What are you listening 2 now?

[vandermolen]

Which I just listened to as well.

I have a Sibelius problem. Listening to Tapiola makes me listen to the 7th, which makes me listen to Tapiola again.

This time it's Vanska.

That doesn't sound too serious a problem to me.

[Symphonic Addict]

Symphony No. 7

The 1st movement has to be one of his very best in the symphonic output, and Handley understands the score greatly. Desolate and weird work. Fascinating stuff.

[Pohjolas Daughter]

That doesn't sound too serious a problem to me.

Fabulous.

[Carlo Gesualdo]

I told you about Pierre Moulu, I've became hook on, the good flow  , fluid  & warm of Brabant ensemble, lead Brilliant conductor Stephen Rice, it's one of their best yet.

I heard some harsh critics about Brabant ensemble they sound too English, well I don't know hoe to take this remark but, this album is excellent.

Start whit a delightfull & spiritual Motet Mater Floreat, than the ''plat de résistance'' Missa missus Gabriel Angellus followed up by,another Motet: In Pace, quite beautiful well inspired.

Dessert time : Missa Alma Redemptoris Mater. May I need to say more, one among the best albums of Brabant ensemble like I.e Mantua, Crécquillon, Brumel, Morales, Gombert I.e

[Symphonic Addict]

Symphonies 1 & 2

The 1st features ethereal Impressionistic soundscapes. It's a nice work but I didn't feel it too compelling. The 2nd is quite another  matter. It's like a transitional work between his Impressionistic and Neoclassical periods, and it stands out its dark mood throughout. This work demands concentration, and it does deserve it. The final impression is rewarding.

Symphony No. 7

The 1st movement has to be one of his very best in the symphonic output, and Handley understands the score greatly. Desolate and weird work. Fascinating stuff.

+1 Great work and one of the first by Arnold that I owned on CD. I think that Handley's performance is the best I have heard. Desolate indeed!

[Mandryka]

Franco Evangelisti Die Schachtel, Struttura 3.  Very good music.

In the background while wroking from home, Gianfrancesco Malipiero's Dialoghi I through IV, i.e. CD 1 of tis set:



EDIT:

Moving from spiky Mediterranean neoclassicism to lush Viennese late romanticism (Korngold and Franz Schmidt).

Early 1980s recordings made when Mutter was still a teenager. There has never been any doubting her star quality.

I have this disc too. I really like the Korngold.

[vers la flamme]

Gustav Mahler: Symphony No.2 in C minor, the "Resurrection". Bruno Walter, New York Philharmonic.

Yes, I know, I'm obsessed with this symphony lately. This is probably one of the best recordings of it. Great playing from the NYPO of the late 1950s.

[vandermolen]

Boris Tchaikovsky: Symphony No.1
An impressive score which reminded me of Moisei Weinberg's music in places.

[Traverso]

Bach

Cello Suite No.5

[Traverso]

Bach

These are still my favorite Harpsichord Concertos and of course the opening of this CD with the beautiful "Triple Concerto".

[steve ridgway]

First listen to Scelsi  ‎– The Orchestral Works 1. Great idea to intersperse the weird singing and bongos of some of the Canti Del Capricorno with the massive, overwhelming full orchestral pieces.
