Piano Concerto in C sharp minor

A first listen. This is a quite compelling work with lots of drive and fervent Romanticism. Really good and I think I prefer it to her Symphony.
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.

Very nice, Cesar. I should revisit this work. I recall liking her chamber works quite a bit.

Yes, it's a fine piece, and I need to get familiar with her chamber works.

I'm realizing that female composers have written pretty good piano concertos.

Autumn Music

I recall John recommended me this work, and I'm very grateful for that! What a magical piece. The sense of melancholy it conveys is overwhelming. It shows Panufnik like a very human guy. Thank you, John. I really enjoyed this piece.

Excellent to read, Cesar. Yes, Autumn Music is an exquisite work. I might listen to it before I log off for the night.

It's certainly one of my mine, but I would be hesitant to claim it as my absolute favorite since there's so much in his oeuvre that I do enjoy.
True - Concerto Gregoriano also rates very highly for me.

Ferdinand Hiller and Klaus Egge's Piano Trios



Charming and intense pieces, respectively.
I've hardly ever seen Egge mentioned here apart from by me. That's a lovely disc with a great cover photo.

Now playing: Arthur Butterworth Symphony No.1

Schubert: String Quartet No. 8 in B♭, D 112



I hadn't delved into Schubert's earlier quartets before now.  This is a wonderful discovery.  Written by a 17-year-old!

Devastatingly beautiful. Totally different from the performance by La Compagnia del Madrigale, but the musical duality of Gesualdo comes clearly at the surface, and the struggle in this his last work is painted in vivid colours. The choir balance is amazing, the singing exemplary and the recording is state of the art. To be honest I could not live without this interpretation.

Boris Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 3 'Sevastopol Symphony'. I just received this CD-R transfer of the original Melodiya LP from Moscow. It is quite different to listening to the Chandos CD, more immediate with a few unobtrusive clicks. It's nicely presented with a mini version of the LP cover notes reproduced on the back, including a Soviet-style section in English. Very nostalgic:

This is such a fabulous, epic symphony.
