What are you listening 2 now?

[Tsaraslondon]

Version sans récitant

Cyrille Dubois, Zachary Wilder -Tenors

Accentus
Orchestre de chambre de Paris - Laurence Equilbey

An interesting and at times quite original work. The sunrise and song of the muezzin is particularly arresting.

[Roasted Swan]

Not heard of William Busch, will investigate.

Busch is well worth listening to.  Side fact - father of the great Nicholas Busch - longtime principal horn of many London orchestras including the LPO.  Played the big horn solos on the famous Barbirolli/New Philharmonia/Mahler 5

[Traverso]

The Royal Lewters

[aligreto]

Zelenka: Missa Sancti Josephi [Viktora]





This is my first listen to this work and I really like it. The performances from all concerned are also very good.

[San Antone]

[aligreto]

Not a conductor that I easily associate with shostakovich.

Nor I but I was impressed.

I purchased a few days ago this new set.

Good luck with and enjoy that set. I am particularly fond of his Sibelius.

[aligreto]

I used to have that exact LP. Brought back memories.

All good I trust?

[aligreto]

Decades since I've seen that LP - another nostalgia trip.

Do you remember it being as good as I think it is?

[Irons]

Thanks.

[aligreto]

Handel: Concerti Grossi Op. 6 No. 9 [Standage]

[Tsaraslondon]

All good I trust?

Indeed yes.

[vers la flamme]

Franz Schubert: Die schöne Müllerin, D795. Fritz Wunderlich, Hubert Giesen. Best male-singer/piano-accompanist duo ever? Quite possibly!

Now playing:

Langgaard
Symphony No. 6, "Det Himmelrivende", BVN 165
Dausgaard
Danish NSO



I'm sure Cesar (SymphonicAddict) will appreciate this.

[vers la flamme]

Arnold Schoenberg: Variations for Orchestra, op.31. Robert Craft, Philharmonia Orchestra.

Arnold Schoenberg: Variations for Orchestra, op.31. Robert Craft, Philharmonia Orchestra.

I think I'll do the same but this performance:

[aligreto]

Haydn: The Seven Last Words [Lindsays]





I find this to be such a wonderful performance and interpretation.

[vers la flamme]

I think I'll do the same but this performance:

I think one of these days I'll get the Boulez Erato box. All of those performances sound great. That being said, my least favorite Boulez disc is Le Visage Nuptiale and Le Soleil des Eaux on Erato, but I think that's more to do with the works than with the performance.

[Traverso]

Shostakovich

24 Préludes & Fugues,op.87

[Traverso]

Franz Schubert: Die schöne Müllerin, D795. Fritz Wunderlich, Hubert Giesen. Best male-singer/piano-accompanist duo ever? Quite possibly!

That's a classic,one of my first loves in classical music.I felt completely one with the music and the performer.

I can't anything about the Boulez works since I'm not really a big fan. I'll have to take your word for it. But for the Second Viennese School, Boulez seldom disappoints.
