Actually the third mvt ....

[Mapman]

Shostakovich: Ballet Suite #2
Järvi: SNO



Ibert: Flute Concerto
Jacot, Björkman: Odense

[Karl Henning]

Tansman: Concerto for orchestra

The agitated sections of the Tansman share some ideas with the Lutoslawski's, yet this work didn't convince me enough. The slow movements are too quiet, almost unperceivable.

My curiosity is piqued, Cesar!

My curiosity is piqued, Cesar!

Oh, I really like the piece!

[Mookalafalas]

Edward Elgar's
Cello Concerto

John Barbirolli, London Symphony Orchestra, Jacqueline du Pré (cello)

A classic performance and recording, of course.

  For second day in a row, coincidental near hit. I'm listening to Elgar's 2nd sym, Barbirolli conducting, from this


  I did not have a very high opinion of Mr. Elgar, but Barbirolli is winning me over. I'm looking forward to the one you posted (I'm working through the box in order...).

4 is one of the best!

Back to this marvellous set.
A Concert of English Music
I have to go out soon but I've had time, so far, to listen to:
George Butterworth: A Shropshire Lad - Rhapsody and The Banks of Green Willow
and
Bax: Tintagel
These are the finest performances I have heard of these works (I prefer Boult's more objective way in 'Tintagel' to Barbirolli's more 'romantic' version) and they have been very well transferred here:

Gareth Walters: Song of the Heart
(London Concertante, Gregory Rose, Wendy Dawn Thompson et al, Toccata Classics)

[Biffo]

Mozart: Piano Concertos Nos 3 & 4 - Daniel Barenboim soloist & conductor with the English Chamber Orchestra

[DavidW]

Lindberg highlights the polyphonic textures.  As a result I think he loses the narrative, and the result is something shapeless and noisy.  I can't recommend it.  The other recording is much better.

[vandermolen]

I'm alone in the house and as my neighbours are away I can play something noisy 
This is a good performance but I prefer the Jarvi recording on Chandos (RSNO) which displays greater urgency:

So good, it could have been a K-Tel "Greatest Classical Music Recordings" title.
