I feel comfortable recommending this set.

The Piano Quintet was due to you and Kyle alerting me to it - such a great discovery for me.

I should revisit it soon. The impression it had on me was significant as well.

Tuba Concerto

VW succeeded to express so much in its 13 minutes long. I don't know many tuba concertos, but I'm pretty sure this stands out.

Good thing Sweelinck one of my favorite keyboard players, amen to you my brother.

I've intended to hear this work at some point.

It is in the style of Pärt's choral music. A bit long-winded (over an hour) but still impressive.
Bridge of dawn by this composer is also interesting.

Mendelssohn String Symphony 11 op.

[Traverso]

Bach 

Inventionen & Sinfonien

[aligreto]

A fine recording it is,

Yes indeed, Jan. I also have von Karajan's version of Bruckner 7 with the Berliners on DG which I cannot remember in detail. I suppose that it would make for an interesting exercise to do an A/B comparison with the two.

Good morning all,

A few more tracks of Biber's Rosary sonatas :

[Biffo]

Bax: Overture, Elegy and Rondo - BBC Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Sir Andrew Davis

[vers la flamme]

Yes indeed, Jan. I also have von Karajan's version of Bruckner 7 with the Berliners on DG which I cannot remember in detail. I suppose that it would make for an interesting exercise to do an A/B comparison with the two.

I would be especially curious to know how the EMI Karajan Bruckner 7 stacks up against his famous "final recording" of the same work in Vienna, on DG. I have and enjoy that performance, & now I'm curious about some of Karajan's earlier Bruckner recordings. As it stands he is quite far from my first choice in Bruckner, but I do enjoy his recordings from time to time.

Buxtehude: Sonatas:





Sonata in G major, BuxWV 271
Sonata in A minor, BuxWV 272
Sonata in F major, BuxWV 269

Be careful, you may be converted

includes way more of the chatty bits than I would have expected from a 2 disc set

JB Bach: Suite No. 1 [Huggett]





This is straightforward musical fare but quite charming nonetheless. It is also played with the requisite poise and refinement.

Tubin - 7th symphony

Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 [Haitink]





I have largely liked this version. My big issue with it is the presentation of the slow movement which is far too saccharine for me [I could only listen to approximately twenty five percent of it this time around]. Otherwise it is fine and holds up well. It is quite a transparent recording which reveals small hidden gems on close listening. It is also a live recording. The choral singing, in particular, is very fine.
