Me? It's been a while since I have mentioned Marais or Savall.

[Symphonic Addict]

Two beautiful, deeply moving and contemplative string quartets by the Danish composer Rudolph Simonsen that contrast with the astringency and seriousness of his Clarinet Quintet. I take the former, I leave the latter. Interesting music.

Ernst Toch (1887-1964): String Quartets No. 11 op. 34 & No. 13 op. 74
Buchberger Quartett

These quartets are wonderful. I'm thankful to CPO for recording such great repertoire that is ignored by other labels.

[Cato]

These quartets are wonderful. I'm thankful to CPO for recording such great repertoire that is ignored by other labels.

Yes, Ernst Toch is another "under-appreciated" composer!

Check out this symphony:

I need to check these out.

Am I right in thinking that's the same quartet that recorded Holmboe's quartets?

CD 4
No 14 in E Flat Major K449
No 15 in B Flat Major K450

So far the only flaw with this set is its incompleteness--no PC 1-4, no concertos for two or three pianos.

Interesting Cesar. Don't know these works but I really liked the CD of Simonsen's symphonies on CPO. I thought that the 'ClassicO' label didn't exist any more.

Mozart : Requien
Peter Neumann

That entire set is one of my Mozart favourites, even if I also like other individual recordings of the Mass in C minor and the Requiem.

Morning listening:



Absolutely gorgeous music, but the level of inspiration and technical execution is just not quite cutting it...

A return to this set with disc 8, which features no less than three historical organs in Italy.

Barry's VC.  It really is most entertaining.

[Dry Brett Kavanaugh]

Peter Mennin: Canzona.

[Traverso]

Saariaho

I like it....

Mozart - Idomeneo
John Eliot Gardiner • English Baroque Soloists, 1990

That is a great opera that is sadly usually eclipsed by Mozart's other operas.

Simpson, String Quartet No 4



Was going to listen to Quartet No 2, but this then I'd have to find the flac files.

Interesting work, mostly enjoyed for the texture (contrapuntal and harmonic). It was created as a sort of doppelgänger for Beethoven's Quartet Op 59, No 1, but I didn't pay attention to that. (I'm supposed to be listening to Op 59, No 1 next in my Beethoven String Quartet traversal.)

Peter Mennin: Canzona.

Played this in a Region Band back in Junior High. I still remember that thrill.
