Richard Wetz: Requiem in B minor, op.50. George Alexander Albrecht, Thüringisches Kammerorchester Weimar, Philharmonisches Chor Weimar, Dombergchor Erfurt

Way better than I was expecting! I wish more Wetz would be recorded, as only a small fraction of his music exists on disc, but I doubt it will ever happen, being that he was a Nazi and that he wrote in a somewhat anachronistic Brucknerian idiom.

Anton Bruckner's
Mass No. 2 in E minor

Matthew Best, Corydon Singers

I'm a big fan of the f minor Mass, especially (with winds) but the e minor is a beauty, as well!


Strangely the Wikipedia article at the top says simply orchestra (I guess someone doesn't miss that usual mainstay of the orchestra, the string choir. 

George Szell ·The Cleveland Orchestra: Live In Tokyo 1970 Disc 1 Weber "Oberon Overture and Mozart Symphony No. 40 in G major K.550

Nice!

Good evening, Karl! Agreed, such a wonderful piece!

I have the Guarneri SQ recordings for those Mozart's compositions, how is the Juilliard SQ set instead?

Nice!

Wikipedia tells me that No.3 in F minor is for full orchestra, while No.2 in E minor is the one that only has winds. (I don't know either of them, I think the only Bruckner Mass I've heard is No.1.)

Thanks. I must have been confused.

Jean-Philippe Rameau's
Une symphonie imaginaire

Marc Minkowski, Les Musiciens du Louvre



A wonderful, modern concoction of Rameau's orchestral music rummaged out from amongst his operas and ballets and turned into something approaching a symphonic form. Gorgeous stuff!

Absolutely. Rameau is my favourite composer, so any time someone highlights his work is, for me, a cause for celebration. Vive la Rameau!
