What are you listening 2 now?

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

Very good, Kyle. Yep, this is one I have coming in the mail.

Thread duty -

Khronika blokadi Symphony, Op. 92



Fans of Shostakovich should definitely dig this work. I've got a bunch of Tishchenko recordings that I haven't listened to in years.

[vandermolen]

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

Yes, me too John! I'm trying to track it down. It looks likes a CD rather than an LP to me. It's clearly the same recording as on Chandos. I'm now involved in a cloak and dagger search behind the former Iron Curtain territories to try to see if I can find that Melodiya release 

[j winter]

I've been listening to a lot of Mozart and Haydn for the past few days... currently, Mozart K387 & 421 from this, which I'm finding to be a very satisfying box...

Haha...well, good luck! I can't seem to find out whether this was an actual CD release or just a download. Well, one thing is for sure, though, I'm thankful Chandos released it.

Boris Tchaikovsky: Fantasia on Russian Folk Themes:

Geez...Jeffrey, we've got to stop meeting like this. That's another good recording, although, obviously, not the best audio quality. Have you heard B. Tchaikovsky's Clarinet Concerto? If you haven't, then please do check it out. You'll enjoy it.

Thank you! Well, I've emailed my contact at 'Rare Russian Records' in Moscow to investigate for me. It looks like a CD to me but you can't be sure. The nice cover reminded me of this cover of Alfven's 4th Symphony. Yes, full marks to Chandos. I see that their accompanying notes mention that no recording information is available.

Now let's get to  musical part I'm listening to Nikolai Obuhow aka Obhoukov variant, great pianist and visionerarie composer , great great composer , truth
to surreal mysterious music, no one or no very else sound like this music before and after, how about it folks?

Don't know Nikolai Obuhow.  What is his music like?

Hi again John. Annoyingly I notice that I already have most of these recordings (though not the Slavonic Rhapsody as it's with a different conductor)  in my Alexander Gauk boxed set (Vol.1). Don't think I know the Clarinet Concerto but will look out for it.

[vandermolen]

Very good, Jeffrey. Keep me posted as I'm rather curious about this like you are.

Well John, Victor at Rare Russian Records in Moscow doesn't have a copy of it and I'm not entirely sure if it exists in CD format, but my hunch is that it does. However, I did notice the availability of a CD copy of the original LP with the 'nice' cover quite inexpensively from France. So, at the risk of appearing insane, I shall order that.

Currently playing:
Fricker: 'The Vision of Judgment' - his masterpiece IMO and not to be missed:

Very nice, Jeffrey. Do check out the Clarinet Concerto. It's available on that recording I was listening to not too long on Northern Flowers (Signs of the Zodiac, Four Preludes for Chamber Orchestra):

Great stuff! Right up my alley. I particularly liked the second suite from Gayane (esp. the Fire movement --- goodness, this was rip-roaring fun). I liked the Tjeknavorian work, too.

I'm listening to Philip Rogier or Philip van Wilder. Here one debatable but causal statement, I will say they craft similar patterns, layers , and ink.

Well Philippe Rogier if my memory is rightful, indicate me

Nicolas Gombert, came earlier on, what sio special about this composer well, complex melancolia and layer's of music  polyphony incredible, i site Paul van Nevel , my repect sir, thatt Gombert  used double counter-point, prior to J.S Bach we all love.
and  dissonance more an better than anyone else Rogier
did the same conclusion.

If you're a Flemish Historian of music, or Renaissance specialist or a knowledge person speak up about this and  do dissection of it all Like there is Dominique Phinot for one incredible motet , it reek Gombertism(methods) and skills of execution, Someone ever heard his Motet called: ecce pulcher es or the sublime: incipit oratio Jeremiah Prophetiea I.E or Philipp van Wilder whom work in court of England.

What is you're cue on this, on all of what I wrote, basically, observations and ect?

Rogier might be to the same level.Now name me classical composers you find Gombert-ian during Franco-Flemish time, kingdom of Burgundy..

Concerto for Violin, Piano and String Orchestra, Op. 144



Truly a family affair here: Rozhdestvensky conducting, his wife on piano and their son on violin.
