Messiaen

This is not a Calliope recording but one of a later date (1995) on the organ of the church where Messiaen was an organist,

Grand Orgue de l'Église de la Trinité Paris

[Madiel]

Sibelius, Song of the Earth op.93



Hmm. The music is slightly grand and...pleasant. I wouldn't say this is a top-notch work. For one thing it's held back by a rather overworked and clunky text, specially written for the occasion (opening of a new university).

[vers la flamme]

Johannes Brahms: Symphony No.3 in F major, op.90. Otto Klemperer, Philharmonia Orchestra.

[aligreto]

Brahms: Violin Sonata No. 3 [Suk/Katchen]

[Papy Oli]

Vaughan Williams - A Pastoral Symphony (Handley)

And No.4 ...

[aligreto]

Symphony No. 8 [Beecham]





This is a powerful but quite dark version in my book.

[steve ridgway]

Karl Stamitz: Flute Concerto in D major [Galway/Prieur]





HIP it is not but very good it is.

This reminds me that Sir James played on a 1971 album by the multi-national crossover / world music group Between. "Try Bach" is less than a minute long but a real classic .

Delighted you like the CD John. Levitan's 'Eternal Rest' features on quite a few CD or LP covers. I really like the painting:

Thank you, Jeffrey. Personally, while I do like the Levitan painting, I think a painting from a Finnish artist would have been more appropriate --- I mean we all know that Finland was a grand duchy under Russia, but still, there's many great Finnish paintings to choose from.

Like this one from Järnefelt for example:

[San Antone]

Mozart : Piano Sonata No. 8 in A minor
Maria João Pires

[Traverso]

Webern

CD6

Works for solo piano,violin & piano,cello & piano

[aligreto]

Spohr: Nonet Op. 31 [Wiener Oktett]





I find this to be an intriguing work.

Like this one from Järnefelt for example:

I like that painting.

Hi Sarge,
Had to abort listening to the 4th. I will resume attentively from start tomorrow.

Did like most of the 3rd though, particularly the gorgeous soprano part coming in.
