Mozart: Serenade for Wind Instruments K.388 [LA Chamber Orchestra Winds]

[aligreto]

Well, today and likely tomorrow, I'll be spending time w/ the composer below:

Czerny, Carl (1791-1857) - own just a dozen discs or so - first 4 up for a listen below - his list of compositions adds up to 861 Opus numbers, but many have multiple items and he also has 'unpublished' works - Dave

     

Very nice Dave. Czerny is a composer that I would like to explore more. I only have one CD and that is




I would be interested in pursuing the Piano Trios CD

[Karl Henning]

Not as much as the music 

Makes me think of Laurie Anderson's jest, "The Difficult Listening Hour."

[Karl Henning]

Excellent, as is all of the series I've heard...

Indeed!

Hi Aligreto - love the natural horn/fortepiano disc - as you likely know, Czerny was quite the 19th century piano pedagogue, evident by the Wiki quote and pic below (from my previous link) - my wife took piano for many years and played a bunch of Czerny's pieces, so his piano composition varied from simple 'lessons' to much more - most of the rest of his recordings that I own relate to the piano, including two of the three 2-CD volumes of solo sonatas w/ Martin Jones, maybe a purchase?  Dave  (P.S. click on the images for enlargement, esp. the 'piano family tree'!)

That it was, Karl.

Vaughan Williams: Symphony No. 6 Bournemouth SO/Bakels

Tippett: Piano Concerto  Ogdon (piano)/Philharmonia Orchestra/C. Davis

Butterworth: Symphony No. 1  Munich SO/Bostock

All three fine, but great that you appreciate Kees Bakels' unfinished Vaughan Williams symphonies cycle; one of the finest, far better overall, at least fresh and daring, than the more well-known by his compatriot Bernard Haitink IMHO. 

Richard Arnell is one of my favourite British composers. Found so much comfort and musical satisfaction in his compositions.
Enjoy.

+ 1. Did you ever try his 'Baroque Prelude and Fantasia Op. 34' for organ (officially from 1948, but written in wartime in a basement, IIRC from an earlier fine recording no longer available)? Very memorable, I remembered everything of it after forty years.

And then, there are the layers of kitsch added by Baz Luhrmann's gratuitous use of "Roxanne" in his "Revolutionary Spectacular," "Moulin Rouge"

Best part of the movie!

Imogen Cooper's first go round with Schubert.

She's currently opening with the Sonata in G, D894, and she's doing it very nicely thank you.

Sad, but true

Jean-Michel Damase: sonata for flute and harp; second piano concerto; symphony. Extremely well-crafted works all, but the symphony stands out for its melodic freshness.

First proper listen to Michael Endres' Schubert is to the disc with D557, D566, D575 and D664.

Impressions a couple of sonatas in are fairly positive, though these aren't the greatest or most searching things in Schubert's catalogue.

+1, the symphony is a miracle. Thanks to all of you (Kyle especially because he kept spreading the gospel) for attending me.

Disc 2

Symphony no 2 in C minor

State Academic Symphony Orchestra - Evgeni Svetlanov

This set is absolutely gorgeous. I didn't really know the Scriabin symphonies that well but now I'm hooked.

[Irons]

Shostakovich: 6 Preludes & Fugues.



A monumental set. The life-affirming No.15 is the one for me.

[Ratliff]

Mention of Askenazy's retirement from public performance prompted me to listen to his recording of Mozart Piano Concert No 25 in C. Just a great performance. The finale, particularly the close, is the thrilling ride it should be.



Was inspired to listen to some other extroverted Mozart, the serenade in E-flat for harmonium, recording by the English Concert Winds. Fantastic music
