[Papy Oli]

And onto volume 2.

[Biffo]

Szymanowski:

Metopes - Piotr Anderszewski piano
10 Mazurkas from Op 50 - Marc-André Hamelin piano

[Harry]

Leo Weiner.

Orchestral Works, Volume I.

Ballad for Clarinet and Orchestra
Csongor and Tunde, Ballet. (Second version)
World premiere recordings.

Budapest SO, Valeria Csanyi.

A second successful start into the music of Leo Weiner, to my ears a very interesting composer.

[Traverso]

The Queens Delight

[Biffo]

Elgar: Introduction and Allegro for strings, Op 47; Elegy Op 58 - Halle Orchestra conducted by Sir John Barbirolli - recorded 1956

[steve ridgway]

Just been playing some compositions of 1950. Takemitsu - Lento In Due Movimenti, Pierre Henry - Concerto des ambiguïtés and Musique sans titre.

[Harry]

Hans Eklund.

Symphony No 3/5/11,

Norrköping SO, Hermann Bäumer.

Quite a sensation in sound and colours. An orchestral magician with passionate expression. He drives a hard but satisfying bargain.

[Traverso]

Shostakovich

The Song of the Forests Op. 81

Brighton Festival Chorus
New London Children's Choir
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

[DavidW]

I have yet to listen to this recording (I received it several days ago), but would definitely like to know your thoughts on it.

Yeah I only realized AFTER I listened to it that was not the recording you recommended!  Oops!  The music was surprisingly melodic and lyrical.  But I had no idea what to expect but yeah it is quite good and I'll be listening to more from this composer.

[Todd]

[Harry]

Karl Goldmark.

Symphonic Poems Volume I.

Bamberger Symphoniker, Fabrice Bollon.

Absolute stunning works, and well performed and recorded too. Goldmark was a far better composer as all seem to think, well maybe not all.

[Biffo]

Elgar: Symphony No 1 in A flat major, Op 55 - Halle Orchestra conducted by Sir John Barbirolli - recorded in 1956 in STEREO!

[The new erato]

Morning listening is the last of three Palestrina recordings to arrive on disc:
(Fortunately finding them was not as hard or expensive as I feared.)



Q

so where? 

[Carlo Gesualdo]

Giaches de Wert in vinyl wow what an LP Music from the court of Mantua, Giaches de wert, awesome hey!

I highly regard the work of this composer, it's no secret

[The new erato]

Hans Eklund.

Symphony No 3/5/11,

Norrköping SO, Hermann Bäumer.

Quite a sensation in sound and colours. An orchestral magician with passionate expression. He drives a hard but satisfying game.

An apt description of a very fine and interesting disc.

Now on disc 11 of this set, mostly by composers I never have heard of:

[Traverso]

Adam & Leoni

Just arrived 

Le Diable À Quatre

The Prayer and the Sword

[Harry]

Overtures from the British Isles.
Volume II.

BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Rumon Gamba.

A absolute marvelous series initiated by Chandos, As disc I number II gives equal pleasure. Unknown works, or almost, by known composers, recorded in marvelous sound, and it must be said, perfect performances. Recommended, both volumes. This CD I am going to use as a test CD on my new Esoteric CD player, amongst others.

[Harry]

Adam & Leoni
