What are you listening 2 now?

[Dry Brett Kavanaugh]

Prokofiev SY4. Kuchar/Kiev.

[Spotted Horses]

Beethoven String Quartet Op 18, No 6, Takacs



The first movement makes a strong impression, as well as the second movement. I didn't find the Scherzo as engaging, and the finale has a strange structure which I will have to listen to again when I have time.

[Pohjolas Daughter]

Karl Henning's Symphony No. 3 for Strings.  I'm not used to listening to things in Midi, so it's a bit rough listening.  I do so hope though that someone(s) will perform this!  First time listen for me.

PD

I listened to that symphony for the first time the other day. What did you think?

If I'm painfully honest Rott just sounds like warmed over Mahler.  Pleasant to listen to though.

I understand the challenges of the MIDI, and appreciate your giving it a go, PD!

TD: my favorite Jn Adams score:

It is only to be considered that it was not Mahler who influenced Rott, but Rott who influenced Mahler

[Brian]

First-ever listen to these works, third-ever listen to anything by this composer.

I will need to listen to these (Symphonies 1 and 2) again sometime - they struck me as pleasant and enjoyable but not very memorable. I think further listening will reveal more of the craftsmanship. The orchestra is underrehearsed and unfamiliar with the composer's style so you have to listen "past" them to a degree.

Now another Dallas premiere:



Morton Gould's Symphony No. 3 - decidedly not one of his lighter pieces!

[brewski]

Josquin: Nymphes des bois, déploration sur la mort d'Ockeghem (Graindelavoix, recorded June 2021). After hearing the superb version a few days ago from Capella Pratensis, a friend suggested this one. It seems slightly slower, with some interesting melismas. (I am no expert in this style.) Excellent sound and photography, and another group (based in Antwerp) new to me.

I don't know Rott's music, but interesting to learn that!

[Florestan]

A Gluch-athon in the making? 

[Linz]

Schubert Piano Sonata in C minor. D.958 and Piano Sonata in A major. D.959, Claudio Arrau

[Wanderer]

A Gluch-athon in the making? 

Probably! A Donizetti-thon is also possible. 😎
I'm interspersing Rossini (usually after returning from the beach) with my other listening (some new releases, some Gluck, some Schumann, some Medtner, Liszt's "Dante"- and "Faust"-Symphonie, Messiaen's Saint François d'Assise - streaming is great for when one's away from the collection!). The Rossini-thon is happily "stuck" to L'Italiana in Algeri: I keep listening to it for three days now (several versions, of course). I hope I'll have the heart to move on to Aureliano in Palmira before the end of the week. 😉

Excellent line up. Enjoy!

Thanks!
And regarding Gluck, it just felt wrong not to listen to Iphigénie en Aulide before Iphigénie en Tauride. 

Euripides' Ιφιγένεια εν Ταύροις, in particular, is to be performed in a local ancient theatre later in the month and I just might be going. 🙂

Yes but the pupil quickly surpassed the teacher.

You should be going. 

[Wanderer]

You should be going. 

And I hope you'll be going to the Enescu Festival. A particularly delectable line-up this year, both program- and performer-wise!

[Linz]

Bruckner Symphony No. 4 in E Flat Major, 1878/80 Version (1880 with Bruckner's 1886 revisions) - Ed. Leopold Nowak, Rudolf Barshai,Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra and Gluck, 'Iphigenia Aulis' Overture

[AnotherSpin]

Yes but the pupil quickly surpassed the teacher.

When Rott died, he was 25 years old.
