Dohnanyi: Symphony No. 2
Florida State University SO/Jimenez

Hey, that's where I went to school  Dohnányi composition faculty at Florida State back in the day and the main concert hall there was named for him. Anyway I've been meaning to check out that recording. I don't know his music all that well.

Now playing:



Maurice Ravel: Gaspard de la nuit; Valses nobles et sentimentales. Pascal Rogé

Rogé's a killer pianist, and his Ravel is second only to Samson François for me (though much less idiosyncratic than monsieur François, Rogé might be considered a better reference). I have the rather acclaimed Jean-Efflam Bavouzet set (on MDG) sitting on my desk, unplayed. Haven't been in much a Ravel mood since I bought it, it was a random find, though I am finding his music creeping back into my listening now that the weather is cooling off a bit.

[Symphonic Addict]

That's a really interesting series.  I'll keep an eye out for that one.  For me, this era (first half of the 20th Century) is the most fertile source of new discoveries.

That's the first CD of that series I explore and it was utterly utterly rewarding. You could like it too. I tend to agree with you on the last sentence. Certainly most of my favorite music ever belongs to that period.

The Canticle of the Sun

A strange piece but intriguing at once.




Piano Concerto No. 1

I did not recall how astonishing this work is. Mysterious, somber, nocturnal. This seems to be his most underrated concerto (not to say his VC 1).

[Todd]

Yet another go.  It gets better with each listen.

[JBS]

I have only listened to the Ibert, Jeffrey. Sorry.

TD: Ibert - Flute Concerto & String Quartet

   

I see a theme there. Granted, nothing to do with the composer...

Johann Sebastian Bach: Toccata & Fugue in D minor, BWV 565; Trio Sonata No.1 in E-flat major, BWV 525. Helmut Walcha

It's maybe once in a blue moon that I'm in the mood for Bach organ music, but it's usually Walcha I reach for. I need to explore more of this music sometime.

Charming piano trios. Not as substantial as some of their contemporaries, but they're entertaining enough. The No. 7 in A minor is the best of the bunch.

Yesterday:

Strauss: Der Rosenkavalier [Solti]





To my uneducated ear, Crespin sounds wonderful here.

There's many mentions of the Solti recording of Rosenkavalier in the Murakami novel I recently finished (Killing Commendatore). And to Mozart's Don Giovanni, the opening of which gives the book its title.

And two great paintings by Caspar David Friedrich - one of my favourite artists.
