Haydn: Symphony No 104 in D major London - Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra conducted by Sir Colin Davis - final instalment of the London symphonies. I have the set on cassette but haven't been able to listen to it for a long time. A favourable mention in the Haydn thread prompted me to buy the CDs and I have been listening to them over the last couple of weeks. Very enjoyable.

They are good!

The Plasson set is very good and has a few orchestral pieces beyond the four symphonies (of which I recall the 3rd and 4th having a more distinctive style). I also enjoyed the Sanderling set on BIS, which struck me as a little more classical in approach to the music. I seem to recall the Ossonce set on Hyperion making a somewhat weaker impression. Any of them would be a fine place to start.

Really helpful, thank you 😊. Magnard is definitely my next planned exploration.

How's that Soler recital?

I'm getting pumped for the new Langgaard Berlin PO album:

How's that Soler recital?

Nice.  It lacks the rhythmic elan of many versions, sounding stylistically closer to Hinrichs, though it falls short of Hinrichs' not entirely definable goodness.

[VonStupp]

A concerto I have a fondness for.

Also one of my favourite recordings with Mordkovitch, a much lamented violinist. I took me some time to realize this, but when I sensed her passion I bought almost all her recordings. Dyson was one of the first in that line.

Quite enjoyable, indeed. A rather understated, singing quality to the concerto.

An underrated violinist perhaps? I mostly own Mordkovitch in her Russian outings; Prokofiev and Shostakovich come immediately to mind, but perhaps I will venture further afield at her copious Chandos contributions.

For now though:

George Dyson
Concerto Leggiero
Concerto da Camera
Concerto da Chiesa

Eric Parkin, piano
