The Lucchesini Beethoven sounds quite special in the early sonatas that I love. Will go piecemeal for the rest of the cycle.

Change of scenery:

Arnold Bax - String Quintet in G for 2 violins, viola and 2 cellos + String Quartet in A Major.

A truly wonderful program, alternating orchestral and vocal works from Bloch's european period. 11 tracks, 11 gems, sumptuously played and recorded. Thanks to Jeffrey for the discovery of this superb disc !

[aligreto]

Bruckner: Symphony No. 5 [Chailly]





This was a wonderful, sensitive performance with plenty of "weight"; the strings sounded great [unsurprisingly] and the brass was biting!

[prémont]

Nice to see you back Fergus !

+1.

[Pohjolas Daughter]

Thanks for the link BWV!

Listened to the rest of that Naxos CD; it also had Rawsthorne's PC No. 2 on it along with Improvisations of a theme by Constant Lambert.  Enjoyable!

Off to work in the garden now that it's 1) not raining and 2) the sun is at least temporarily, not beating down!

Very cool, Jeffrey. It's a fantastic work. Oh, I like that Melodiya cover better than the Chandos one.

[Traverso]

New arrival, first listen.

Giovanni Sgambati.

Symphony No 1, opus 16 in D major, & No. 2 in E flat major.

Württembergische Philharmonie Reutlingen, Ola Rudner.

This is a composer that can put WOW behind his name. Stunning music in perfect performances, and excellent sound.

I'm not quite as taken by Sgambati as others here, but I love the scherzo of the 2nd Symphony! What a scintillating, inventive, and memorable movement!

[kyjo]

Poulenc: Aubade. First listen.

Great stuff! I love Poulenc's concertante works. But then again, I love most things Poulenc wrote!

[kyjo]

Piano Quintet in E major, Op. 15

Pounds the table! Isn't that slow movement just sublime?

[kyjo]

Currently up:  Rawsthorne Piano Concerto No. 1 with Peter Donohoe, Ulster Orch. & Takuo Yuasa on Naxos.

Great stuff! Rawsthorne at his wittiest and most accessible.

It really is, Kyle. I've been enjoying all of these Korngold chamber works immensely. I have the Chandos recordings coming of the SQs, String Sextet and Piano Quintet, but I'm not sure how they'll compare to the CPO recordings. Hopefully, they will, if anything, offer a nice contrast.

I haven't heard the CPO recordings, but I can say that the below Chandos CD is excellent:
