Quote from: ritter on April 10, 2021, 07:26:10 AMAnd now, another recent arrival:


Apart from the well-known Saudades do Brasil, this CD shows Milhaud in a more restrained form, a sort of "sunny nostalgia". Françoise Choveaux plays the music beautifully. A very enjoyable disc!

Great! I love Milhaud's solo piano music, but also all of those lovely works he wrote for piano and various ensembles/orchestras. He's certainly a composer that continues to impress me.

Vaughan Williams: On Wenlock Edge.



Inspired by A.E. Housman discussion on vinyl thread I gave "On Wenlock Edge" a spin. I find it fascinating comparing different composer's settings of the same Housman poem. Unsurprisingly RVW usually comes out top although George Butterworth gives him a run for his money in "Bredon Hill" for example, which is one of six songs that make up "On Wenlock Edge".
You must have a very good opinion of yourself to write a symphony - John Ireland.

I opened the door people rushed through and I was left holding the knob - Bo Diddley.

This gentle, caressing, comforting Requiem, this "lullaby to death" in loving memory of my father who passed away during sleep a week ago.

Very sorry to hear this, Florestan. All strength and good wishes to you and your family.

Sorry for your loss, Andrei. The Fauré is a beautiful memorial to your father.

Stravinsky: Symphony of Psalms


Such a striking and moving work, a feeling that's aided by its very particular sonority I find. Another marvellous performance from Herreweghe and co.

There was a time when I would readily have designated the Reformation my least favorite Mendelssohn Symphony, but that feels like the Dark Ages, now. I love it.
