What are you listening 2 now?

Berg's songs are superb, Hartmann's were less immediate to me. Nonetheless a great disk.

Hi Jeffrey! Yes I do know the symphony, a super fine work indeed. As a matter of fact, I think I'll listen to it today . Last time dates back over 4 years ago...

Let me do the same, own the CD, but have actually hardly ever been listenening to it; your recommendation - both of you - is very helpful. Symphony No. 1 (1942) by Klaus Egge it is, for this rainy Sunday afternoon!

String Quartets 1-3

Extraordinary concept behind that CD.

That looks like a great disc. I know Berg's lieder and rather enjoy these works, but I don't know the Hartmann. I might have to investigate. Juliane Banse has a beautiful voice.

Listening to two different versions of Ravel's Ma mère l'Oye:

Two piano arrangement:



Orchestral:

[Pohjolas Daughter]

Well, I might-might have mentioned it before - but still, it's sort of a bit interesting 

I recall you meeting Per Norgard before, but not the record part of it.

I really like the DGG piano disc although I'm sure that Cluytens's CD is great as well. I have him conducting the two Ravel PCs.

A great choice and the PC No.2 on the same disc is very nice too.
It's been tipping with rain almost all day here as well.

Op 2.  Revisiting to hear if it retains Top 10 status.  So far, it does.

Boughton's series with various English composers on the Nimbus label is generally a treat.

[Iota]

I gave those songs/mélodies a try and I liked them! I could try the rest of his mélodies as well.

I'd also recommend Debussy's Chansons de Bilitis if you don't know them. Jewels of the genre as well.

Symphony No. 4

This work grows on me more and more. Each movement ends with a feeling of uncertainty, doubt. A relatively fast performance, and it worked quite well.

The box that started my Sibelius journey a long time ago. 

Cyrillus Kreek.

Recorded in 2012 I see, yet observing the very quintessence of perfect social distancing!

Prokofiev: Sonata No.9


Marshev as ever rises highly engagingly to the task. Some particularly lovely moments of reverie.

Prokofiev: Sonata No.9[/b]


Marshev as ever rises highly engagingly to the task. Some particularly lovely moments of reverie.

Marshev was the Hatto Prokofiev pianist, but not in 9. I have no idea why.

Ah right, didn't know, interesting thanks!

Curious about No.9, perhaps using somebody else for one of the sonatas was Barrington-Coupe's attempts to muddy his tracks a bit.

I really like the DGG piano disc although I'm sure that Cluytens's CD is great as well. I have him conducting the two Ravel PCs.

I love both versions for completely different reasons. A magical, fairy-tale world this music inhabits.

I also enjoyed  (via Spotify) the Codex Chantilly series by the ensemble Tetraktys (Olive Music): less mellow and a bit more edgy and quirky.

An excellent recommendation! As you say, notably different in tenor, but very captivating indeed. Am looking forward to delving deeper in!
