The best conducting I have ever seen in all my life, from Dudamel.

That was some truly phenomenal conducting. Hats off for maestro Dudamel. When he brought out the tennis racket, I knew I was watching something special.

Same phenomenon here. For instance, I got this quite a way back, didn't like it for some reason.  Pulled it out now, and find my opinion has changed drastically

At the moment, K 575, the D Major "Prussian" quartet.

Nice.

Both on my to-do list. I have 2 CDs of late piano trios but that's all.

Probably the Florestan Trio, am I right? Very good indeed,  but also very limited. Try some of the complete sets, preferably BAT --- as a whole they've never been bettered. Caveat: I'm not a HIP guy.

You know me too well. 😆
Every single post on the forum is unnecessary. Including the ones that are interesting or useful.

Regarding Mahler 3 from Maazel WP -- Wow.  Just wow.  This has always been one of my favorite Mahler symphonies, and this is a beautiful recording of it.

TD:  Palate cleanser, heart-rate stabilizer:  Bach, Sonatas for Viola da Gamba, Jordi Savall/Ton Koopman





The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.

-- William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

Pleyel, Ignaz (1757-1831) - Clarinet Concertos, Sextets/Octets, & Piano Trios - performances w/ the groups below (keyboardist in Trio 1790 on harpsichord/fortepiano) - own about 16 discs of Pleyel's music so more to come; there is also a Pleyel Thread, for those interested.  Dave :)

Nino Rota, Symphony No. 3 (1956) - a subtly neoclassical affair with a warm & inspired slow movement, fine composer, much to my liking:
... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948

Recent discussion in the Mahler thread (hat tip to vers la flamme), and André's listing Willem van Otterloo's among his favourite recordings of the Fourth Symphony, have led me to revisit it.


Great stuff! I'm still in the first movement, and eagerly awaiting Teresa Stich-Randall's appearance in the closing lied.  :)

The coupled Brahms Alto Rhapsody is very fine as well, although it's a slightly incongruous choice to follow up on the M4.

To wrap up tonight's listening, a wonderful piece of music in a jewel of a recording: Claudio Abbado conducts the Chamber Orchestra of Europe in Wagner's Siegfried-Idyll (live from Lucerne in 1988).

That recording of the Symphony is absolutely potent and imposing. One of my all-time favorite symphonies. I'm about to hear it (Naxos recording).
The current annihilation of a people on this planet (you know which one it is) is the most documented and at the same time the most preposterously denied.
