What are you listening 2 now?

[Linz]

Beethoven Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 36, and Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92, Karl Böhm, The SWR Recordings

[vandermolen]

@vandermolen will be pleased, too.

Most definitely!

I tried streaming Aho's first symphony, but my modem kept rebooting.

I gave up and listened to a cd: Pettersson's 5th and 16th.  Sorry vers, 5th is just okay in my book.  But I quite liked the 16th, which is almost like an alto sax concerto.

Glad my comments prompted you to revisit; sorry you didn't like it as much as I do.

Now playing:



William Walton: Symphony No.1 in B-flat minor. Edward Gardner, BBC Symphony Orchestra

[Linz]

C. P. E. Bach The Complete Works for Piano Solo, Ana-Marija Markovina Vol. 26 The last CD

[Iota]

Schumann: Waldszenen
Maria João Pires (piano)

Exquisite and haunting pieces, like vignettes from a memory bank. Pires plays them beautifully.

[Iota]

Payare's face always reminds me of Mahler on that cover. 

[Lisztianwagner]

Arnold Schönberg
Five Pieces for Orchestra

Richard Strauss
Also sprach Zarathustra

Hans Rosbaud & Südwestfunk-Sinfonieorchester Baden-Baden

[Mapman]

I'd been meaning to re-listen to this, so thanks to @lordlance for posting about it earlier today.
Reger: Hiller Variations, Op. 100
Järvi: Concertgebouw

An excellent set of variations. To me it seems somewhere between the seriousness of Brahms' St. Anthony Variations and the orchestral color of Dohnányi's Variations on a Nursery Tune.

[Lisztianwagner]

Max Reger
Piano Concerto in F minor, Op. 114

Eduard Erdmann (piano)
Hans Rosbaud & Kölner Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester



First listen to this composition.

Cool! I'm still waiting for my copy.

How long did you manage to stay with that one?  I may go and hear them do it in London, if I can get an aisle seat.

Made it start to finish! Something I don't always do with these longer Feldman pieces, but it was worth it. And you should!
