What are you listening 2 now?

[JBS]

Shostakovich
Symphony No. 8 in c minor
Slava
LSO Live

That was my introduction to the Eighth.  Perhaps it is merely imprinting, but I have yet to hear a recording of that symphony which I like better.

Great Bliss CD as well linking both of his PCs.

[Symphonic Addict]

Bax for piano and orchestra

Winter Legends is a real stunner IMO.

[Symphonic Addict]

I love 'The Waggon Passes' from the Nursery Suite.

Here it is:

Oh yes, Nursery Suite is a delightful piece.

[Symphonic Addict]

Passionate, soulful, poetic, intimate Brahms. A summary of his creative life.

Now:



Malipiero: String Quartet No. 3 Cantàri alla Madrigalesca

I'm very fond of these string quartets. I like very much the way Malipiero paid homage to the Renaissance masters with these works.

I like them too. Love the Ensor painting cover art. He had a very bizarre sense of humour.

Busoni: Piano Concerto
Cappello (piano)/Rome SO/La Vecchia

This mammoth concerto feels like that form's equivalent of Bruckner's symphonies. A vast monolithic cathedral in sound.

Frank Martin: Les quatre éléments - London Philharmonic conducted by Matthias Bamert - atmospheric piece!

[Mookalafalas]

Extraordinary.
