works, mostly Harpiscord (the first two CD, while the third is organ works.

It's darn good, use to have this on my  music streaming library, but the sound was atrocious, did not download well, after re- re download it, finally decided to buy the album in physical media in CD.

Any fan of Harris, Copland or Hanson, would do well to check this symphony out. There's also a recording of this symphony with Schwarz on Naxos, but this performance has better sonics.

Damn...what a fine symphony. I was also reminded by Hovhaness at some points, especially in some of the faster string passages. I'll definitely be replaying this one again later on tonight. What's the deal with American 3rd symphonies?!?!? Copland, Schuman, Harris, Diamond et. al.
