I love his imperious stance! And his playing is phenomenal.

Scriabin: Poem of Ecstasy (Alain Altinoglu / Frankfurt Radio Symphony, live recording, October 17, 2022). Altinoglu really wasn't on my radar until these Frankfurt broadcasts, but now, 100% yes. Gorgeous playing, gorgeous sound.

Morning listening. A rerun, with time for more attentive listening.



A late Renaissance approach to early Renaissance music, but I'm still quite enjoying this.

Good morning all,

Slowly progressing through the Harnoncourt/Leonhardt cantata cycle.

BWV 31-33

A trio of Estonian works conducted by a trio of Estonians, father and sons in fact. Dad gets the Kapp, whilst his elder son, Paavo, gets the Pärt and younger son Kristjan gets the Tubin.

Worth every penny I didn't pay for it.

A late friend of mine used to sometimes give me for Christmas a CD in the form of a competition, not telling me till afterwards what I was listening to. I pulled one out to listen to today. Some lovely music here, though, needless to say, I didn't guess any of them.

Arthur Meulemans: May Night - Moscow Symphony Orchestra - Frédéric Devreese
Jacques Ibert: Le Jardinier de Samos - Overture, Danse, Preludes to Acts 3, 4 & 5 - Ensemble Instrumental Jean-Walter Audoli
William Blezard: Overture "Caramba" - Royal Ballet Sinfonia - Barry Wordsworth
Gabriel Pierné: Scherzo caprice, Op 25 - Stephen Coombs (piano), BBC Scottish SO - Ronald Corp
Arthur Bliss: Pastoral " Lie Strewn The White Flocks" - Nancy Evans (mezzo), Gareth Morris (flute), Jacques Sting Orchestra - Reginald Jacques
Henri Tomasi : Concerto for Horn - Martin Hackeman (horn), CBC Vancouver Orchestra - Mario Bernardi
Malcolm Williamson: Agnus Dei - performers unknown, he forgot to say.

My friend was something of a Francophile musically and had extremely eclectic taste, as you can see,

I remember after I bought this, must be over a decade ago, I was completed smitten by it. But now I immediately picked up on Caroline Pelon's unsteady vocal contributions, which don't do the wonderful and cleverly constructed programming justice.

What a coincidence, it was also the reason why I culled this recording from my collection in 2021, after a rehearing. :)
Perchance I am, though bound in wires and circuits fine,
yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,
are sweeter far than any stage could hear.

Decided today at six O clock in the morning to play the whole set in one go, while working on a project, which I also will finish.
It struck me what a fine collection of music Belder put together, and the excellent performances he is giving us. A very good move by Brilliant to release this.

Antonín Dvořák
String Quartet 13 in G Major, op. 106
Panocha Quartet

As in my run of his symphonies, there is a point where everything Dvořák throws at you is going to be a masterpiece. I sense that starting with SQ13 as I did beginning with Sym7; masterfully crafted music.

I would also be curious to know what you thought of their interpretation of the Chamber Symphony No. 1 (arr. Webern).
I loved it, such a splendid version, really impressive and captivating! Schönberg's Chamber Symphony No.1 is a very brilliant composition that, despite a continuous harshness, a colourful timbric variety and melodious and harmonic metamorphosis, shows a stunning balance among the instruments, and Webern's arrangement expresses beautifully those peculiarities in a even more concise ensemble.
