What are you listening 2 now?

Dussek, Johann or Jan (1760-1812) - Keyboard Works on fortepianos - Vols. 8 & 9 in the Brilliant series - not sure how many more will be released?  Dave

   

[Papy Oli]

Debussy - chansons de Bilitis

[Papy Oli]

[DavidW]

Just the 5th symphony.

[Roasted Swan]

Another rather wonderful rediscovery buried in amongst discs I own but don't really know.  This time, Atterberg's Symphony No.3 "West Coast Pictures" on CPO.  Couple with the better-known (more familiar to me at least) Symphony No.6 "Dollar Symphony".  But No.3 is positively epic!  Originally 3 separate Tone Poems (Sun Smoke, Storm & Summer Night) that Atterberg brought together under this symphonic title.  Wonderfully sweeping and exciting music in what seems to be a very good performance - I wonder how Jarvi's newer version on Chandos compares? - I imagine its the sort of score that would suit Jarvi well.



I also didn't realise Atterberg was one of the avatars used here until just now either!

That's a really fine looking LP box,I have the CD's as well. A great set.

[Karl Henning]

Second listen to Igor Markevitch: Icare. 



Very impressive work.  The orchestration is very transparent.  I also remembered that there's a live Bernstein/NYP recording.  I'll check that out next.

Nice!

[Karl Henning]

I'm actually listening to the CD set, I just posted a photo of the LP box because I like the cover.

[Mandryka]

Just seems to be mainly about timbre. Nice though, just the experience of letting the sounds kind of wash over you is agreeable. I'll be definitely exploring it more. Do we not have a thread on the Italian avant garde? Couldn't find one.

There's a booklet here if anyone's curious

Great tip, will give it a try soon.

Järvi is very good.  Or perhaps I enjoy this symphony whoever conducts it.  So I'm not sure you have to run out and buy it if you have the CPO, but it does have the benefit of an excellent Chandos recording (I do like the warmer sounding CPO sonics, as well.)
