Bruckner: Symphony No.5 [Sinopoli]





This is a very strong and powerful version of this work yet it is a very lyrical one also. Sinopoli caresses the music lovingly.

Good morning all,

New composer of the day : Franz Krommer - wind sextets.

Saw the name pop up in the purchases thread a day or two ago, in a post from Brian I think. this is simply lovely music. Will have a go at his symphonies at some point (the CPO covers of those is what caught my eye in the first place in the post).

 

Hey Papy Oli - I've been updating my classical database lately - inserted above is a selection that includes my Krommer CDs -   Dave

Well, a little Jordi Savall and Hesperion XXI this afternoon!    Dave

Good stuff! And thanks - very helpful, as I enjoy this composer's wind and orchestral music. Gives me some ideas on where to go next.

Looks v interesting Fergus. The 5th is now my favourite along with No.9

[vandermolen]

That issue (Rubbra) for me too. Will listen this evening.

I'm thoroughly enjoying that CD Lol and have played it through several times. I enjoy every work on it but highlights are the First Quartet with its beautiful slow movement an the eloquent Sonata for Cello and Piano:

[vandermolen]

I am not offended by the reality of diversity in taste.  (But I am offended by Bernstein's symphonies. As someone -- maybe Virgil Thomson? -- so devastatingly quipped: "Bernstein can do anything he doesn't set his mind to..." 

I think that's more of a comment on Virgil Thomson, whose own music I find rather boring (but maybe that's a comment on me!  )

Hi Neal - agree - those Wind Partitas are especially enjoyable (to my ears) - Dave

I don't think I have ever heard Sinopoli in Bruckner, i'll have to remedy to that.

Thank you for the list Dave. I have already saved some of the bassoon quartets, string quartets, Clarinet concertos and a couple of the CPO symphonies ones on my streaming platform. Look forward to exploring those, the wind sextets were extremely enjoyable already.

Me too Olivier. I hope that you enjoyed Christopher Columbus!

Now playing - one of the great Hovhaness discs I think:

[Papy Oli]

Well, a little Jordi Savall and Hesperion XXI this afternoon!    Dave
 

I'd save that one from a house fire among the very first CDs. Love it.

[Papy Oli]

Me too Olivier. I hope that you enjoyed Christopher Columbus!

That was so-so I'm afraid, not much interest sustained beyond the initial overture 

[SonicMan46]

Villa-Lobos, Heitor (1887-1959) - Piano Music w/ Sonia Rubinsky - 8-CD box - purchased back in 2013 according to my Amazon records, but listened to just a couple of times - weekend project - now on disc 2 - Dave

Well, a little Jordi Savall and Hesperion XXI this afternoon!    Dave

I'd save that one from a house fire among the very first CDs. Love it.

In that case I'll hire it from you, love this CD and hope it survives your fire.

Are you sure you didn't mean to write: some of the hottest, most staggeringly wild & exciting showpieces by any German composer of all time? 

Nope, not at all!

Meditation on old Bohemian Chorale St. Wenceslas, Op. 35a

Love Suk's chamber music!  I have this set.  Do you have it too or just the single CD?



Best,
