Morning listening on Spotify:



In this recording from his pre-Glossa days, Maletto does his usual thing with instrumental accompaniment. But this might be the first Maletto recording I quite like! The singing in this Ars Nova music from France is superb.

Stanley Bate: 3rd Symphony.

Bold and muscular, a tour de force.

Quote from: Symphonic Addict on January 27, 2023, 07:33:36 PMSchmidt: Symphony No. 4
Tubin: Symphony No. 10

Two formidable symphonies exceptionally played.


Two great choices Cesar! No.10 is my favourite of the later symphonies by Tubin and that's a fine recording of the Schmidt.

Malcolm Williamson 'Elevamini' (Symphony No.1). This is a nice collection of Williamson's music. This fine score reminds me, a bit, of Bernstein's 'Jeremiah Symphony':

Good Morning Lol - that is one of my favourites - a marvellous work! I like the Chisholm 'Pictures from Dante' as well.

Inspired by Cesar's post on Schmidt, I'll try this piece I haven't listened to before (as well as all Schmidt's music in general, to tell the truth):

On youtube:
Franz Schmidt
Symphony No.4

Antonín Dvořák
My Home, Overture, op. 62
Hussite Overture, op. 67
In Nature's Realm, Overture, op. 91
Carnival, Overture, op. 92
Othello, Overture, op. 93

London SO - István Kertész (rec. 1966/67)

Aside from Carnival, this is all 'new' Dvořák to me.

A favourite for years, the Fourth being almost equally fine.

DISC 2 of the Paillard J. S. Bach box: BWV 1063-5

No complaints. Good stuff!
Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.

RVW, symhonies no. 4 and 5 in some lesser known recordings (conductors Colin Davis and Neville Marriner). With excellent notes by one Jeffrey Davis":

Another top shelf Wagner disc from Szell.  Indeed, the Meistersinger Prelude is probably the best I've ever heard.  It's basically a crime that he did not record complete Wagner operas.

Janacek, In the Mists, this time Thomas Ades.



Compared with the Barto recording I listened to yesterday, this is much more incisive, much less "impressionistic." I like it a lot. I got it because it was on super-sale at the Qobuz store (pointed out by Todd, I think). Glad I stumbled on it.

Quote from: k a rl h e nn i ng on January 27, 2023, 04:10:41 PMI've relatively recently come to enjoy much more Mendelssohn than I should previously have suspected. Indeed, I was just today listening to his first quartet.


His piano works don't sound like Mendelssohn. I will check the first quartet.
The video below is a weekend present to you. Have a nice weekend Karl!

Piano Concerto No. 2

Juhani Lamminmäki, Tapiola Sinfonietta, Juhani Lagerspetx (piano)

A fun piece. But I wish someone would record Klami's first (Roaring twenties 1924-25) concerto "Une nuit à Montmartre"
