A couple of new arrivals from BRO:

Danzi, Franz - Septets + Clarinet Potpourri w/ Klöcker/Consortium Classicum - adds the Septets to my collection; Klöcker's modern instrument complements my period recording of these works.

Corelli, Arcangelo - Sonatas for Strings, Op. 1-4 w/ the Purcell Quartet + Jakob Lindberg on theorbo/archlute - already own the Avison Ensemble in these works but for just 18 bucks could not resist a favorite group of mine and also Lindberg.  Dave

Anne-Sophie Mutter lets her hair down in a group of violin lolipops stunningly played.

Brahms-- awesome recording!  Elgar/Bloch-- I prefer the Bloch on this album.  Strauss: I listened to the Alpine Symphony which really blew me away.  Best of the bunch for today.

[Symphonic Addict]

Alas! A big disappointment.

Brahms-- awesome recording!  Elgar/Bloch-- I prefer the Bloch on this album.  Strauss: I listened to the Alpine Symphony which really blew me away.  Best of the bunch for today.

Regarding the Strauss, is this a reissue of the dark green EMI set?

Bartók: Kossuth. György Lehel/Budapest.

Poulenc: Eric Le Sage Plays Poulenc From CD 6:





"L'Invitation au château", trio pour clarinette, violon et piano [Le Sage/Audin/Leleux]


This is a quirky work; the sort of quirkiness that gives me a lot of pleasure in Poulenc's music. There are twenty three movements in the work. They are all short in duration, the longest lasting 105 seconds and the shortest lasting a mere 8 seconds. The movements are divided into two acts. The reason for all of this, apparently, is that Poulenc wrote this as incidental music to a French play of the same name.

This, unfortunately is the final work in this wonderful set. I have been dragging out my listening to it purely to prolong my enjoyment of it.

G. Ustvolskaya

Composition No. 1 'Dona nobis pacem'
Composition No. 2 'Dies irae'
Composition No. 3 'Benedictus qui venit'

Once in a while all of this music works like a curiosity, a foray into deeply psychological realms, although not very recommendable to do it very often.

[Daverz]

Regarding the Strauss, is this a reissue of the dark green EMI set?

It says it's the 2013 remastering on the back, so it's not a straight "refresh" of the green box.

Back of new box:



In the fine print at the bottom it says "Newly remastered in 2013 from newly discovered original tapes."

Cover of previous 2013 box (damn, it's been that long?):

 

It says "Newly remastered from the original source tapes." at the bottom.

Antonín Dvořák
String Quintet 2 in G Major, op. 77
Nocturne in B Major / Intermezzo, op. 40

Pavel Nejtek, double bass
Panocha Quartet

If I didn't really know Dvořák's early quartets, the rest of his chamber oeuvre is new to me. Perfectly charming so far and I particularly like the depth the bass provides here.

Messiaen: Sept Haïkaï
De Leeuw: NWE

I don't understand this (or most Messiaen) yet. My favorite part was the 6th part (Les oiseaux de Karuizawa) because of the bird calls.
